Lap 1


I just finished the first lap of the "Tyler Challenge" - I've read completely through the standard works since the beginning of the year. The final lap will not include the Old Testament, just the New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price. I will be done before the end of the year. Thanks for the challenge, Tyler. It's more fun when others are doing it with you.

Spring Break

Beckett spent the day with us. We had a ton of fun (as shown in this picture)! He brought his skateboard, and we taught him how to Indo Board.

Lucy is precious!

The Angel game started our Spring Break off right! We thought they won when we left at the top of the 8th inning, but it wasn't to be.

Some of the fun caught on camera.

Our seats were terrific! We were in a secluded little corner looking at left field.

Thanks Mom and Dad! We had a great time.

The Getty Center was our next adventure. This is Natalie's favorite bed.

Tanner helping to show perspective by standing next to this massive painting.

We were lucky to have Grandpa and Grandma Stevenson spend the day with us.

This was the children's first time at the Los Angeles Temple.

It was a quiet, beautiful day at the temple.

Riley's Eagle Project

Riley finished his project, and life has slowed down enough to document it! Maybe you noticed last week I posted a picture. It was a couple years old, with no text. Here's my attempt to do better.

Riley and Trevor loading the wood into Trevor's truck.

All good scouts wear eye protection- and every good scout troop has a leader with a beard.

Beautiful Brooke.

The whole crew cutting the shelves to size.

Gettin' 'er done.

Show me "sand the floor." Mike is filling in for Mr. Miyagi. (Karate Kid)

Look how smooth that wood is!

Alicia is focused.

A bonding moment.

Only one casualty. We checked a week later, and he wasn't playing possum as some suggested.

Safety first.

T.K. was so generous to donate dinner the night of the project.

In the PE closet with the jump ropes.

"Bracketology."

Clark was kind enough to help us out!

Look at how sturdy that shelf is!

The finished project.
