Vania's Senior Photo

So here is Vania's Senior photo.  She hated doing it because she hated the dress they made her wear.  She is much like Sara in this way.  She is not a real girly girl and isn't much for the shoulder thing.  But I must say as a dad, she looks like a beautiful young woman.  This is a photo of a proof so it's not very good.  Vania is going to Indianapolis, Indiana in October to a  national FFA convention.   While there she will receive, in behalf of Jared the National FFA Achievement Award.  Jared earned it a while ago, but left on his mission before he could get it himself.  Vania is now working at the same Veterinary hospital that Jared worked at.  She is earning money to attend BYU this coming Summer.

Sara's trip to Mesa Verde, Colorado

Sara recently took a road trip with some friends to Mesa Verde in Colorado.  Anyone who knows Sara, knows that this girl knows how to have fun.  She is very adventurous like her Grandma Rutman and loves to do new things and visit new places.  The road trips are always her idea.  She is a planner of adventure and seeker of the unusual to do.  Hence the alligator farm.   Last year she went to Mt Rushmore with some friends.  For Sara to hold an alligator is a real milestone in her life.  She is NOT! a lizard person.

Nick at Work

Well! Nick has been home for the Summer doing some remodeling for Dr. Gallegar.  He has worked for Dr. Gallegar for the past two Summers.  It is fun to see him doing this kind of work.  Nick is always good at building and figuring things out.  He is a Lego man from way back. so building comes natural.  There is something embarrassing about having your father show up to work and start taking pictures.  Good thing he works alone.  So for the rest of my children, don't be surprised when we come to visit I show up at your work with my camera.  I think Sara needs a visit.  Nick leaves for BYU the last week of August.  Sad Day. 

Jared in Brussels

Jared loves his art work and thought it good to express it.  Here he is on the right with a pictorial expression of the plan of salvation.  He said it was very effective and he got a lot of questions.  Jared is not afraid to do the unusual.  

Jared's last day in Paris

Jared is now in Brussels Belgium.  This was his last "P" Day in The Meaux Ward.

Jeannine and I went down to San Diego to visit Aaron and Lindsay. These are some pictures of Aaron's family in Coronado, south of San Diego. A fun time had by all especially for the boy with the blue ice cream cone.
