"Princess" Hazel's Birthday

Today is Hazel's second birthday - hard to believe. She loves princesses, dolls, dressing up, make-up, Tinkerbell and shoes. I found a darling netted dress-up skirt for her and some fun magnet "paper" dolls.

Schoolwires

The school district has purchased a new web program. Our department's responsibility is to understand how the program works, migrate all the present department sites into new sites for each department, prepare and teach the program. My main responsibility has been to create sections and channels for each department and to create the new technology website. I will be responsible for a lot of the troubleshooting as departments and schools come on board. It's been a bit challenging, since Friday, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday Schoolwires has crashed. The architecture of this new web program is very different from the former one, which I could troubleshoot with my eyes closed. And words such as channels, migration, sections...have taken on new meanings - it's like learning a new language!

"Lovely Betsy"

Shaury decided to create a small business selling vintage clothing. She's launching her Etsy site tomorrow. She asked me to be her "photographer" and her friend, Aleesha to be her model. They came over tonight and we had great fun taking the photos and deciding where in the house to model them. Her Etsy site is: www.LovelyBetsy.etsy.com

Jared's Birthday

Jared turned 33 today - hard to believe I have another kid even older than him!  Happy Birthday, Jared!

Good Things Utah

Cathy and I went to Good Things Utah this morning, attending as part of the studio audience. Though I've only seen this show a couple of times, it was intersting to see how a TV segment is put together. I've always enjoyed watching the behind-the-scenes action of plays and live theatre, so this was fun too.

It was interesting to see how the whole platform was just moved to another area in preparation for the next segment. The girls didn't even move off the set.

A cooking segment with the "science" guy using vinegar in bread and pasta.

Cathy took this shot from her TV recording, showing us on TV - our 5 seconds of fame!

After taking lunch to Joanna and visiting with her in the hospital, we headed home via Farmington Bay to check if any eagles had landed. We saw one flying and a couple way out on the Bay.

Monochromatic Winter

On the way home from Jared and Carrie's this afternoon, after tending the grandkids overnight, I stopped by the side of the road as this winter farm scene, and frosted weeds, caught my eye.

Icicles and Grandkids

I thought this melting icicle looked like it changed its mind and decided to go in another direction!

 A face in the crowd...

Weston was very excited with the treasure box I brought out as a surprise. I included some sea shells and little rocks.
