All the other parents were dressed up. Heidi said she didn't care that I wore my grubbies until she saw this photo. I used to have two pair of jeans, one for working and one for going out, but someone took my Ariat work jeans and so now my going out jeans are also my work jeans.

The boys went to prom without dates. We finally got some good weather which brought everyone outside.

January
Heidi took the kids to Yosemite. Scott took the 5d mk1. He got some nice pictures and commented, "You don't get to be in the photos when you're the one taking them.
Scott turned 18 today. He's house sitting, which involves caring for the dog. The dog kept him up all night and the bottom photo is how he felt about it. For is birthday he got some money to tune his car this week.
Blake got the priesthood earlier this month and gave a talk today on the priesthood. He got his hair cut for it and is more serious about behaving well. He was nervous about giving his talk but did great.
And here's our gross pool. We are cleaning it before we refill it.

Early November
Kira, Tyler and Scott went to the temple with the youth group. Scott has been experimenting with the 5d mkiv.
The kids got tons of halloween candy. They organized it and packaged it into baggies. I'm on the couch after leaving work early due to a strained back. I'm reading How to Win Friends and Influence People out loud to everyone.
Tyler has a cooking class at DVC. The objective is to follow a recipe and take pictures of the food. He usually requires a lot of prodding to complete it.
Kira, on the other hand, enjoys working in the kitchen. Here we're making twice baked potatoes. They usually take longer than expected. Hopefully we learn from this
Hanna's into these funny poses like her older siblings do
Signing day at Northgate was a big deal. Six kids signed with colleges and there were individual booths for them. I cut out early for lunch and made it just in time to hear the athletic director announcing Scott's BYU commitment.
With moms. Heidi, Scott, Mason and Tess
With his trainer, Jack
I think this family photo ought to go in the BYU living magazine but whatevs
For my birthday we went to Monterey sans kids. First we hit Granite Expo to finalize our kitchen remodel plans. I didn't care that much whether we chose cream or white cabinets but in the end we chose cream. There was hecka traffic going down so we stopped in Capitola for din din at Chilis. We each got two entrees and took one to go.
We did the 17 mile bike ride again but instead of doing the back half we turned around. We ate our Chilis sandwiches at Lovers Point and then drove to the butterfly sanctuary. I was fascinated that the butterflies return to the same tree each season, when the original butterflies who began the migration died along the path.
It was a good birthday. Okay, bye.
