the graduate

just spent a quick 3 days in salt lake seeing my sister graduate from byu.  she is the 2nd of the five of us to do so.  it was WAY too cold for me and NOT enough sun for me.  i am SO SO glad to be back home, away from mormon country and cold weather.  but i did get to see some dear friends and came home with some great pics!

team sports {round 2}

dash would play sports all year round if he could (SO unlike the 2 children older than him).  unfortunately soccer and baseball season overlap, and he had to choose.  baseball it is.  lucky #9.

i don't think we're in kansas anymore

FINALLY! the 13 year old now has her very own nickname and doesn't have to be referred to by her first initial.  and why it took us so long, we're not quite sure since it's something we've joked about for 9 years.

topeka. she will from here forward be called topeka.  make a note.
