Lake Powell 2010

We are so lucky to be able to go to Lake Powell with our good friends the Brothers family. We missed the past 2 years and were so happy to be back in action. We had a BLAST! What can go wrong with good food, good friends and good fun? NOTHING!! We hiked, ate, slept, played games, had fireworks, tubed, fished, went for boat rides,wake boarded, knee boarded, swam, went down the slide, had a water balloon game, played on the beach in the sand, and last but not least we found time to relax. It was so FUN! The spot we stayed in was PERFECT for kids. Great beach, plenty of room for the kids to swim without getting too deep. Shade in the morning and evening and sun in the day. It really was perfect and I enjoyed myself SO much. Thanks again Bry and Cecilie for another fun adventure together. We love spending time with you.

MASON is 3!!!!

Happy Birthday Mason! Ths post is a little late. His birthday was on 5-24-10, but better late than never. Mason is so loving and kind. He is always happy and has the sweetest smile. He wraps his little arms around your neck and tells you he loves you. He will share anything with anyone. He loves to go to church, grandma's and grandpa's and play with cousins and friends. He is the toughest little boy you will ever meet. He is one of a kind and and we can't get enough of him. He is so full of light and is a bright happy boy. We love you Mason.

We started Masons birthday with my family and a party. Garet, the boys and I got him the trampoline, and my family got him the pool and all the extras to go with it. HE LOVED IT...so much in fact that he swam in it even though it was only 45 degrees outside. He loves to swim.
Then he had a 2nd party with Garets family. It was special because everyone was here together. We went to the Utah lodge and he was spoiled rotten. I didn't get any pictures at the party but Grandma gave him this pirate boat water table and a croquet set. LOVES it. It was the perfect present for Mason. He can play in a sink with water and a cup for hours. Meag and Chase gave him the Iron Man mask, Lauren and Royce have him a fun twisting sprinkler...very fun under the tramp too, and Dalton and Holly gave him Ants in your pants game. All 3 boys have loved all the gifts. Thanks everyone for making Mason's 3rd birthday so special.
