THE WITCH IS DEAD!

Finally, I finished my thesis writing and defense and I am essentially graduated. I have a few grammatical changes and have to pay my tuition for the fall semester...i hope I don't forget that. Steph and baby Noah were able to come up and it was so awesome to get to visit with them.

Why is it that when you are under pressure you can't think of things that you know? One of my committe members asked me what polarized light is. I taught this in my IPC classes last year. I lived through the invention of "polarized sun glasses". Do you think I could think of it when she asked. Of course not.

Oh well, I finished. I will not go down as the most brilliant graduate, but possibly the most persistent. At least I'm good at something.

Poor use of the english language!

I realized this morning when I looked at my blog, that last night, I actually wrote...."mom made these pictures." I say it all the time but since it's been pointed out to me, I try not to put it in print. I do realize that my mother did not "make" these pictures and she did in fact "take" these pictures. What can I say? It's all in your "raising". I noticed on our vacation together that my mother says the same thing. I'm going to blame that one on her. :)

What's more beautiful than a baby in white?

Just a few more pics of Noah's blessing. Mom made these.




Proud dad with Noah! Look how cute Heath and Liz are!

Thanks Sondra and Cason for coming! Isn't Cason about the cutest thing you've ever seen?
I don't think there is anyone that loves little babies more than Nana! Steph looks pretty darn good I think for a brand new mommy!

SUMMER CANNOT BE OVER!!!

Ok, so I know I get more vacation than most people, but I still can't believe how fast summer goes by. One GREAT thing....I turned in my thesis....now all I have to do is present it and defend. I say that like it is going to be an easy thing and it definately will not be. That is the way I am going to think of it "in my mind". :)

I got to go on a road trip with my parents and my neice and nephew. We had a great time. We got to see Heath and Liz and spent a little time at my dad's old stomping grounds. It was one of the prettiest places. It was the middle of July and when you stepped out of the car it smelled like a flower shop. Awesome!





We camped at wolf creek. Who knew that me and mom and rex could put a tent up by ourselves?
It got pretty warm during the day but there were still spots of snow!


Heath and Liz were able to come out and spend Saturday with us! We went for a hike and played a really fun game...Kuub...wrong spelling...still a fun game.







This is heart lake....not too hard to figure out why.


Then, we spent a couple of days with Heath and Liz. Liz was our tour guide...much thanks Liz! If you are ever in Salt Lake, you have to eat at Crown Burger! Yummy!

Did I mention that I cannot believe summer is over!
