The Utah Capitol Building

Posters on the HIll

Today Whitney presented her UROP research at the Capitol today. As UROP is federally funded all the students presented the outcomes of their research to the lawmakers so they see how their money is being spent. She did a great job.

My Co-workers Are Not Very Nice to Each Other Sometimes...

lucky girl...no idea what she did to them (if anything). I think they just take turns. You must admit, they did an impressive job.

You can tell a lot about teenagers by their shoes...

So...the resident teenager of our house had some friends over last night. We surrendered the basement and then analyzed the shoes left by the door.

Well, rumor has it the UGG boots and the grey shoes held hands recently...question is WHAT were they doing when the took off their shoes?

Think these are his favorite shoes??? You can't see the backs, but they originally had backs. They've been completely flattened.
Another view with latecomer's black sneakers included...and this uploaded the wrong way round. Also gotta love the general disarray.

Dweams

My family went out to dinner tonight and we overheard some snippets of dialogue from the table next to us that have had us chuckling all night: (not verbatim, but the gist is there)

"and I said 'no honey, you can't go do that.'"
"but, Mooooommy, it's my fondest dweam."
"Ok, then, you go help your dad with the plumbing."

Foraging

Inspiration has struck, thanks to DI and Michaels pictured below is the start of the foundation materials for the art project I've decided to do, it may be awesome, or it may be a disaster, but I'm way excited to try it out.
