Bagley Cartoons

Here are a couple of Pat Bagley cartoons addressing the two big issues of the day: gas prices and the housing crisis (he draws for the Salt Lake Tribune).

The Bar, Again

Last December, Diana predicted a boring year ... no babies or bar exams. Then came our surprise (Grace, due on Sept. 20), and then the firm asked or rather told me to take another bar exam in July (Utah), and then another, also in July (Wyoming).

Fortunately , just like last year, Isaac has agreed to be my tutor.





2007: 2008:

Fossils

We spent this morning hunting fossils. And when I say we, I mean we. Isaac thought it was fun to turn over rocks, pick them up, and then jabber about them (how quickly they learn).

As you can see we came away with some pretty good fossilized leaves and possibly part of a fish.

Home

Yes, we have been home ... again.

There were all kinds of things going on in Wyoming and Utah last week. Di's parents meet us in Vernal Sunday night and took her and IJ to Wyoming. Diana spent the week at scrap camp with her mom. IJ spent the week being chased by Grandpa and Uncle Wayne. As you can see from the pictures, IJ wasn't able to get out of doing chores around the ranch, he had to go irrigate. I spent the week eating red meat, listening to the jazz music that drives Diana nuts and fishing.

I drove up on Friday night. We spent Saturday at a wedding in Logan. On Saturday night we made the tail end of Corbin's reception and we drove home Sunday. We would have loved to spend more time vising friends in Utah -- next time!

While at G & G Rammell's house, Diana polished up her guitar skills with Brian. IJ played our piano, which after 4 years is still sitting in Grandma's living room.
