COLORADO Red rocks, green magestic mountains, what more can you say. WOW!




































These are real ruins built in the 1800s... Wait a minute, that's not ancient. Still, this place was a good time - manitou springs

Berry Good Pickin'
I think this berry farm in Pescadero lost money on us. You could eat as many berries as you wanted while you were there and paid by the pound for what you carried out. They should have weighed the boys coming in and leaving though because they were very good at eating and not so good at putting them in their buckets.

Fourth of July We seemed to have plenty of opportunities to burn sparklers on this trip to Utah. As you can see, Emmet was really into his sparklers. Cody looks pretty enthused about them too.















Parker graduated to sparklers in both hands this year. We are so proud.

Trip to Ogden. We camped up Ogden Canyon and took the gondola to the top of snowbasin. Parker's great grandparents taught him how to catch his first fish.

In light of the recent killings of coyotes in Golden Gate Park I thought I'd put some pictures of my own encounter with this group of coyote pups. Steve Ross and I were golfing at golden gate park and these pups watched us tee off on the 7th hole. They were so cute.

Here's our family picture for 2006. This year was good to us. Emmet and Parker are growing like weeds.

Parker has been busy with preschool, gymnastics, and swimming lessons. He is very athletic and very good at swinging on the rings.

Emmet has a sweet smile and is learning lots of new words like "mine" and "no". He loves to hear his daddy play the guitar.

April's piano studio is bulging at the seems and she has people waiting for space to open up. She is the new temple prep teacher in our ward and still finds time to take care of the boys (all 3) and work out religiously.

Paul entered the clinic in 2006 and is enjoying treating patients. He loves April's piano lessons because he gets to spend them with the boys. They have been to every museam, aquarium, park and planetarium in the greater bay area (almost). He is also enjoying his continued work with the young men. He even has time to catch a crab or two.

That's our 2006 wrapup. Exciting things on the horizon for 2007 are a trip to Disneyland and lots of ice cream. Here are some of the year's photos:
