The Hoover Dam

We drive through the Hoover Dam quite often during our trips home to Vegas and Utah. While we have a love hate relationship with Hoover, we are simultaneously amazed at the construction process of the new bridge. This bridge has been in the works for 9 years now and is supposedly expected to be finished by the end of next year. We cannot wait to drive over this bridge while not getting stuck at the dam for an hour or more. We love Hoover's new bridge and will be so excited to drive across it. You can check out more pictures at http://www.hooverdambypass.org/Const_PhotoAlbum.htm#Nov2009_Bridge. I am now going to post pictures of the Hoover bridge from each trip we take...and hopefully by next Christmas I can post a picture from the top of this bridge!

NOLA

Last week I went out to New Orleans, LA...more commonly known as Nawlins or NOLA. I went with about 10 other "speechies" who are in my graduate program at ASU. There was a speech and hearing convention, the "ASHA Convention," in NOLA, and we all went to hear the latest and greatest research. While we did spend a lot of time attending lectures, we also got to see a little bit of Southern life in NOLA...

It's raining cats and dogs...

This Halloween was not anything too exciting, and sadly enough there were zero trick or treaters who came to our door. More candy for us to eat I guess! We did make a small effort to dress up and matched with our friends the Lunnys and Jacobs. Maybe next year we will have real costumes. PS....the boys loved wearing these. Happy Halloween!

Gooseberry-Mesa

Kyle went mountain biking with is brother Craig and some good friends that he hasn't seen in awhile. They stayed in St. George and biked two days on a 14 mile trail by Zion's National Park. Here are some pictures from the trip.
