A post only an engineer would love

The Composite Bridge

Ken proudly holding the finished bridge... made from other people's scraps. Not due to procrastination, no, but because they worked really hard analyzing instead of copying the last year's winner.

Umm, what is this thing?

Various other bridges

Get it on the crusher, just right.

Here dad, let me help.

Bridge post crushing still holds Ryan up.

I can even stand on it!

What the bridge should look like.

The failure... if you want to know specifics I'm sure Jesse can tell you.

The bridge could not handle friend Kevin stomping on it. Now everyone has a part to take home... or throw out.

Graduation Part 2

Engineering Convocation in the Field House

Welcome, you will now be graduating.

Look mom, I'm being good.

Why are we doing this again?

Jesse after receiving his diploma cover.

Okay dad, we watched you get your diploma cover, now lets get some food!

Follow us, we know where the Clyde building is.

Metal! Oh yummy I love zippers. Thanks Grandma.

Graduation Part 1

The first day of graduation. I can not believe that Jesse is done with his undergraduate work. He worked really hard and really earned his degree. I am so proud of him. I love you Jesse!

Jesse before commencement

Okay Katrina, no more pictures. (I have quite a few pictures with this look)

Num num spatula. Hanging out with Grandpa

What is going on in here? Can dad see us yet? (He did acutally see us because of this)

The Marriot Center as the graduates marched in. Note the tunnel is packed and there are only three rows left. The rest got to sit on the bleachers. Jesse was one of the lucky ones that ended up in the bleachers.

President Samuelson welcomes everyone.

Jesse and one of his teachers Dr. Chase

This is my other grandpa.

The Graduate

Hey dad, I like your tie.

Friends Sam and Jeremy

More Easter

Easter for real this time.

Alright mom, I'm ready for conference.

I love the Prophet.

May I please have the biter biscuit? Please?

Why did they put this big plastic bag in here?

Oops...

Mom, these are my real ears. See these ones, right here.

He will pick up the tiniest of crumbs from off his tray.

heeheehee

Easter

Easter isn't until next weekend ( I know), but Conference is next weekend and this last weekend worked so much better to celebrate.

Ward Easter party. Jesse and neighbor Joel. I told Joel to smile and this is how he responded.

The ever present volleyball game.

Mom, it's not that cold. Look at Jared!

I've got you carrot!

Save me Sister Ross.

Mom! Jared's touching me!

This is Ryan's allergic reaction. Still don't know what caused it.

It never bothered him, just me.


Easter FHE activity

Huh? What is this, a new toy?

I will eat it.

Our cups of many colors. And crayons to try and make Ukrainian style Pysanky (haha the computer wants me to auto correct it to swanky, pleasantry, cranky or Polish)

No candles in Wymount... so we melt off the wax with our gas stove-top ;)

One of Jesse's eggs.

Well I decided to rinse this one and then all the dye came off.
Tomorrow I will post the pictures of some eggs that actually turned out well and perhaps we will let people vote on the best ones. But for now I must go because Ryan is pulling the stabilizer off from the underside of the couch and is trying to eat it.
