Happy Halloween

The kids carved pumpkins on Thursday night and did an awesome job!!

Megan did the "dolphin wearing a witches hat eating a jelly fish"

Matt did the "throwing up pumpkin"  and

Marissa's just looks scared because it got too close to Matt's pumpkin.

Hope everyone had a safe and Happy Halloween...  

Arches National Park - Day Two

After our little side trip to Four Corners, we headed back to Arches and hiked up to "Delicate Arch."  It was a fun hike and the views where fabulous.

On the way out we stopped at other view points and took lots and lots of pictures, click here to enjoy them!

Four Corners National Monument

We started day two out with a trip farther south to Four Corners National Monument.  This is the only place in the U.S. where 4 states meet:  AZ, NM, UT, and CO.  

Well all I can say is: "now I can say I've been there."  "Hi Mom!"

Arches National Park - Day One

The Lewis family took a trip down to Arches National Park outside of Moab, Utah.  This is day one.  We took the 7.2 mile hike which started at "landscape arch" and took us to "private arch" "double O arch" "wall arch" (which is the arch that collapsed) past lots of "fins" and back to "landscape arch"  It was a lot of climbing and some scary moments for momma, but we had a great time.

First Park City Snow of 2008 - 2009

It may not seem like much, but we got our first snow for the 2008 - 2009 winter season.  It started yesterday morning and by afternoon most of it melted from the lower areas, but it started up again this morning and left the mountains covered in a foggy snow.  I hope we get a little less than the 500+ inches we got last year.  (The last time it snowed was 4 months ago on June 11th.)

Megan's 18th Birthday Celebration!

Megan celebrated her 18th birthday on October 10th.  Clay was out of town so we celebrated it with her on the 11th.  We went to our usual birthday hang out "Outback Steak House"  I'd like to say Megan goes for the steaks, but she's been a "non-meat eater" since the 6th grade, Megan goes to Outback for the bread!  She had 2 loafs that night, the rest of the family split one loaf.  Here's to many more loafs and many more Happy Birthdays!!

2008 Army Ten Miler

TEAM MASON runs the Army 10-Miler for the second year! 

Yes we did it.  Congratulations to all!  Kendall ran the fasted time this year!  She's really been working out - you go girl!!  Jen and I came in 2nd, great running for to "old" retired Army bums who haven't been working out!!!.  Great job to Mom and Dad for going the distance.  Congrats to Jackie on her virgin run!!  And a special "shout-out" to my sister Kim, it was a tough summer, but she ran her butt off and made the distance!  Can't wait to next year, maybe I'll be able to get my nephew Josh to run since I can't get Tim or Suzette to run (Josh is at Marine Boot Camp and is going to be stationed in Washington D.C. with the U.S. Marine Corps Band so I'm sure he'll be thrilled to run the Army race with us, but you won't find me at the Marine Marathon any time soon....)

Before  After
 No Clay did not run, he didn't even stay and take pictures, he rode 100 miles on his bike the day before and sleep in the car during the race
 A very healthy lunch after the race!!
