Gondolla's and Mt. Killington


Three very Brave family members! Made it to the top and down in the Gondila without fainting from fear!
A view of the Mountain from the road going up.
Awesome shot from the top. Anders loves showing


Cool Anders! He is such a great hiker!
Anders got really into acting like he was driving a car while we were taking a picture. He was pretty proud of himself to getting over his fear. I was really proud of all of them. Maddy was super cute, screaming and holding onto the outside door as we tried to step onto the Gondila, then she was able to chill out and take deep breaths for the rest of the trip.
I was studying in bed this morning and Maddi came up to give me a break.
My favorite covered bridge.
I was bummbed about the sun in this one. But it was too cute of both of them not to post.
It was a beautiful view all the way up!

Picking Apples and Petting Zoo, Chilin



Chelle took these shots of me and the Kids. I had so much fun playing with them!


We ate soo many Apples! I think I ate at least 6 before we left. I had to tastes all the different kinds and then I had to eat them when I tasted them! Oh, Apple Heaven!

These animals were so friendly!

Anders had to work up to enjoying the animals, but once he got there he had a blast.

Wyatt really was pulling all these kids around. He is one tough kid!
This girl is amazing!
Uh, ya, I am pretty sure lots of women spend a lot of money to get this sort of hair.


This calf was loving the neck rub I gave her.

Maddie was a little afraid of the animals and the monster looking thing on top of the barn. Couldn't really blame her.

I would lift up the little houses to let the bunnies out and then I would catch one and they would all get a chance to pet it. What a blast!

Vermont with some of my FAVORITE little ones

Chelle and Anders looking over the lake. Sorry they look so serious. I accidentally erased the one where they were smiling.

This is what Anders calls the Water Cave. It is a pipe that runs from the lake on the other side to this stream. I was yelling "Hey Anders!" into it. He was getting quite a kick out of it.


Anders is getting super creative lately. He pulled this face and none of us realized it till we looked at the pictures after.

Seriously, some dang cute kids!
This is Maddie, telling us exactly what we were going to do.

Last night after the conference and playing around with the kids in the house we took the play outside. We played hide and go seek in the cat tails and had a blast wrestling running.

Beautiful Vermont!

I took this photo with my Iphone. I was pretty impressed with myself, and my Iphone.

Vermont Law School Conference on Genocide

Chelle and I were able to go to the last day of the Vermont Law School's International Legal Society Conference on Genocide. We spend the day getting to talk with really cool people like our friend Miatta from Sierra Leone who is working with child soldiers and other communities effected by the conflicts in Sierra Leone.

Jarrod and Glad's Wedding


Here is the picture you have all been waiting for. Too bad I got the dress the morning of and didn't have time to iron it!

Jarrod and Gladriel met last year in Sept. on their first day of school at Yale law school. I remember the day as she called me to let her know she had met a really nice guy who liked to do fun hikes and stuff too. I talked to Jarrod on the phone and figured they were perfect for each other when he talked my ear off as much as Glad does. I was honored to be a part of their wedding and as much as I hate to wear a dress I was happy to do it for them.

Week with Tucker

Tucker got to stay in Utah for the longest time yet. Four days straight. We had a lot of fun hiking in the mornings watching movies with friends and rock climbing with his cousin. It was a good week. This is us at the airport when we realized that the had been there the whole week and we hadn't taken a single picture. He flew out Thursday morning to California, while I flew to Phoenix for Gladriel's wedding.

Sowers of Hope

Here is the gang for Sowers of hope. Four of us will be going to Bukavu, DR Congo this Christmas break. We will bring them lots of supplies and get finalize some business plans.

Glad's vacation


Glad came and stayed with us for about 5 days. She made some excellent lentil and vegetable stew! We enjoyed the sunshine quite a bit while she was here.

Football Reigning Champions!

Oh, ya, we killed them. The team that beat us out of the championship didn't have a chance against us last night, and we took no mercy on them.

Blackacre Blitz

Last night we had our First law school intramural Flag football game. We had two practices before the game and we kicked trash. We scored so much we started to feel bad, so we changed out defense to offense and offense to defense without any instruction and we still kicked their butts, but gave them a little bit of a break.


Deb is our ultimate defender! And she is probably the toughest pregnant lady ever to play flag football!
Here is the Team. We are all 3Ls except our good friend Kaycee, who is a 2L and our two secret weapons Emiliy and Holly. Oh and Kelly is a Social Work Masters student, but pretty much we consider her a 3L. (There is a boy in the back there, Brandon, he is our moral, strategic support.

Here are our mad faces, some of us do this better than others.
Marie, just got her game face on!
We are required to tuck in our shirts, mine is a little long on me!

Jenn's Wedding!

Jenn and Dann, and their two friends who hooked them up!
Me and my Cousin Ashley at the reception. Her Husband has worked with Jenn for years.
Tucker and I with a lot of shadows on our faces.
Us roomies and our good friend Sarah Cropper

We had a great time last weekend at Jenn and Dann's Wedding. The Sealing room was packed, which was beautiful! The reception was a blast, with some of Jenn's friends playing beautiful music on a balcony.

Law Girlz Hike




We all went up to Pittsburg Lake on Saturday. We planned to leave at 7, but Nikki and Kelly canceled last minute. So we had to go get them out out of bed. We didn't make it up to the area until around 11, then it took us another couple of hours to get the the trail, then we couldn't find the trial. We ended up finding a little waterfall and we had fun there. On the way Sophie's dog Hobo decided to take a trip down a really steep hillside. Sophie and I had to go after him cause he was heading for the river. We got him near the bottom and had to grab on to prickly bushes to make our way back up. Our hands are a little torn up now.

Get Together for Jenn's up coming Marriage


We had a get together for Jenn's shower type thing, but we don't like showers so we didn't call it that. Lani entertained us with some dance after everyone, but us roomates and our close friend Terri, left. It was really great to have us all together again.
