Maddison



Today I'm just posting pics and a short clip of our little blue eyed wonder. She and grandpa got along quite well. She's a real flirt too.

New Jersey Trip





Sarah and I went to New Jersey for a week. We had a great time with Ruth and her family. We did so many things I can't put them all in this one post. One of the first things we did was to attend the Memorial Day parade in Dumont, NJ. Joseph played with his school band but I didn't get any good video of that. The kids played whiffle ball and other games. I showed them how to make marshmallow shooters with PVC pipe. They thought that was great. Keep watching this week and I post more.

March Madness

March is a crazy month for us. We have five birthdays in a six day time frame. Last weekend Sarah and I drove to Logan to celebrate three of the birthdays together. The pictures posted here show Sarah or I interacting with grandchildren. At the party Aaron let me hold him for the first time.

I think it had more to do with my mustache. After he'd run his fingers through it and tugged at it a bit he'd had enough and wanted down.



Sarah had some fun time with Claire while celebrating her birthday.


One night recently Evinn was climbing the stairs. She wanted me to hold her so we took a rest half way up.

Harlem Globetrotters


A few weeks ago I was getting dressed for work when I heard Sarah say, "Oh darn!" I asked what the problem was. She had been trying to dial a TV station to win tickets to the Harlem Globetrotters. Obviously she hadn't won. I was surprised that she was even interested. I've lived with her nearly 39 years and didn't know this was something she really wanted to do. So I got online and got a couple of tickets for the event.

We went out for a date last night and had a blast! After the game Sarah got her jersey signed by "Big Easy" who is now the team clown. He plays the role that Meadowlark Lemon played for so many years when I was a kid.

Walking With the Dinosaurs



Okay, I'm a few weeks late getting this one posted. In mid January I took three of my grandsons to Salt Lake City to see the production of Walking With the Dinosaurs. We had lots of fun although the boys weren't quite the brave dinosaurs hunters they claimed to be. I had trouble getting good pics in the arena but the one I'm posting shows the relative size between the man in the upper left and the stegasaurus. There were some dinosaurs that were 35 ft. high. What an experience. I'm sure the boys will remember it for quite some time. I know I will!

Christmas Vacation





We had a great time over the Christmas holidays. We spent Christmas with Sally and her family in Logan. I took my camera with us but only managed to snap one photo of Kevin enjoying his presents.






After a day or two of rest we traveled to Oregon to be with Janet and her family. We had a great time. Levi was baptized while we were there. I managed to snap a great shot of 4 generations of Tse njikinii clan members. The Navajo people are matrilineal so it was great to have a shot of them together.








Grandma Salabiye wanted a photo with Janet's family just as we were leaving so I shot one for her.

Thanksgiving




We had a great Thanksgiving. We stayed at home this year. Sally and her family came to join us. Holly and her family stopped by on their way back to Reno. I managed to get a few good shots of everyone.

We're Finally on the Web!

Okay, I'm learning a lot trying to get this up and running. I may have to call some of my kids to learn how to do things the right way. Just be happy that I'm getting it done.

In February Ron was recognized as one of ten superintendents nationally to receive the Tech Savvy Superintendent Award. We traveled to Tampa, Florida for the event.

On the way to the award presentation Sarah and I decided to walk part of the way. We walked by a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the town square.

That evening I had a surprise for Sarah. Since we were in the air on Valentine's Day I took her on a dinner cruise the next night. One of the pictures shows the two of us on the boat.
