When we were in Idaho this summer, cleaning out dad's stuff, I found some pictures that I didn't have copies of. This is one. I love this picture...everything about it. Look at the smiles on Todd and Amy's faces...Amy's curly hair and her dirty face. Todd always looked like he was up to no good. And, maybe best of all, the wallpaper surrounding the tub. It was a metallic wallpaper, chosen because the flowers matched the peach of the tub. As Kathy would say, classic.

Monday's Memory--From Ducks to Swans
During Amy's senior year, her ballet studio decided to perform some excerpts from Swan Lake.
One of the dances they chose was the "Four Swans". Amy and her best ballet buddies were chosen to perform it and they spent countless hours learning this very difficult dance.
Just before the performance, their teacher, Terri Sellars, had a graduation party for them, explaining that they had graduated from four "ugly" ducks to four beautiful swans. It was very fun.
Laura, Amy, Samantha, and Archie. The entire dance is performed in this tight formation...very fast, and very exact.
Several years later, one of the girls, Laura Clayton, got married, and during the reception, unbeknownst to the girls, they started to play the music and asked the girls to come forward. They kicked off their shoes, assumed the position, and danced! It was amazing...four best ballet buds, one in a wedding dress. I'm not sure there was a dry eye in the crowd...I know mine weren't.

Sophie Bug
Not be be left out, Sophie had her first day of preschool the same day as Claire's first day of kindergarten. It was actually an open house, so Kathy and I took her and got to meet her teacher and see what she was going to be doing this year. It's a great school and Sophie is going to love it.
At the end, she got a big "bear hug" as she was leaving. What fun!
Chaire's Big Day
Claire's first day of kindergarten was Tuesday. I've never seen her so excited before. She didn't start
until noon, so we played at home all morning, then took a bath and got ready. She was one happy girl. I can't believe how big she has gotten.
Pool Fun
Luke's Birthday
I flew up to Utah this past weekend and was able to be there for Luke's 7th birthday. We went to the Lindon pool for some fun and then on to Mimi's for a delicious dinner. Happy birthday Luke. It was wonderful to be with you on your special day.
