Wordless Wednesday: First Day of Fifth Grade
First day of 5th grade – 1990 and 2011 – Turquoise shirt and hot pink backpack Like mother, like daughter?
Tulips, Pansies, and Rosie
Could anything be more delightful than spending a beautiful spring evening with my lovely daughter Rosie? Can’t think of anything at the moment.
The Graduate: Aviation Professional Pilot
After years of effort, three schools, several majors, student loans, and the blasted algebra class that would never end….Taylor did it! He graduated from Utah Valley University’s Global Aviation Program. He achieved the much-desired Bachelor of Science degree, Aviation Professional Pilot. It was a little strange to be on UVU’s campus, as Taylor’s program was […]
The Hottest Couple, This Side of the Wasatch Fault
