Anne’s Piano Evaluation
Anne has had a variety of piano teachers over the years but she’s been with Cindy for the past 8 years so Cindy has definitely had the largest influence over Anne’s piano talents and style. Anne plays with decent mechanics but could probably stand to improve in her musical interpretation. Recently she signed up for… Continue reading Anne’s Piano Evaluation
San Francisco 2013
When BYU got invited to the Fight Hunger Bowl, I called up Grandpa Kent and we made plans to go to the bowl game. I thought Sam would like to go and Grandpa said Grandma Connie was interested in going as well. Because Nancy wanted to visit her parents in the Bay Area, Nancy, Sam,… Continue reading San Francisco 2013
Happy Birthday Emily
Emily’s birthday was a few weeks ago. She’s now 18 although to me it doesn’t feel like she’s an “adult” yet. In my mind she’s still the giggly little 3 year old girl that ran around the quad and played on the swings when Nancy and I lived in student housing all those years ago.… Continue reading Happy Birthday Emily
New computer and merit badge
With 5 kids in school and each one needing to do a class project or report as well as play games, competition for the computer has become fierce. Time to get a second one. If I really had the kids’ interests in mind I would get a laptop that they could use around the house;… Continue reading New computer and merit badge
Week in review
This past week was a busy one for the family with the kids in school, and Young Women and Scouts, and volunteering at the hospital. Of course, the highlight of my week was the home opener for BYU against Texas. This year we are glad that Grandpa is finally retiring now that he’s turned 70… Continue reading Week in review
Back to School
Sam and Diana are still on year-round school so their track started a week earlier than the older girls. Sam is in 6th grade now so he’s a Big Man on Campus while Diana is starting the 4th grade. They’re excited to go back to school and Nancy is excited as well.
2013 Vacation – Part 2
One of the days we decided to hike to Manoa Falls. We read about the hike online and decided it would be good to get out into nature a bit. Manoa Falls is also next door to the University of Hawaii Arboretum so Grandma and Grandpa decided they would meet us at the arboretum after… Continue reading 2013 Vacation – Part 2
2013 Vacation – Part 1
In August we were fortunate to be able to take a nice vacation to Hawaii with Grandma Connie and Grandpa Kent. This is probably the last time we’ll be able to take a big family vacation together as next year Emily will be off to college. We’ve been to Oahu before but there is always… Continue reading 2013 Vacation – Part 1
Beijing 2013
A couple of weeks ago I went to China with some colleagues from work. We have some developers in our China offices joining the team and we went there to meet and train them. I’ve been to Beijing a few times over the past 20 years and it’s always interesting to me how some things… Continue reading Beijing 2013
