Jeff & Linda's New Home

Ken's oldest Brother Jeff and his fiance Linda just recently moved to Texas and purchased a new home. As you will see they are having fun decorating it. Recently they experienced their first snow fall, (hope they have some snow boots LOL) looks like a lot of fun. They also both recently just celebrated birthdays with some friends at a local honky tonk. Hopefully we can make a trip out to visit them soon.

Demi Rae

Demi is our one and only niece. She was born on April 4, 1998, to her proud parents Kevin & Tami. She loves spending time with friends and family at Lake Havasu as well as Catalina! Demi is involved in a local children's theater group called Christian Arts Theater or CATS for short. She has appeared in several of their productions including, The Secret Garden, Honk, 101 Dalmatians and just recently in Wind in the Willows. She loves performing and hopefully soon we may even see her on the television. We are very proud of her and love her very much!

Our New Nephew, Miles

Stephanie is Arica's one and only younger sister. Stephanie & Jonathan were married on May 27, 2000. They had their first child on June 23, 2007 (which was his Auntie Arica's 36th birthday, what an awesome birthday present!!), Jonathan Miles Ito Wilson, they call him Miles. As you can see he is the cutest baby boy ever born, not that we are biased!! He has two front lower teeth and is crawling like crazy. He also likes to pull himself up and stand in front of anything that will hold still long enough. He is so precious and we love him very much!!! We look forward to spending lots of time with him and taking him all kinds of fun places!!

A Quick Trip To Calico

Here are a few pictures from a quick day trip to Calico. After a day on the trails Robert, Kevin and myself decided we try our luck on running The Gate Keeper. This is probably the most difficult section in the area. It is located at the entrance to one of the trails we ran earlier in the day which we used the by-pass then. We all removed our doors because we new there was a huge possibility of body damage on this climb. After several minutes of discussions on which is the best and easiest line I volunteered to go first (probably not the smartest idea). This was probably the hardest climb I have ever attempted. I made it 3/4 ways up before I needed assistance via my winch line. Fortunately for Kevin and Robert we discovered the right line real quick. They both were able to make it with out any assistance; I guess it doesn’t pay to go first all the time!!! LOL We can't wait to go back and try our luck again!
