Ring Around the…


Sun! Have you ever seen a rainbow like this? We experienced a circular rainbow while on vacation in Cancun this past week. I haven’t done any research yet…anyone know why, how or when this occurs? It was unbelievably fascinating!!!

Not a bad shot from my little digital camera either, huh? Of course, I was blind for the next few minutes!

Elliot’s Cross-Country Trek


What a great visit with Elliot and friends Joe and Adam! I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time! They were very interested in learning the dynamics of the Fall family…and engaging themselves in every competition we could dream up (from the proper way to speak to pool and air hockey)! I’m so sorry we had to go away on Saturday. I understand Steve and I missed out on a great day in Chicago.

Gary – you should have a blast on Wednesday!

Happy Birthday Shay!! 30 Years of Mickey!


As Shannon’s uncles well know, Shannon received her first Mickey (their Christmas gift to her – a five foot Mickey!) when she was less than 8 months old…and she was hooked. By the time she was two years old, all she wanted was a Mickey Mouse cake for her birthday…every year! To keep the tradition alive, her 30th birthday was no different (although we surprised her with it).

Seven Weeks and Counting!


Here’s a picture of Dawn in Jamaica…we think she’s about 7 or 8 weeks pregnant!

Happy 21st Elliot!!

Elliot – we expect a full report (with pictures) of today’s events. Hope you’re having a great one (although I hear you have classes until 9:30).

Be safe!!

What a Great Night!!!

As you all may know I just recently turned the big two one (A.K.A DRUNK) haha just kidding dad! To celebrate this wonderful occasion my wonderful cousin Shannon came out to celebrate with me and a couple of my friends down at some of the ISU bars. She felt right at home. Basically I’m just posting this to say that not only do I wish all of you could have joined us but also to thank Shannon soooo very much for driving down to celebrate a birthday I’ll never be able to remember.

The Expectant Couple

Future pictures will be monthly updates of Dawn’s growing tummy. Her due date is Oct. 5th (we’re hoping she’ll hold out until Steve’s birthday of Oct. 8th)!

Please refer to us as Grandpa & Grand-mar (and of course Great UncleLar)!

Andrea’s Bachelorette Party!



Saturday night was Andrea’s bachelorette party. I was invited for the dinner and personal shower, then excused myself when the serious partying began! Andrea’s in blue in the center of the first picture. Her sister, Heather, is the blonde in black in the second picture. You’ll never guess what we were watching (and I’ll never tell…family blog!)

More Halloween Moments

Natalie was exactly four and a half that Halloween. As cool as trick or treating was growing up in Chalfont, the block we lived on in SLC was a kid’s dream come true.
60 houses in a 2 block area…all lit up and well stocked with goodies. The kids made a huge haul in under an hour. But Larry ate most of it.
