Playgrounds

Kaylee Loves Playgrounds

Recently, for Kaylee, playgrounds have been the big thing.  She loves slides (the higher the better) and swings.  Here are some clips from our family videos of her playing at the playground.

Bean Museum

Bean Museum

For some strange reason, I can't get pictures to upload anymore onto Blogger.  So, we'll have to do without pictures for a bit until I can figure out what is going on.

Not too long ago, we went as a family to the Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum.  For those that haven't been, the museum is on BYU campus.  It contains many animal specimens that have been stuffed or preserved in some way--elephants, giraffes, bears, lions, bugs, etc.  They also have some showings of live animals like lizards and things like that.  We went to one of the live animal shows with Kaylee.  She got a bit restless while they were talking about the different animals, of course, but once the live animal came out (a giant lizard--can't remember what kind though) and she could touch a few other things (like a stuffed wolverine and owl) she was happy.  She liked touching the lizard, which surprised me!  She was scared of the stuffed owl at first, but then she wanted to hug him.  I really wish I could post pictures right now, because her facial expressions were priceless!  Soon though, I hope!

Tyler Update

Tyler is progressing very well in his graduate program.  His professors say he is on track to complete his Master's degree in August (total of 18 months in the program).  On Saturday, he presented on his thesis topic (Usable Email Security) at the Student Research Conference and did a great job.  He will be doing research throughout the summer to finish by August. We're so proud of him and the work he is doing :)

 Tyler likes to study in odd positions, he's getting used to a desk in his research lab though

This is what happens when he thinks he has fixed a bug in his programming, but then the fix creates a bunch more problems.
