3rd Day of Spring Break

Third day of spring break....we were going to clean some more in the morning.....

Instead I got a call from the dermatologist. The office does NOT leave me feeling very confident; yet I know eventually we will get the prescription we are after. I had to go out to their office to help them clear up some paper work.

Then to the grocery store. Tilapia, rice and corn for dinner. It was all gobbled up. Glad they like fish.

Out of the options I gave, they decided we should clean up the pool area. It looks pretty close to great. We got a lot done.

Then we (Kylie, Griffin and I) went on a famous car adventure. We were looking for a 15 year old pig that lives in Sierra Madre and a 2 acre Wisteria bush. We eventually found them both and felt glad at our persistence.

Zak spent 6 hours at "track" today. 4 1/2 of those were spent doing slave labor....or you could read "volunteering".

I talked to Candice about Oprah and the Biggest Loser. I enjoy discussing TV. Oh, yes, and baby Teo is doing well as is Candice and Gil and Tanner.

I must learn how to change the number of the pixels of my pictures from whatever they are to 700. Not sure how to do that. Got a clue?

Have any of you out there read the Edgar Sawtelle book?

Loose Teeth!

Griffin has TWO loose teeth. They are freaking him out a little.
They are the bottom ones....makes it a bit hard to eat. I told him it was normal.

Happy Birthday, Chase!

Happy 20th Birthday to a hard working missionary!
(This is Chase pointing out the waterline in a Galveston home. He has helped with the clean up there.)
We will enjoy "watching conference with you" today. We will all be doing the same thing in Arcadia, Provo and somewhere in Texas.

We love you!

It's Time!


Baby day for Candice & Teo!
I'll keep you posted.
My guess of the time of birth will be between 12:30 and 1:30pm.

New home Chicago: Broncos ship disgruntled QB Cutler to Bears

NFL.com Wire Reports

The Denver Broncos have agreed to trade disgruntled quarterback Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears.

Jay Cutler, QB
Denver Broncos

2008 Statistics
Passer Rating: 86.0
Passing Yards: 4,526
TDs/INTs: 25/18

The Broncos announced the deal Thursday and said terms would be disclosed later.

NFL.com's Steve Wyche reports that the Broncos will receive first-round draft picks this year and in 2010, a third-round pick (84th overall) this year and quarterback Kyle Orton in exchange for Cutler and a 2009 fifth-round selection.

The Broncos were trading Cutler on his terms, and there was no shortage of teams lining up to take a crack at acquiring the 25-year-old Pro Bowl passer.

Cutler had asked for a trade last month after his relationship with new coach Josh McDaniels soured. Their relationship began to disintegrate when McDaniels broached a potential trade of Cutler for Matt Cassel earlier this offseason

I don't know if I should be happy or sad

Photo Essay on Pinch Pots

I have made many pinch pots over the years of teaching this lesson to Kindergarteners! I brought home 3 more today. Here are a few, and how I am using them:

My Q-tips
Griffin's pot he just made!











I keep my big paper clips in this one:











I don't keep anything in this one.
It is lovely though.










Here are the 3 newest to the collection:

Here is the Free Gift Part:
If you feel that you could use one of these pots and will give
it a good home, then you may have it. Only the ones that I
am NOT currently using. Let me know if you want one!

























Towards the End of Semester

This semester has been quite a bit more busy than I ever thought it would be. But there's about a week and a half left and I think I will pass all my classes with flying colors. I am really enjoying my masters program. I have gotten to the point now where I try to tell all my friends some of the cool stuff I'm learning in my classes, but sometimes it is just too high level to understand.

I have an encryption & compression class where I have learned a lot about making things secret and small. I had to make a movie with the Motion Picture Studio for another class. I've started my masters thesis and managed to get paid to do it. But I think my favorite class has been my computer forensics class. We basically get a computer, figure out how it has been hacked, and find any bad files that may be on there. Did you know that when you delete a file, most of the time it isn't really gone?

Because I am going to finish my thesis and graduate someday, I've tried to start getting some interviews. I have an interview with Microsoft later today (hence the picture).

And there is my update.


We all have wigs. Can you guess who Brigham Young and Joseph Smith are? You've seen Brigham Young in movies before. The other Joseph Smith was busy I guess that day.

This is Just Wrong!

I don't know who this was, but I enjoyed taking his picture so I could mock him on the blog.
You just can't wear those socks with those shoes. He must not be gay, nor does he have a wife, or she was trying to get back at him for something.

Kylie's Robot!

Kylie has been studying Robotics in School. Today her class put on a presentation of what their robots can do. Students are paired up. They were given an assignment for their robot.

Kylie is working with a friend, Anna. They had to program their robot to follow the black line. The video is only 35 seconds. You can handle that!
