Becky (Roberts sister) and Mark's Wedding

Robert's sister got married in July. Here are some of the pictures from the wedding.

Recent Trip to Utah

We had a cousins party with the Astle side while we were up in Utah. Here's a small sampling of the pictures we (and Jen) took. Jen went crazy with the camera, so there is a lot more where those came from. If you want to see more, let me know and I'll e-mail them to you or create a slide show.

All the kids shoes.

Checking out the treats!!

Grand Canyon - North Rim

The drive to the Grand Canyon is an hour off the main road at Jacob Lake. On our way home from Bryce Canyon we decided to take a "quick" detour to check it out. One weekend a month during the summer the National Parks are waiving their $25.00 fee. Since we were so close we couldn't pass up the opportunity to show the canyon off to the children. It's a very beautiful drive. It's amazingly green and full of trees.




When we first pulled up to the Canyon it was pouring rain. We decided to catch a bite to eat and see if the weather would cooperate for us. It did and we got some amazing pictures before heading back to the main road. Emilee kept saying "It is so beautiful." I didn't keep track of how many times she said it, but it was a lot.

Bryce Canyon Slide Show

We went to Bryce Canyon last weekend for a family reunion with my Mom's Family. Here are some pictures we took of the view up there.

They Grow Up So Fast

Emilee has a dance recital this Saturday. The studio arranged for a professional photographer to come into the studio to take pictures of the girls in their costumes with their class this past Saturday. We were told how to do their hair and make-up. When Emilee saw herself in the mirror when she was all put together, she decided that she was "beautiful". Here is Emilee, ready to dance...

Easter Pics....Finally

Robert and I flew in from Hawaii early Easter morning. Luckily for us the Harwood's had taken care of all the Easter preparations so the Easter Bunny could do it's thing. The kids had a lot of fun and here are a few of the cute pictures from that day.

Hawaii

Robert and I took a trip to Hawaii without the kids. We have been to both Oahu and Maui. It is so beautiful here. We have spent time on both Waikiki and Ka'anapali beaches. We survived the Road to Hana in Maui and hiked the Manoa Trail in Oahu to see some amazing waterfalls. We visited the USS Arizona at Pearl Harbor and the Punchbowl. We went snorkeling at Hanauma Bay, blown away by Pali lookout, checked out the Dole Plantation, spent a day at the Polynesian Center, and walked the grounds of the Laie Temple. Today we went on a catamaran to go whale watching. The video attached it a sampling of what we saw on the cruise.
