Signs of Getting Old...

Every now and then things happen in your life that tell you you are getting older. This week I had two of those things. Celeste turned 30 (I have a daughter that's 30?), and I scheduled my colonoscopy. Exciting huh?

First, Celeste. We had everyone over for dinner on Wednesday. It was great! Tiona even called so all the family got to sing Happy Birthday to Celeste together. It's so fun having everybody over for dinner! And the girls don't mind coming because they don't have to cook!

Second, that 'c' word. Mallory had fun choosing my jell-o flavors for my 'special diet'. Unfortunately she'll be at band camp when I get to eat my jell-o, so she can't steal any. Anyhow it will be an eventful event!

Getting old is really not all that fun!

Welcome to our new blog. Brynn thinks we need to get somewhere in the 21st century, so I guess this is it.

In early July we went to Yellowstone all by ourselves and had a great time. We saw bears, and wolves, and moose and everything else it was great. Monica had bought me a new lens for the camera, so we had some great shots and some shots that definitely showed that we needed experience with the camera. You can see a great shot a a wolf that Monica shot while hanging out the side of the suburban. They were really close.



Last week we took Mallory and Brynn to BYU Idaho for there education week. It was wonderful to participate in classes on everything from the history of the Middle East to the Joseph Smith papers to Isaiah. We all were fed. It was also great to just get out of town with the kids.
