The dog got a haircut and was totally traumatized. He will bite us, but never Chelsey. They are completely connected.

He is so silky now he feels like a webkinz or something!

Why do they always leave swishy tails?

I am completely in love with this animal. People who know me can't believe I have changed my tune about having a dog. I am not, however, in love with big dogs.

This silly guy always cheers me up. I dress him up on Holidays.

This is my good friend, Miriam (top) with her daughters that visited this past summer. The gals are from Canada. LOVE this picture of the three of them.

Hannah Graff was missing the day I took photos of my Primary class. Here she is!

Here is a photo collage of the ice skating adventure with the kids from church. Rick went with our kids and took all these pictures. I will happily email these photos to anyone who wants them--just let me know :)

Tukker working on his Science Fair Entry

If you had been to my house in the past six months you would have just seen a vase with a bunch of dowels in it. I finally finished my "flower arrangement." Did you know that I'm a shell finatic?

New glasses! The dog ate the others...an expensive learning experience!

My Dad and Tukker

When Tukker was a baby we lived with my parents.
Tukker was up in the nights more than he was asleep, and my Dad would turn on the cartoons and rock Tukker in that very chair! They have a special connection because of that.

Teaching 6-7 year olds

Teaching this age is much easier for me. Hannah Graff was missing that day :(

The Shamu Christmas show was really fun.
















Face painting.


Face painting.



One of the shows, which was very amusing.






I need a sea otter to bring me diet cokes!




That kind of shark looks familiar.


Some kind of sharks...


Live coral display.


We paid money to see catfish...


I do not understand the connection of a beer company to a
a family theme park.



This is some kind of ugly something...

Lego Magazine

Tukker submitted one of these pictures to Lego Magazine.
They occasionally publish kids' work in the mag.

At the Mission fountain.


Beautiful building.
