We spent a lot longer in Washington this year. It was wonderful because we got to see people.

The P family. Our little boys are only a few weeks apart. Angela and I spent many a stroller walk together in Provo. I miss having her so close by.

What a graduate program will do to you.

I think I can make it, mom.

We were suppose to go bowling with the P family, but the lanes were closed for league. So we went to the little bowling alley by my mom's house. Nothing like hand scoring and black lights :) Ryan loves crash'a booms!
The next day we had breakfast with my dad.

Some one got her wisdom removed, but she's okay.

She still had the ability to stack coffee creamer.

I'm just looking cute as can be. Oh those cheeks! I love them!

He refused to eat the pancake because it looked like a bear. Luckily, the sausage did not look like a pig.

Can we say too much food? No on told me the pancakes would be as big as my head and that there would be four of them.
Then we made fruit cake. Well really nut and fruit with a small smattering of cake.

Were you going to use this for something?

It's a what? A Brazil Nut. Observe the technology-generation gap.

Chop, chop!

Yum! It's good, really. It's not dry at all. And is mostly stuff and very little batter.
