Lake Powell Goodness...

This past weekend the whole Lloyd family went down to Lake Powell again for some fun in the sun.  It was abnormally warm for an October trip--it was 95 degrees most days!  Perfect weather!  We were there from Thursday to Sunday, which was just enough time to relax from the stressful work weeks that Jason and I have been having.  Thank goodness for well-timed vacations!

Even better is that Jason's brother, Brandon, was able to come down to Utah and spend some time with us.  We really miss having him around.  He's currently in Baltimore in a ridiculously hard Oral Surgery program.  Jason and I are really hoping that when he finishes it he ends up close by.  What can we say?  We love having family close!

Beautiful Sunrises!

Relaxation at its Finest...


I think these old trees look awesome.

I tried the stand-ups!

Sharon did too!

Big Pimpin....



In other family news--we have a new niece!  Katelyn Patrice England was born the day we left for Powell.  She was three weeks early and is TINY!  She weighed 3 lbs 9 oz at birth.  So small and so cute!  Shantel had to have an emergency C-section, but it looks like both mom and baby are fine.  Congrats to Greg and Shantel!  She's going to be beautiful. 
So small!
The next big adventure (for me at least) is going up to Spud Harvest.  It's my dad's last year digging--I can't believe it!  I have to go up there and spend some quality time with him.  Also, my Grandpa on my mom's side is moving clear across the country to Texas so we are having a farewell dinner for him.  I can't believe how quickly it all happened once he decided he wanted to move.  It's been less than two weeks and his house and car are sold and he's out the door on Friday.  Wow!
