Sick Pumpkin

Hailey's deformed pumpkin wasn't only sad but it
was violently ill.

Sad Pumpkin

Hailey worked at a pumpkin patch for a few hours last
weekend and as payment she was told to pick out any
pumpkin she wanted.
She brought home a misshapen, pathetic thing which couldn't
even stand up on it's own.


I asked her why she picked this pumpkin out of the entire
patch and she told me it looked sad.
Welcome to our home poor thing!!

THE MOAB 2010

A four day weekend, great weather and beautiful scenery
makes Moab a perfect destination in October. For us and
about 100,000 other people. We decided to wing it without
hotel reservations and were perplexed when every hotel
had a NO VACANCY sign. Apparently, this is the 2nd most
popular weekend of the year. Out of sheer determination
Dave found us a fun little place with only a king bed. The
maid brought in a roll-away bed for Hailey, making our
small room just one big huge bed.
During the next three days we enjoyed amazing landscapes
which most tourists travel thousands of miles to see. And
to realize Moab is practically in my backyard makes
me wonder why I don't come here more often.


Hailey is ready to tackle the hike to Delicate Arch

Sooooo worth it!


Landscape Arch is one of those natural wonders which could
fall at any moment.


Nowhere else on earth can you experience such crazy formations.


Of course the Big Sand Mountain was the chosen favorite.


Still, Tanner prefers to be back at the hotel where he
can flip through channels. For him, keeping it simple
is the key to his happiness regardless of how beautiful
the world is.

The Second Decade

It wasn't too hard to make it through those first ten years. The
second decade taught us the lessons of life. We learned that
although the world is a beautiful and wondrous place, it can't
be enjoyed fully without the companionship of a family.
