Our New House!

So glad to be done! We've been in for almost 4 months and all settled. I don't have a picture of the front completely done, but you can get the idea.

Aloha! I decided to post for my parents, because I know that if I don't, It would never happen. They spent the first 3 days on Oahu, and the rest on Maui. I'm glad they had a ton of fun, but I'm still really jealous that they didn't take us. (When we tell Mom that, she says "Well when you're 52, I mean 41, and you haven't been to hawaii, you come and tell us that again.)

Welcome to Hawaii! Our 20th Anniversary

Good things come to those who wait! Bruce has spent 6 months planning this special celebration for us. We left Salt Lake City airport on Sat, 12/3/11 with the weather in the low 20 degrees. After a snowy layover in Denver, we arrived in balmy Honolulu 78 degrees and were greeted with lovely leis that smell so good!

Halloween: by Emily

This year was my last Halloween trick or treating!(sniff)I was a witch, Jacob was a mad scientist, and my friend Emylee was Flo. (She looks just like her!) It was really fun.

Halloween Guitar Concert: by Emily

On Friday night Jacob had his annual Halloween guitar concert. It was fun to hear all the students play their pieces. "Jacob-lantern" did great! Don't you love the green hair?

Family golfing: by Emily

Today we went golfing at the driving range for the first time! It was really fun, and a great experience. It took us a while to get used to it, but after about 30 minutes, we got pretty good! Dad could hit it 700 ft. down the field!

Chemistry magic show: by Emily

This evening we Went to a chemistry show at BYU. The professor in charge was hilarious, and wasn't afraid to blow things up. There were flashing lights, explosions, color changing chemicals and lots of lethal substances; therefore, it was awesome. (Especially for the boys.) In my opinion, the best part was the exploding Y made out of balloons.
