Utah trip

I had fun on a recent trip to Utah (for Lindsey's show). It was fun to have time with Dave and Sarah's family. I always like to do a project with the kids. This is Bryce and Kobe fingerpainting.


Solena was my shadow. I loved playing with her--singing, talking, playing with kitty, cleaning, organizing, etc. I went with her to her nursery class on Sunday. She was fun to play with.

I found the old books that Dave wrote when he was little. I had fun reading them to Kobe and his friend (McKay), Solena and Bryce. Then Kobe and I made books for him.

This is Lindsey with her cast while they were posing for pictures after the show. These kids love her. She is amazing with them. She has earned their respect so now she can have fun with them.

We have always given something to Lindsey after her shows that will represent the show. This is a Barbie decked out like Thoroughly Modern Millie. It was a ton of fun to see the show and watch the amazing production Lindsey was responsible for.

Office in the digital world

These are pictures of an overhead monitor and a computer and monitor as they now are in every operatory in the office. We also take digital xrays which show immediately on the monitor. We have a new digital panoramic xray machine. We can put the xray images and intraoral camera images on the overhead monitor for patients to see. Pretty cool stuff.

Nicole's Birthday

We went to dinner with Brian and Nicole to celebrate her birthday. It was a hibachi style restaurant and Nicole loved it. She has a new job this year. She works at an elementary with handicapped children. It is emotionally demanding, but she likes it. Check with her to find out more about it. Happy Birthday Nicole!

Colorful Fall

We have had an absolutely beautiful and colorful fall. This barberry in the front yard has never been so red.



The cotoneaster hedge in the backyard is more colorful that it has ever been. This was on Halloween.

See the red amur maple in the Japanese garden. We are loving it. We still haven't had any snow yet this year.

Cootie!

This is the poster that Brian drew for the Cootie Party. He took the materials home and drew it there. He said Matthew didn't know he could draw! He is so creative. Look at the details of these little cooties on the ship and on the land. We are so grateful that he will draw this poster for us every year!

Cap'n Kent and Rascal Rolayne were the host and hostess for this 24th Annual Cootie Invitational Tourney. We had a lot of fun dressing up and planning the activities for the night.

We had full wall decorations (thanks to Suzie for suggesting we look up Oriental Trading Catalog for pirate ideas). This is a picture of the group playing games in the basement. Kent is rolling "eyeballs" into a treasure chest. We played "pin the eyepatch on the captain". You can see the big captain on the wall in the background. We also "bowled" with skulls and shot at skulls.

These lovely ladies are some of the "wenches" that their husbands had to catch by identifying their bare feet while the rest of their bodies were hidden.

We have some fun friends that are nearly as crazy as we are. It is a fun evening for us to laugh and laugh, eat, and play and laugh some more.

Telluride Weekend

Suzie's sister got married on September 20th in Telluride, Colorado. She came from Samoa for this event. This is Suzie and Kye on the gondola ride up to the top of the mountain at Telluride. They both looked wonderful!
Here they are at the top of the mountain.
Suzie and Kye came back to Denver with Kent and I for a few days. On our drive home we stopped at the Grand Canyon of the Gunnison and looked around. It was beautiful.

This is Suzie's family (oops, Natalie isn't in this picture). It's Reagan, Suzie, Carl, Boonie, Cindy, Sid, Mimi and Jessica. See more pictures on Nathan and Suzie's blogspot. It was so fun to see all the family together.
This is the little stud muffin (minus the tie courtesy of Kent). He has grown so much. He was so much fun to play with. He "talks" a lot, climbs a lot, giggles and is lots of fun. We loved having Kye and Suzie with us for a few days.
