InFebruary I was nominated for the KSL Teacher Feature. and last week we went to LaCaille, a fancy restaurant in Salt Lake City. It was very nice, the food was good, and the governor spoke. We schmoozed with people and had a great time. The restaurant was ritzy, and we still get to go once more, probably this summer. I have heard it's very expensive!

Saturday Debby and I went to our first ever dance recital as grandma and grandpa. Malia was a clown (see picture), a cow girl, Minnie Mouse, took a bath in a bucket and other stuff. It was very entertaining. After the recital, she got to choose a place for lunch so we went to Dairy Queen because they have hot dogs (she doesn't like hamburgers).

Malia and Haylee

Here you see the two oldest grandchildren. This is an old picture, but it gives you some idea of how cute they are!

Deb and I are now empty-nesters. Kelly, our oldest, is living in Salt Lake City and has a nearly-five-year-old named Malia. Malia is excited to go to kindergarten next fall.

Kristen is married to Rob and they have a nearly-three-year-old named Haylee. She is the singer in the family right now. She knows all the primary songs and sings them at the top of her lungs. Kristen and Rob live just two doors north of us.

J.C. and his wife Carin are living in Texarkana, Arkansas while he goes to school. They have a little boy, Zenock, who just had his first birthday. It goes without saying that we miss them a lot.

Kami and her husband Chris live a few blocks from us and they have an 8 1/2-month old named Hannah. She is just learning to pull herself up to the furniture. Their fun is just beginning!

This is a big experiment. Anyone who knows me knows I have a lot to say, and this seems like a good way to let lots of people know what's going on in our family. Besides, I like to take pictures and now I have a place to post them.

I'll work on this and after a while, hopefully it will be worth looking at. Stayed Tuned.
