Patrick Goes to School

So we dropped Patrick off at BYU!
It all started with a haircut! Courtney had to get her Cali long haired
little brother upto the strict hair over the ears standard!


Before...
After... notice the photo over his right shoulder.

The dorm

Patrick in front of the view from his dorm. We will be hiking up to the "Y"( behind him click for a better view) at the end of the month when we go up for the BYU/Colorado St game!

Patrick and his room mate Justin.

Chris helped us to get Patrick all signed up, purchase books, and moved into the dorm! Here Patrick is contemplating how nice it was of his brother to do that!

Move in day!


The kids putting their education where their mouths are.. those are their BYU id cards.

We went up to the canyons for s'mores... we made some, but nobody ate them.
We like the idea of s'mores more than the actual taste and consequences of s'mores.
Joshua killed a tree so we could stay warm... in august.
We are so proud of Patrick and wish him nothing but success! He is a great boy and we miss him very much already! One to go...

I must say I like the hair. And a fire in August is just wrong. We could start our own fire here with the 115 degrees we had in August. I loved the clip of you and Courtney...you both are quite HOT!! She has a great little idea goin'

You have such good looking kids! I bet that is hard to have your kids go off to college.

You didn't add in that the first haircut didn't make the grade and he had to get another! I do love the id picture and that you continue to shop for and prepare s'mores despite the fact no one eats them! The boys called yesterday for laundry tips--now I feel appreciated!!!

You cut off all that hair and then they go play games to buy some fake hair!! Only one left in HS huh..how does that feel? I think it will feel to lonely!
