No Responsibility

I had my last class of the semester on Monday...really, it is my last class in an MBA program. So, for the last 5 days I have had no responsibility. I will just say, it has been great! Over the last few days we went to SLC to take the girls to temple square and the children's museum, Kindra went with some friends to get a pedicure (a VERY rare occasion when Kindra will do something for herself), I played in a golf tournament, we both have been able to work out, we attended graduation, tonight it a closing party with friends from school, and we spent a lot of time as a family. With all of those activities, the best thing has been no homework at night, breakfast with the family in the morning, watching a little tv without feeling guilty, etc. It has been a nice break and I feel rejuvenated. Here are some pictures:

Family Car Wash

Of course the car wash turned into a water fight and that, of course, lead to Kierra and Ariana running around scantily clad.

The Christus at temple square.

Right after graduation...the girls weren't necessarily in the mood for pictures after a three hour graduation.

I have really enjoyed the MBA program at BYU. I have met so many good friends in this program. The nice thing is, I can keep in touch with them and I don't have to do the homework anymore. I will miss associating daily with the people that I have met over the last two years.

KID QUOTES:

Ariana hits Kierra.
Kierra:
That didn't hurt.
Ariana hits Kierra again.
Kierra:
That didn't hurt.
Ariana hits Kierra again.
Kierra:
That didn't hurt.
Ariana claws Kierra's legs.
Kierra:
That kind of hurt.

Kierra: Dad, I think it would be good to live in Arizona. I have always wanted to live where the white polar bears live. (she might be sorely disappointed.)

Kierra: Where are you going dad?
Dad: I have a temple recommend interview.
Kierra: What is that? What do you do there?
Dad: I meet with the bishop and the stake president. They ask me questions to see if I am trying to do what's right.
Kierra: Uh oh!
Dad: What? Don't you think I will do well at the interview?
Kierra: Well, sometimes you forget that stupid is a bad word!

Man Kierra is a smart one If she does see the white polar bear, she needs to tell Coops because he loves arctic animals.

Congratulations. Glad you made it!

Oh, I love your girls! Congrats on graduation! We were in town for David to walk, but it was so crazy.

We are so proud of you. We will come see you in Arizona, and I am sure that Kierra and I will find the white bears! Don't worry too much about saying stupid, just try not to say it in front of Kierra or Ariana.

I just love the Kierra quotes (though Ariana seems to be the one contributing a great deal by picking on her *g*).
Greetings from Germany!
