October Happenings

Had a fun few weekends . . . Carved pumpkins this afternoon with kids, heard Vivian play "Spooky Twinkles" at the Wheeler Farm Fiddle Fest, and both Sam and Vivian got a famous violinist to sign their arms since they didn't have any paper. :)

Look how much it has grown!

Moab, UT

 Had a marvelous time in Moab!  Started the trip with some pool time.

These are the Gemini Bridges.  You walk to the edge and their is a SCARY drop off!!  Had to take a 4 wheel drive car there and then walk to the bridges.

Kids enjoyed this hike which included scaling red-rock walls and walking the river.

Jump Sam!!!!

Sunday Best, minus the one child who was not exactly her "best" at this picture moment. 

Recent Developments

My long-time friends and I have started a little string quartet.  Gigging with these old friends is such fun!  We have a night out without kids and enjoy playing together.  These are some of the shots we took for our website and publicity.

2011 Stewart Luau

Summer Vacation with Stewarts

 I am really behind on posting these!!!  This was our Stewart Family vacation in June.  We had an Olympic Games Theme and each family made a flag.  We had potato sack relay races, zip-line bowling, marshmallow wars . . . and it was fantastic.  The kids had a great time with cousins.
