more lake powell

There was an eclipse that night, @ 4am. I was really excited to see it, but went to bed late. so I woke up a few times & each time I looked at the moon. Finally I saw that something was different. So here is the first picture I took, at 4 am, after rolling over to get my camera.

This one is much better. After I got home & was looking through my pictures, I noticed that I had taken about 10 pictures of this. One through the eye of some binoculars- didn't turn out half bad, but this one was better.

Cool looking fish- too bad it was dead.

Rainbow after a nice little shower

Pasta & Grilled carrots

Lake Powel

Morning sunshine!

Pausing for a picture.

This smile looks kinda fake. After so many pictures, what did I expect?

John & Crystal - this picture, upon first glance, it looks like she is wearing a Chiquita banana hat, but really it is JD on a kayak behind her.

Just about everyone we went with, ready to plunge.

EXCLUDING ME- I have a minor water phobia.

Nate & Jen

JD, Natasha, & Jen.

A good place for a nap.

Lake Powel 2010

This arch reminds me of the eye from Lord of the rings.

I started taking pictures of everything pointed out to me, then they all started looking the same. Look, a red rock. Look, a big red rock. Look, a big red rock that looks cool.

This is where we parked the house boat. Fun little place. A few of us (NOT ME) jumped off this fun looking rock. I did swim to the little island rock with my life jacket though.

This is the jumping rock.

Look, a red rock. LOL

Retirement cake

This cake started out from the Wilton Lamb pan.

Add some fondant ears & a tail...

Some fur and a collar...

And my cake looks like a cat. Too bad I was trying to make a dog.

Now fun with making flowers.

I had my Friend Becky come & help shave down my cat so it would look like a dog. Where is Kim when you need her, she would have gotten it right the first time. She is awesome at cake carving.

End product, a chocolate dog cake. Happy retirement Sandy, this was a really fun cake to work on.

Sunshine

Well for a day or 2 so far this year we have had some sunshine, as you can see from the background, this was taken on a day when we got some sun, after a day of rain.

Nothing like BMX'ing on a little girls bike.
Stockton's one handed trick. How do you like the helmet?
Cassidy is trying to ride my bike, which is 13 years old. Guess I didn't tighten the helmet.

I was outside going through some of my cook books, after about 20 mins I went in- it was getting a little warm. Nice tan line ehhh?
