Homecoming

There is nothing quite like Texas high school football.

They take it very seriously.  Homecoming mums are an interesting tradition too.

It has grown from a simple flower to huge ribbon draped display.

The Olympics

For many years we have celebrated the Olympics by

having meals from different countries. These pictures were taken on Mexico night.

Also memorable this year was fish & chips with trifle because the Olympics were held in London.

It is a fun family tradition.

Hiking in Arches National Park
July 2013

Then we spent the afternoon on the Colorado River.  

We had a fabulous time and will always remember getting caught on a rock.  

Our guide fell off and Kip navigated us off the rock.  Great memory.

Chris and Don

In June our friends Chris and Don came to visit. It was a really fun week.

Chris is my good friend from Illinois.   Don and Kip were friends in high school

and sang in the same choir. Chris and Don met on an online dating site 

and they are planning to get married in spring 2013.

We are so very happy for them!

Hike the Y

One of the speakers at graduation asked all the graduates to

stand up if they had ever hiked the Y.  We realized that none of

us had done that.  It was a great hike and we arrived at the top

just as the sun set and then they turned on the lights.

A great memory.

Puppets

Quinn had an assignment to make a puppet for his dramatic arts class at school.

Here are the finger puppets we created.

They were lots of fun to make and use.

Garage Project

There was no storage or work space in the garage.

All winter we kept thinking we wanted to do something about it,

so here is our almost finished garage project.
