More highlights from my recently-made photo book of 2006-2007. I should point out that these pictures portray our family at our best. Family life is usually pretty ordinary but you don't take pictures of that. So these are the pictures from the less ordinary activities.
At the beginning of 2007, Kurt married Alice Demske. We all loved her:
Okay, maybe Mindy wasn't at her best:
Something the kids started doing that they loved was stuffing large t-shirts or pajamas with pillows and calling themselves "Bellies". They had a great time doing this and playing together.
Garrett took French horn lessons from Kathy Colton who studied music at the same time I did at BYU. Here he's doing a recital with Grandma accompanying him.
Garrett and Jan both auditioned for the school play, "Beauty and the Beast". Garrett was a cute little shepherd.
Jan was a candlemaker and also a wolf.
Later in the spring, Jan was in the 9th grade play, "You Can't Take It With You", as the dad who liked to experiment. His "wife" was Jackie Clark.
For spring break, our family visited Capitol Reef National Park and then visited Goblin Valley and Little Wildhorse Canyon.
Goblin Valley is an easy place to lose track of your children.
David ran track at the high school. His event was the mile.
This is one of my favorite pictures of Mindy.
Followed closely by this one.
Susanna participated in the kindergarten play as a duck.
In June, my brother Kent married Melanie McKinnon in Washington, DC. Scott and I flew out for it leaving David in charge at home. I think we got someone to help out during the day but we can't remember who.
One summer day, I couldn't find Talmage, age 5, anywhere. I had everyone helping me look for him. Finally we found him in the front closet taking a comfortable nap on the coats, enjoying the dark and the quiet.
