#1 in the middle of the night mark got a washable marker and drew moustaches on all the kids. in the morning i drew one on myself. as i played our wake-up song i could barely keep from laughing as the kids came out one by one. once we started reading scriptures they started waking up more and started noticing the moustaches on all of us. it was pretty hilarious and the hardest i've laughed in a long time. object lesson: if we aren't careful and watching our actions, satan can sneak in and before we know it we are tainted by his mark. they loved it!
#2 megan was trying her best to clean the kitchen all by herself. We rus
hed out the door and when i got back from the school drop off there was water and bubbles ALL over the kitchen floor and under the fridge and stove. megan now knows the difference between dishwasher detergent and dishwashing liquid.
#3 mark has been out of town this week. he said he was coming home today at 1pm. last night when he called me to check in i was already asleep. i was pretty groggy but still woke up enough to chat. the next thing i hear is a huge crash in the front room and foot steps running down the hall toward my bedroom. i was starting to freak out!! then mark burst in the room. he had finished up just in time to make the last flight back and surprised me by getting home early. (surprised?? more like scared the toots out of me!)

It tasted much better than it looked!
My grandpa's funeral was last weekend.
It was a such a nice service to remember him and a time when I got to see all my brothers and sister. I made everyone stand in order of age in this photo .... John, Seth, me, Laur, Trev and Eric.
My fondest memory of Grandpa, aside from his sense of humor and way of making people laugh, was of his never-ending temple service. When I think of the temple, I think of grandma and grandpa. I was able to receive my own endowment at the St. George Temple with them back in 1996. Megan took this photo and as you can see I am mostly cut out--just a little black side note. I like to think of it as her having her whole eye focused on what really matters; The Temple.
This was a rose I found on the temple grounds.
Jen rules! We had a great time cruizing China town, The Ferry Building, and eating at some awesome restaurants. This is from her office building balcony overlooking the Bay Bridge. It was breathtaking.
We did some hiking nearby. I always love these shots of the trees up into the Heavens. 
This was my favorite exhibit at the art museum. This is a closeup so it sort of loses the whole effect but basically it shows each "person" with writing on them showing what is affecting them at the time and how everyone is interelated and has an effect on each other.
The sunset was amazing. It was all foggy except for where the sun was setting. Everyone in the restaurant was over by our seat enjoying the view.
I love you Mark!!
