Elder Droge has been out for a year. I think tradition has it that at 6 months you burn a tie, 12 months a shirt and 18 months a pair of pants. We may never know what exactly he was burning. let's hope this picture is being taken outside. I wouldn't put it past Greg if it wasn't... would you? 

Sometime August 2005. This is one of his baptisms for the week. 

This is Greg learning how to Dance from some sisters. Is it me, or does it seem like he is not doing the same thing as all the other ladies? keep practicing! 

Greg says this is what it looks like when it rains in mexico. Of course he also says he has his own mountain... 

End of summer, start of School

The summer has finally come to an end.

We had a good time, playing with family and friends. We went to Disneyland in late Spring, Denver Colorado to watch Heather Pond's soccer team play in regional action, Michelle went with the sisters to shop shop shop in Palm Desert CA. We bought Michelle a bike so we could ride around town. After one wreck and more than one rides without a wreck, we had a great time!

Now with the new year, Dave will start his final year at BYU studying Electrical Engineering. He will be getting his Bachelors Degree in April.

Michelle is entering her third year of teaching. This is her 2nd year teaching 2nd grade at Hobble Creek Elementary, part of the Nebo School District.

There are only two coin mints in the US, Denver and Pennsylvania. Since we were in Denver, we decided we might as well take the tour. Here is Michelle out in front of the mint. 

Dave at the entrance. The place was guarded like Fort Knox. I wonder why? 

Here we are!

Our favorite player, Heather!! go HP number 21! 

Coming in 3rd place at the 2005 Denver Regionals, Avalanche! 

One of the many times the girls lined up to start the game. GO AVALANCHE!! 

Lunch was served out of the back of the truck on the way home. From left to right is Dave, Kimberly, Heather, Nicole, and Brandon 

For the ride home we decided to take the scenic route and drove through Rocky Mountain State Park. It was a very pretty drive. 

During the drive through Rocky Mountain State Park, we saw some big horn sheep off to the side of the road, so we decided to pull over and have a look 

Here's a little guy just hanging out. 

Michelle and the Rocky Mountains 

These big horn sheep were just hanging out for the photo shoot.

Here we are! There is a couple of mountain goats or sheep, whatever in the background. 

Here's a picture of a solo sheep. 

Great job HP!! Her Avalanche team did a great job at the tournament. 

Towards the end of the drive, we saw a moose...
