Lake Powell

Our good friends invited our family to go on their last Lake Powell trip of the season (back in September). It was so much fun!! It has been many years since I have experienced Lake Powell without a house boat and it was a lot of fun. The kids actually did pretty well sleeping in tents. It was seriously PERFECT weather. It would get cool enough at night to be comfortable sleeping and the days were sunny with NO wind...let me repeat myself for any of you who have gone to Lake Powell. There was NO wind!! The vacation did have its share of "hiccups" including Cole's sister loosing her boat off her trailer on the way down to the lake. It was scary but everyone was ok and the boat was actually able to get on the lake the next day. Thanks Cole for inviting us to come. We had a blast!!



Yes my husband is a dare devil... can you see where he jumped from? Click on the picture to make it larger. YIKES! I jumped from where the few individuals are standing on the bottom right. Kyson actually jumped just a little lower than that... so my 3 year old son pretty much showed me up!



We climbed "Sand Mountain". Talk about a leg workout! Kyson also experienced this adventure with us. He was such a trooper.




Brox's girlfriend Elsie. Aren't they the cutest!!

Kyson also tried wake surfing. Can you believe Cole was able to do this?!?! Cole has many talents, and apparently so does Kyson!



I wish this picture was a little more in focus but it was so cute I couldn't resist. Brox loved being in the water too!

Cole's niece... too cute!
Ashley & Elsie... sun goddesses!!

Thanks again Cole! Don't forget us next year.

Happy 80th Birthday!


The Rollo's had a surprise party for Great Grandma Rollo for her big 80th birthday (in September...I'm a little behind in posting). She is such a great example for Shad & I and we absolutely adore her! We love you Grandma Great!!

Quick Trip with Ma & Pa.

My Mom invited me to come to St. George and stay with my parents while my Dad went to a conference for work. We had so much fun together. We played in a splash park, ate lunch with Kenzie in between her classes. We went to a movie, shopped and played in the hotel pool.







Kyson also got to have his very first experience sitting in a dental chair! Aunt Z got to clean his teeth and take some x-rays. He was a fantastic patient and received many prizes.

Then one of my friends said she had 4 extra tickets to a BYU game. I couldn't pass that up (even in a "rebuilding" year). So I continued to Ephraim and spent a couple days there too!





This is Natalie's best attempt at the "Y". Don't ask.



Yes we did enjoy ourselves on our mini vacation... almost as much as the kid in the row behind me in this picture. LOL!


XOXO Melanie
