Glamour Shots



We had a fun photo shoot today. Larisa set up some backdrops, and we played around for as long as the kids would cooperate.

I have to say a few things about the kids. They are so awesome. Lydia is very comfortable using the computer. I set up an account for her. It just takes her a single click to login to her account (the flower picture) and another single click on an icon to start playing games on pbskids.org. Now that she learned to use the printer, she prints out about 10 coloring pictures a day.

We're trying to teach Tyler not to hit, but he's determined. He thinks it's funny to hit Lydia. Then we hold his hands still as punishment and he gets very angry. But the moment we let go he takes a swing at one of us again and laughs about it.

BYU vs UW



Larisa and I were lucky enough to still be in Redmond when BYU came to UW for a football game. It was the beginning of what looked like a tough schedule. BYU squeaked by and won by a point. They blocked the extra point attempt with only seconds left. What an exciting game to be at.

Looking back it turns out that the schedule was pretty weak after all. BYU is now 9-1, which is pretty good, but the teams like Washington and UCLA that they beat at the beginning of the season have turned out to be pretty awful. Washington still hasn't won a game, and BYU was one of the only close ones. But, a win is a win.
