Leisha's homework assignment to me

Leisha gave me an assignment to make a bulletin board tonight.  Tomorrow I was supposed to find at least three things to put on it, but I did both assignments tonight.  Tomorrow I will have another assignment from her.  She  has to do the same thing.  Leisha:  I used pine green burlap for the fabric, and attached a couple of Hawaiian symbols.  I will probably rearrange the pictures a little bit, but this is it for now. 

More Lake Powell Pictures

Here are a few more of the Lake Powell summer vacation shots.  Those in attendance:  Jeff, Laura, and Jared Long; Jon and Leisha Rohwer; Carol and Ashlyn Morley; and Mike, Lynda, and Madi Kilfoyle.  We had a blast!

Belated Summer Pictures

My friend complained that I haven't updated my blog in ages. So here are ALL of the Lake Powell shots from this summer. I will post a few of these on facebook. People in attendance at this summer's Lake Powell adventure: Jeff, Laura, and Jared Long; Jon and Leisha Rohwer; Mike, Lynda, and Madi Kilfoyle; Carol and Ashlyn Morley. We had a blast!

Waiting for spring...

My daughter, Leisha, wanted me to update my blog. But my life has been boring lately--so, here are pictures of some flowers that Leisha took in the summer of 2007 when she was working for a neighbor getting her garden ready for a wedding. I think lots of these would make good stock photo shots.

And the party continues! New Year's Eve fifth annual 24-hour bash in Huntsville, Utah!

My mom performed a Christmas puppet show with her magical dancing wooden man that she got in Nauvoo, Illinois. The person guffawing in the background is my brother, Matt.
