We had a great spring bread. This is a picture of Valerie standing in Tower Arch. Valerie hiked for 1.7 miles to get to it. Ken took the 4-wheel road to it. We thought that Ken would certainly get there first since he was driving. That's before. What a road!

This is our most recent addition to the family. His name is Ivan, and he's (or she's, we have not way of knowing at the moment) a desert tortoise. He was originally found on the playground at school as a new hatchling. After spending three years on a friend's balcony it was decided that he is now big enough that he needs a bigger area, which is where we came into the picture. Right now he is less than 5 inches long, only eats dandelions, and likes to have his head rubbed. The cats have kept a close eye on Ivan's movements about the yard and have determined that he is okay.

Aren't they beautiful! This was after our temple sealing.

This is the way they normally look.

I sure love these girls! Of course I had no idea what was going on behind me at the time, and now I laugh every time I look at this picture.
