Our Yard summer 2009

Working in the Yard

One of the things that Dwight and I enjoy is spending time out side in our yard. However having a beautiful yard means a lot of man hours spent keeping it up. I guess that its worth it when were spending time enjoying it as a family.

Here is our family dog George. Dwight and the girls totally love him

Lake Powell

Lake Powell Family Vacation Summer 2009

This past week we got to spend a week in Lake Powell. This is one of our very favorite vacations. Our girls look forward to it all year! Boating has always been something that we have done as a family. When the girls were young we played in the sand, then the tub, then water skis, wakeboarding, floating and tanning no matter what age you are boating has something for everyone. We enjoyed being together as a family laughing and catching up. We were even able to bring Lindsay out from Maryland to come with us. It was a Great Week! Here are a few pictures of our week I hope that you enjoy them.

Quote

"Anyone who imagines that bliss is normal is going to spend a lot of time running around shouting that he's been robbed.

The fact is that most putts don't drop, most beef is tough, most children grow up to be just people, most successful marriages require a high degree of mutual toleration, and most jobs are often more dull than otherwise.

Life is like an old-time rail journey... delays, side tracks, smoke, dust, cinders and jolts, interspersed only occasionally by beautiful vistas, and thrilling bursts of speed. The trick is to thank the Lord for letting you have the ride."
