Bryson was playing in the tub and was able show that his California roots run pretty deep. Looks like he's taking the first steps towards swimming even before he can walk! Notice also his awesome farmer's tan!

Seth Eagle Court of Honor
Last Saturday Seth finally had his Eagle Court of Honor. He shared the stage with three friends from the ward. The court of honor was held in the chapel with the usual pomp and circumstance, but that is why we don't have pictures. I took a few post hoc for your enjoyment. The video is the Seth portion of what we showed. I'm pretty sure you don't care about the other boys.

Guthrie Lodge & Resort is Now Open
About three weeks ago we were all sitting at the table discussing Molly's return to BYU in August, and the fact that she needed to get out of her apartment and somehow stay at our house for a month or two before school starts. With Jarom and Melissa and Bryson here there isn't a lot of extra space, let alone private space for Molly to use. So we decided that we just might have to modify our basement a bit. Jane had some ideas, but Jarom and I had to figure it out on our own. The conclusion was as much as we like the idea of a pool table, the reality is that we really don't use it (it came with the house) so if we used that space (and sold the table) we could probably put a room there. Our friends had a local contractor that they had used, so we gave him a call. His bid came in right about what we could afford, and he thought he could do the work in a week or two. We had toyed with doing the improvements ourselves, but at that price, we went with the "pros", a decision which proved to amazingly wise. The addition took 7 days from start to finish. We'll do the final painting, but as you can see the overall results are decent. Our next project with be to add a shower! Our plan is to use the room primarily as a guest room. We're still debating whether to make it a nice guest room, or a bunk house for grand kids. Well for now, it will be Molly's little bedroom during the summer and holiday breaks, and a guest room for the in-between times.
This is the "before" shot.
This is the "after" shot
New bedroom door from the foot of the basement stairs.
Slightly different angle. The rack will be going when we sell the pool table (its on Craigs List).

Video tour of the new room
Jarom took about four hours of time lapse photos of the first day of construction. We started at one angle and had to move the camera to another because they were tearing the ceiling out and had to hang plastic to minimize the spread of dust and dirt.

These are the pictures we took after church today for Brandon, Andrew, Seth and Chad's Eagle Court of Honor invitations. Please pick your one or two favorites and let me know ASAP! I have access to a special photo program that will allow me to pick the best face and merge them (a bit different than photo shop), so let me know the best picture for your favorite scout and I'll try to use the best of them.
