Moving Grace home

Charlie reading his original poetry at the school poetry slam.
Alice at Disneyland.
She liked this so much she had it for two different meals - mac'n'cheese in a bread bowl. Yuck!
Computer work with Toby.
Alice and her girl friends at Disneyland.
Saving dinner for Grace when she came home for her friend's farewell.
Bathtime.
Short arms.
She liked the salad and cheesecake!

Poker.

Alice's roommates and chaperone.
Sleepy ride home.
My favorite Sunday dinner.
More poker.
Alice came home!!
Getting the basement all set for Grace to live in it for 5 months.


Danny learning to make dinner.

Good job, Danny!

Grace at her good friend's birthday party up the canyon.


Toby sweeping, trying to earn points for an independent cooking project.
I let him make crystal lite.
He also made an abomination with powdered sugar, and proceeded to wipe his hands all over the family room.


Then he actually read a book to me!

Why is his favorite shirt so huge?
Catching up on homework after her trip.
Charlie had some too.
Our first iris of the season.
Moving Grace out of her dorm.


Lunch at Cafe Rio.


Paul, Charlie, and Danny taking down the defunct play structure.


Practicing stage makeup.





Chilling on a free afternoon.
Play practice with her good friend, Emily.

And Clinton.

Egyptian wig.

Wingspan.


Charlie tilled the garden. We've been tossing leaves and grass clippings in, so hopefully it will be good soil.




Does he look like my son?


He always wants to pretend he's in a cooking competition, then he makes us judge his creations.
Off on his first deacons campout!
Cheesecake Factory takeout for our date. We ate it in the City Creek food court so we didn't have to deal with the noise and crowds in the restaurant.
Then we went on a walk through Miller Bird Refuge.









Charlie learned how to poach eggs this morning.


He also made a Chilean flag out of all the jams he's made recently: blackberry, pineapple, and raspberry.
No play structure, with the lawn all mown and trimmed!
Breaking down the boards.



Telling us about his campout. He fell backwards into the firepit, but one of the leaders got him out before he got burned!
Toby's showing some interest in his old flags and map puzzles.

He ate some starbursts.
Another cooking competition by Toby.


Toby was literally rolling around in the dirt and pouring it on his head. He had a bath and left the tub filthy!
