A Smattering of Recent Photos

Emma on her first day of pre-school. She enjoys learning new things and loves her teacher, Miss Miyomi.

Every once in while we ask Emma: "Why are you so naughty?"

Her response: "Because I'm so cute."

From Asher's "Indiana Jones"-themed birthday a couple of weeks ago. He and his friends watched Crystal Skull and ate popcorn. Then, they dug into this cake. They'll all make great archaeologists some day.



Asher at this past month's pack meeting, reading a short story on which he and his compatriots collaborated. It was pretty funny.


Asher and his friend Cayson getting their Wolf badges at the meeting.


Over Labor Day, the boys and I drove to Great Basin National Park to hike Wheeler Peak and tour the Lehman Caves. I had to beg the boys to go on the cave tour, but once inside, they had a great time.


Eating lunch on the trail to Wheeler Peak.


Wheeler Peak - the high point in the picture - is about 13,000 feet above sea-level. The boys started malfunctioning around 11,500 feet, so we had to turn back. Maybe next year.

Alex and the aspens. Such beautiful trees.


The boys on the first day of school. This is the first year they've had to wear "standard student attire," and, for the most part, they enjoy it. The only customization allowed is shoes. Alex chose camo; Asher skulls.

So cute (and apparently naughty,according to Emma). Anyway, nice pics and love the first day of school and pre-school pictures of all three.

Emma is an adorable pre-schooler! Love the matching purse!
I can't believe Asher's been in scouts for a whole year now! Looks like he's having a great time!
You always take your kids on grand adventures that look like so much fun!
The boys look cute in their uniforms! We haven't gone that way just yet! I'm sure we will someday!

P.S. So glad you're posting again...missed you!
