Oracle threw a summer party and we were invited. We had a great time even though the temperatures eclipsed 100. It was the hottest day of the year but it all went well. All the kids had a wonderful time.

365 Day 50
Overlooking Bear Lake. We buried Mom today. It was a difficult day. I got to then take Tanner to scout camp. I took some time, waded in the water, and watched the sun go down. It was cleansing.
While at Bear Lake I made this recording. It expresses some of my thoughts about my mom and all that she has meant to me.

Utah Art Festival
The kids (Kiki, Parker, and Abbi) and I went down to the opening day of the Art Festival. We took TRAX which thrilled the kids. We all had a great time overall. Kennedy would have stayed all day if we would have let her. The kid play area was a blast. They had all the paint, pipe cleaners, markers, glue, etc. that any kid could ever want. It took Abbi a while to get into it, but eventually she made a bug and a poster. Parker painted his arms and Kennedy did a little of everything. They even had a cool musical instrument “petting zoo” where the kids could try out everything from a tuba to a violin and flute. We listened to some of the live music and Kennedy was in heaven but Parker hated the noise. We rode the glass elevator at the library and just hung around. We are all pretty tired tonight.

365 Day 26
I love waking up to the birds chirping, a cool breeze infusing itself into the room, the clean fresh air, and the soft glow of the morning light illuminating the room.
The house is pretty quiet and the world is all good for the moment.
This is a great time of day. I love it.

365 Day 22
I was trying to get to the Agile Roots conference when I came upon a railroad crossing. A train was crossing and then all of a sudden it just stopped. I waited 5, 10, then 15 minutes. I was going to be late and so I flipped around and parked the car in the nearest parking lot. I climbed over a tanker car, took this picture, and then slogged through a somewhat muddy field to the convention center. I wasn’t even late.

365 Day 20
It is awfully hard to bunt the ball with your eyes closed Mr. Tanner.
It was really that kind of day. It was cold, windy, rainy, and in general – miserable. It felt like a March-April game and not a June game.
Tanner made a few nice plays, didn’t hit so well and was really flat along with the whole team. Ben the head coach wasn’t there because he was getting married. Matt was none too happy about the team’s attitude and gave them a good talking to after the game.
