Hafen Family Vacation '08

This was the first day of our family vacation. We decided to spend it at the Hilton Resort in Az., while we were down surprising my sister Kelli on her 40th birthday. We had so much fun!

Mom and Dad's bed seem to be a favorite hang out. No wonder it never looks like I made the it.

Yep, she really is mine I promise. Those Hafen jeans are very dominate.

Maya and her friends.. all babies were born one week after another, and were still missing the last one.
Can you guess who's babies are who's?

...And he looks so innocent here?

Where's Drew? Can you spot him? He is only the cutest kid up there...!

Proud dad after Ella's tumbling performance.

Ella's Kindergarten circus.... "Shake what your momma gave ya." We had no idea she could do this. She gets it all from her mother. Tyler still sports the "sprinkler" when he gets groov'n . :) Still love ya babe.

"I love you too. Now let's go I am late for work." And we can expect to do this again tomorrow.

"Now Drew, you need to just get your things and go to school."
This was typical morning routine at our house.

Load'em up and head'em out.
Grandpa Doug is the official Hafen family bus driver.

This picture totaly explains Ava, she is her mothers child.

Not bad, at least we are all here. Now getting everyone to smile and look at the camera is a another story.

Second attempt... Ella?
Now Ella is missing.
Come on Tyler look enthused
.

First attempt on trying to get a family picture...wait we are missing one. Ava where are you?

It's over!
I am alive and High on life.
It was one of the coolest things I have ever done!

I can't remember what this is called, but everyone knew I was a beginner because of this "tatoo" on my calf. I didn't stand out like a sore thumb or nothing. (never do) Hee, Hee.

Now is when I think I wanted to just DIE!

Still alive and happy.....

YEAH! I did it! Not so bad.....

This is about 3 1/2 hours into it... not so bad!
Actually not bad at all, but..... the "WALL"
(a major hill about 1 1/2 miles long and very, very, very steep. Hurricane hill has nothing on this baby)
is coming up next.
I have been dreading this part for about 3 months now.

This is Elizabeth and I getting ready for our big Century Bike ride (100 miles)...the look on my face should explain it all... "what the H did I get myself into?" (I had to crop out my lower half, the biker shorts are not my favorite attire) :)
