Just a Few More

Anders is getting some freckles on his little nose and cheekies
I found a you tube of a 10 year old playing a U2 song on the guitar. Wyate and Anders had to try it.
She really is one of the cutest little girls in the world!

Fishing and Hiking

One of the days we went hiking we found tons of turtles on the logs in the middle of the lake. It was pretty amazing.


Maddie really likes to ride on my shoulders, which is fun, except that she feels like she needs to hold on with her hands, feet, and chin. The chin holding on is really kinda painful as she digs it right into my skull!
We took Maddie, Anders and their friends Jacob and Parly hiking today, they were all quite the goofs.

This was the cutest thing I have seen in nature in a while. These little duckies followed their mom right across the trail and into the water, with the mom quacking all the way to make sure she had them all.
How can you resist this cute face! The pool Anders is using was fashioned out of a good ol' stick, some fishing line we found by the lake and a rock tied to the end.
Today we watched as an older gentleman was fishing. He saw us watching him and asked if we wanted him to real a fish in. So he caught one and let Anders real it in and touch it! Probably the coolest thing that has happend to Anders up to this point in his life. I was almost as excited as he was!

Memorial Day

Maddie was pretty proud of herself for getting up there on her own.
Anders is under the Christmas tree, which has been in this little lot since the Larson clan "planted" it by sticking its trunk in the ground. It is still green!
Brig was pretty satisfied to have made the biggest crepe in crepe history.
Anders didn't talk much this meal, but I am pretty sure he enjoyed being able to have Ice cream for breakfast


This is my beautiful niece Madeline. I am in Vermont this week helping my sister out with her kids, since things aren't going super hot with the one she has cooking in the oven. On Monday we all went to the parade in Windsor Vermont which consisted of a fire truck and an ambulence, followed by the school band and everyone in the highschool, jr. high and elementary school following behind.
After the parade Mike had the brilliant idea of going for breakfast, afterwhich Chelle had an even better idea of making crepes. Between Mike and I's varied crepe experience we were able to come up with some great fillings. We had cream cheese, whip cream, sour cream, and ice cream. We had bannanas, strawberries, and nectarines. Then we had the side of bacon. It was an amazing meal and we spent the rest of the day lounging and talking until 5:30 when we went over to Jordan and Katie's for a BBQ. What a perfect day off!

New old friend

Through some random events I was able to get back in touch with a good friend of mine from my high school days. Since a couple of Sundays ago Tucker and I have been able to spend some fun times together, mastering a random video game, rock climbing and four wheeling. It will be exciting to see what the rest of the summer holds in store.

Mason Jennings Concert

Some of my roomies and I caught a Mason Jennings concert down town SLC at the Paladium. The concert was pretty rocking and super low key as Mason and his bassists were super chill and not at all flashy. I don't think Mason talked once during the whole performance.

myVillagelink goes to Vegas

I went down to Vegas for a weekend to go over a lot of things with Nathaniel, by working partner. These were our positions of choice, yes my back did get pretty sore! I finally moved myself to the other desk in the room, but kept finding myself back on the bed and eventually gave up.

Kathy and I

A coupld of weeks ago I had the chance to visit one of my best friends and greatest professors from BYU-Hawaii, Kathy Ward. She and her husband live up in the Cascades of Washington. I spent one night and a morning with them catching up on the past three years. It was well worth the trip to spend time with such good people in a beautiful setting.
