Wow...that sounds old.

Friday we drove up to St. George, Utah for Karl's Dixie High School Class Reunion

The Class of 1969

The year of the Moon Walk, Woodstock and Richard Nixon became President.
You can do the math. Yeah...it's old.

But Karl never has looked or acted his age!

Sleepless in Seattle

On one of our Fridays at Kyle and Kim's, we loaded up the Expedition to capacity and headed to Seattle for some fun.

We picked Kyle up at the Swedish Hospital
and headed to the University district.
(At this point we had Kimberly and Janet in one bucket seat!)

We picked up lunch on The Ave

and headed to the UW Campus to enjoy it. The Campus was beautiful. This kind of Fall weather is something us folks from Las Vegas really miss and those folks from Florida only read about in books.Enjoying carry-out in the middle of Red Square on Campus

There were a few gusts of wind and something painful blew in Chad's eye.
Dr. Tobler at work.

Like father like son...
Charlie was imitating Kyle like a little monkey.

Chad connecting with Joseph.

Off to drop Kyle off so he can head to Madigan for a long night at that hospital.
Then we were off to meet Joseph...
after we do a little browsing at Williams Sonoma!

It was a great day...
even if we were all too tired to go to the ward Halloween party that night :)

Charlie's Birthday Celebration

The preparation...

First sighting...
The Anticipation

The celebration:
The Gifts
The Favorite...Dollar store dart guns
Bulls eye!

Okay, Charlie's birthday was September 11th,
But when you're only 3 years old your parents can pull a fast one... like
not celebrating your birthday until November 1st
and get away with it!

It was a Frightful night...

Oh the creatures that roamed the streets and invaded Kyle and Kim's home Octobler 31st!

There was a scary witch
And a beautiful witch with a bag of jelly beans that turned alot of heads.
I over-heard someone say "If I throw darts at him will I win a prize?"
There was the cutest a little bear
And a dinosaur with a quacky doctor.
Even the Flintstones showed up for the fun
along with Nana & Poppa too. (Kimberly's Parents)
And of course, it didn't take long for our little monsters to catch on to what to do.
Hope you all had a Happy and Haunted Halloween too.

Happy Birthday Clark

Where's Waldo...I mean Clark. He's usually never hard to spot.

He usually stands out in a crowd.He's a man of many talents...
He's always been musical


Use to carrying a heavy load
His art is well recognized

He's a very up front sort of guy.

He usually doesn't miss a thing.

He's always willing to take a hit for the team
And not unacquainted with suffering and pain.

Happy Birthday Clark
Hope your having another really great day!
