Lake Powell never lets you down!

We went to Lake Powell last week with some of my family and had a blast. Coleman loved swimming and loved the boat, of course, as well as playing with his fun cousins! It is always fun to see him interact with kids who are older and bigger than him, I wish he had someone older to play with all the time!! We got there a day late and when my family picked us up at the marina, they were bound and determined to get a houseboat because the wind and rain was pretty bad the night before staying in tents. So we ended up staying in a houseboat after all and had a great time! We went cliff jumping, took a boat ride to rainbow bridge, watched the 4th of July fireworks from the Dam in our boat, learned how to wake surf, and David even cleared the wake on the wakeboard doing a 360*! What a great summer trip!

All grown up - Coleman turned 1!!

Since Coleman has always been a little monster, what better theme for his
1st BIRTHDAY

than a Monster Theme!
Apparently Party stores don't carry monster decorations or paper goods
because it isn't popular right now, so we had to make do,
but I still think it turned out okay. Also, it was rainy with thunder and lightening,
so our backyard birthday BBQ turned into a house party...oh well.

We made homemade BBQ Pizza for all the quests, played
Monster bean bag toss, opened presents and ate a bright green monster
cake and homemade ice cream. Thanks to everyone who came
and helped make Coleman's 1st Birthday memorable!
We love all our friends and family who came or sent gifts - THANK YOU!!
























Let's see your BEST
MONSTER FACE!
