Just TWO more reasons why I LOVE LAKE POWELL!!!

For UEA weekend we headed down to St. George for some rest and relaxation. On Friday we drove to Lake Powell for the first time in ELEVEN YEARS!!! (I was prego with Madison the last time we went!!!) It was more beautiful than I remembered, and it will now have two more special memories attached to the long list it already holds!!! It is where both Madison and Kyle both learned how to WATER SKI!!! Yep, right in front of Gun Sight in Padre Bay, This is where the magic happened.

First Kyle Popped Up!!!

Not to be shone up by her baby brother, very shortly after Kyle skied Madi Popped up

This day I will always remember.

I'm not sure who was more excited, the kiddo's or the spec taters!!!

Just a few more reasons for the LOVE!!!

Can't Wait to go back next year!!!

Jedi Training!!!

For Kyle's 8th Birthday Party this year he wanted a Star Wars theme, so... We invited some of his friends over to participate in Jedi Training!!! When they arrived they were each given the proper Jedi Attire, a Jedi robe!!!

We used the force to help us pin the light saber on the Jedi!!! The force is strong in this one!!!

We played JEDI BINGO and then black out!

*J* was the first to get bingo and Kyle was the first to get blackout!!!

We each made our own galactic pizza and drank Yoda Soda (7up and lime sherbet blended up together)!!!

Cup cakes are just way too easy, so we made them line up to make a light saber!!!
We had to issue each Jedi in training a light saber, so they chose the color (duct tape in different colors so we could tell them apart) and went through some rigorous Jedi training (keeping a balloon up in the air with their light saber, dodging balloons being thrown at then, rolling through an obstacle course with light saber in hand, very tricky stuff to do while carrying a weapon that will melt your limbs off if it touches you!!!) Then they were met by Darth Vader out in the front yard!!!

My young padawan's did very well, but a few crossed over to the dark side!!! Only for a little while though, then they were back and stronger in the force than ever!!!
Madi had to use the force to get the black frosting off her teeth so she wouldn't forever get stuck looking like this AAAAHHH!!!
All of my young padawans graduated and are now true Jedi Masters. A fun time was had by all and they are off to save the galaxy!!! May the force be with you!!!

Just call Me Al!

Jeff has told me MANY times that he LOVES when I do my hair curly (I have freaky naturally curls). I ALWAYS have a complex, because Well... does any one else see the resemblance?

I KNOW, I KNOW, Scary right? If I could sing it would be freaky, I could be his double!!!

Just Call Me Al, (or maybe just Weird HA HA!!!)
