Canoeing campout at Canyon Lake

Austin Texas, O'Donnells

We had a great visit with the O'Donnell family in Austin, TX. Kara got to waterski and kneeboard for the first time. Tyler refined his wakeboarding skills. A great three-day weekend that went too fast! Click on the picture below, nice action shot.

Grandpa Cordon's Birthday

We all got together in July for Grandpa Cordon's Birthday. If you can't read the cake, it says,"70, the new 60!"

Trevor tried out markers on his face!

Education Week 2009

Once again, we had a great time at Education Week at BYU. The Julians, Schades, and Cordons (x 2) all enjoyed themselves.

The last night we were in Utah, we stayed at the Hotel Park City. This is the view from the room, I don't think Jennifer wanted to leave.

California Take 2

With only a few days before school starting, we headed back to California to get out of the Phoenix heat.

Palmyra, NY and Boston, MA

From Buffalo, we took a short drive for a two-day trip to Palmrya to see the pagaent and visit church history sites. (Above: The Sacred Grove, Below: Pagaent in background)

Nolan had to fly back to Phoenix for work, but Greg & Sandy were kind enough to drive Jennifer and the kids to Boston. They were able to see many historical sites and visit with the Smith family, whose daughter was Jennifer's best friend in high school. Heather Smith passed away on 9/11/01 on Flight 11.

Above: Trevor got to navigate the "Duck Tour". Below: Trevor so exhausted he fell asleep across Jennifer's lap.

Buffalo, NY Trip

In early July, we were off to see the Rusins in Buffalo, NY. These pictures were all taken at Niagra Falls.
