Cascade Springs South Fork Trail Teachers' Ride

I love Utah. You can have so much fun in your own backyard. The weather was nippy, but we were sweating minutes into the ride. These teachers were amazing. Most of them hadn't ridden single track, and Trevor had road tires. The track was damp with slippery leaves and hidden roots. It was fun. I especially like the roller coaster ride near the bottom, farthest East portion of the ride.

Hey, I inadvertently missed Bob & Ayn's graduation photo in the previous slideshow. So, here ya goooooo.

Oldest & Youngest Graduate

Daniel's Kindergarten Graduation

What a handsome boy! WOW, my youngest and my oldest are graduating this week. I'm feeling my age--it feels good!

Ayn graduates from high school this coming week. She has been in southern California with Jennifer Jolley and her family this past week. So, now she can't say she graduated from H.S. without going to Disneyland.

Chicken at the Window

Zena, the jungle chicken, wants to come in. "No way!"

I've Got a Prom Hangover

WOWWIE, WOW, WOW. I'm tired. A self-administered afternoon nap has helped me recover somewhat from Ayn's prom. It was fun to sew her dress/petticoat and clutch; plus, Jake's cravate. I think taking photos was the most fun.

This group of youth are amazing. They are handsome and beautiful Saturday for prom and then they are bearing their testimonies the next day in Sacrament meeting. Now, how many kids in the USA are doing that after prom night?

Happy Birthday to Bob

Old blue eyes is 45. Handsome as ever.

Shan's State Report on Kentucky

Shan is such the lover of horses. Enough that she chose Kentucky (all those beautiful horses) for her state report.

Ayn's Mozart Recital March 2009

What is IT? Geometry, Physics, Art?

Chef Karen was cutting some cold (real)butter and I noticed this terrific circular pattern on the butcher knife blade. Hey, I cut downwards, and a little push forwards, and voile, a circle. Weird:)

Well, the First Half

Runningboard Worm

Runningboard Worm

How did he and she get up there? I don't think it was the bottom of my shoe, unless he/she sloshed around a bit. I wish I had that kind of vertical jumping ability.

Here's an example of the girls' work with the tablet.

Yes!

Mark has decided to join the PG JrH Lacrosse team. I think he'll be great. He and Brad have alreadly begun to practice together--brotherly love, yes.

Brad is one of the goalies for PG Lacrosse. FUN FUN FUN. No, really!

I love this altered photo of Aynie by Jacob. Thanks, Jake!

Gotta love Adobe Photoshop. Thanks for the use of your tablet too, Jacob.
