It's not working!

It's working now!

Melanie training Rincon like a horse.

Liam was sad that Rincon would be leaving us soon.

Everybody was Kung Fu Fighting!

EEEEYYAAAAAAAA!

You dare to challenge me?!

EYA!

OWWWWWAH - The Golden Dragon will now destroy you!

She blinds her enemies with pure cuteness.

As a master of Kung Fu, I can hover like this all day...

Liam was ready before Will and Ryan and decided to take off with out them. Liam's the small one on the right.

Liam cruising by.

Liam getting the hang of it...almost. Actually, he did really well most of the time until he saw me get the camera out, then he would pay attention to me instead of what he was doing...and wipe out. Like this.

Snowboarding at Sundance for Liam's 8th B-Day!

Liam and his Ski-Snowboard instructor Ryan Dittmar. Ryan is a friend of Will's and they work together. Ryan is an engineer at SMS and is also a professional ski and snowboard instructor. He was nice enough to spend the day with us and teach Liam how to snowboard. Within about 15 minutes, we were on the chair lifts and having a great time

Liam learning the basics of Snowboarding from Ryan. He was lucky to be learning from the best.

All decked out for the slopes.

The lodge at the top of Sundance, the view from up here was astonishingly beautiful. What a rugged and wonderful wilderness we have here in the Wasatch Mountains.

Liam's Birthday Lunch

We took Liam out to lunch for his 8th birthday at an all you can eat pizza place.

Usually this is the only kind of picture I can get out of Melanie.

Maeby likes to stick her thumb through the pizza to eat it.
