Scott and I are celebrating our 37th anniversary in a week so, in a burst of planning ahead, we went away this last weekend to celebrate. First, we drove to Syracuse to go to the temple there. It's a new temple. It reminded us of the Lindon temple which will be opening the week after our anniversary. After the temple, we went down the road to eat at the "Hug-hes Cafe". I ordered the prime rib special with salad and green beans and Scott ordered the Braised Short Ribs that came with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was a lot of food and reasonably well-cooked.

 Happy birthday to our oldest son David! Here are some pictures from his 9th and 10th grade years, with just a couple from his 9th grade year. We spent his 10th grade year in Germany.

It was a little lonely for him since the rest of his classmates had known each other for years and were in the same school class all that time. He went to his classmate's 16th birthday which is when you are allowed to start drinking alcohol in Germany and many of the kids were drunk with people throwing up. It was his last party there. So he spent a lot of time studying and hanging out with his brothers. He enjoyed coming back to Utah in June 2006 and getting his driver's license, his Eagle Scout, and starting marching band. This first picture is a science fair project.
