Katie and Sam in Mexico!









YELLOWSTONE!


Mike, Sophie and I headed out on a road trip to Yellowstone over the UEA break.  We had a great time- we drove through a herd of Bison, saw Elk all along the road and just loved the beautiful fall....

Mike and Judi climb the Grand Canyon- rim to rim!

Led by our fearless friends with whom we have shared many "near death" experiences, we defy the signs that warn against rim to rim in one day (too much death) and head out.  The day starts with a huge storm, snow and 100% chance of precipitation - but we laugh in the face of danger and take off at sunrise!







Phantom Ranch- our only stop in 24 miles!!! We love our good friends: Swensons, Tingey's and Mendenhalls- but I think they tried to kill us!!!

Sophie and her crazy friends!

One thing you can say about Soph is that she has a zillion friends.  She's funny and crazy and when she's around there's nothing but fun!


Here's Sophie with about 8 boys and a couple of girls dressed up in gear from our costume box, runnin' around the neighborhood doing a scavenger hunt.  Note Sophie (Batman) in the stroller with 3 boys in princess outfits behind her....
Here's Soph with her best friend "Max" (he's the furry one) trying to learn to swim up at Dog Lake
Up at Dog Lake with Emily... Soph's been mad at her for getting married and living with Thayne, but I think they're still best buds...

Sophie has decided she kinda likes her new brother Thayne....


James Art Show in Harrison Fine Arts


James displayed some of his amazing art for a personal showing that will last 3 weeks in the Harrison Fine Arts building on BYU campus.  He showed the full range of skills used in the animation process.  He had fine art (paintings of delicate arch at 4 different times of day) incredible pencil full body portraiture of three people, successive real life drawings of an athlete jumping, personal expressions studies, taking his drawings of a monkey from the zoo, combining it will his drawings of monks and making an animated character that should be in Kung Foo Panda, story boards,  a 3D sculpture of a character so that it can be rendered on the computer for animation...and finally he animated a drawing of his sister Katie from a pencil sketch.... We don't know where he gets it, but we know he's GOT it!  We couldn't be prouder of his amazing talent and strong work ethic.  Way to go James!!!
