Lake Tahoe Panorama

My Lake Tahoe panorama from Logan Shoals Vista Point, NV

Well we had a great time visiting Lake Tahoe with Kristen's family! I wanted to post the panorama that I made today from a vista point that Kristen and I visited. It is a composite of 6 pictures but you can't tell that there were individual pictures

I am excited about going to Texas Tech! According to state law, they can only have 10% of their class attend from out-of-state. It is somewhat unusual to get in without being a resident of Texas or having strong ties to the area.

Some pictures from Lake Tahoe

I'm too tired to write much but we've had a great day with family! Ethan had his baby blessing today and it was a wonderful event. Kristen's whole family was able to come since they planned a vacation to Lake Tahoe to coincide with it.

Ethan was very good for his blessing. He looked very handsome in his hand-sewn blessing outfit from his Grandma Gardner (Kristen's mom)!

Mom did a wonderful job with putting together a great luncheon at my parent's house afterward. Everyone left very stuffed.

We stopped by the temple on the way back up to Lake Tahoe.

There are quite a few more good pictures that I hope to upload sometime when I've got more time.

Visit from the Utah Relatives!

I don't think Ethan has been in his bassinet for more than 10 minutes all weekend with the visit of the Utah Whiting's this weekend! He was passed around to just about everyone. It was great to visit with everyone and gain about 10 lbs with all the wonderful food!
