Well, school is finally out for a six week break. I passed chemistry with a solid "C". For those who havn't heard my chem sob story, that's a hard earned grade and I'm quite proud. Troy did well in all his classes. He's off track for the fall, so he'll be working full time at Gringo's. Unfortunately he works at night and I work during the day but I guess that's how it is when you're married. I'm working somewhere between part time and full time at the BYUI alumni office- I love working there typing on computers all day- I don't have to work with customers, dirt, food, kids, or anything else stressful. Since we have more free time we've been working on little projects around the house like painting the deck, painting the door frames, painting the dresser-- mostly lots of painting. Ok, Troy does most of the work since he's home during the day. He's so great!We've also started to eat real food again-more than what we can grab between classes or during studying sessions. We've both started exercising, too. It's nice to take care of ourselves like normal human beings. So that's a little blip of our oh so eventful lives.

This is our first camp out being married. and first ever. We went with Charles and Nancy Teitjen.

Morning!

Joey!!!

The whole Family!

New Frontiers.

The Joey is so small! Its eyes are still closed, but it's feeling pretty adventurous. 

We think that it is a girl. though were still not a 100% sure.

This was the last Construction Drawing that I did for 110. this is a character from Gundam. It is actually a model that I put together about four to five years ago.

This was the second to last Csct Drawing. I had previously done Optimus Prime, so of course, I had to do the villain! 

This was the first  Csct Drawing I did of a actual toy. I think this one is my favorite. He even has the Autobot Matrix of Leadership inside his chest if you look close enough.

This is from my sculptor 280 class. it is called a tromp oli. I think that's how you spell it. anyway, it is supposed to look just like the real thing. and since my first Chuck Taylor evaporated in the high school kiln, so I decided to pull it off right this time.

So I'm taking Art 110 from Dad. And so far only a couple people know that I am his son. the ones who know are sworn to secrecy, why? for fun I guess. Any way this was my first design drawing. and you can tell that I have a long way to go to make good designs. good news is that I at least can draw way better now than when I started.

I finally gave in and drew toys. I had one before this that had a lot of screwy things about it, so I won't post it. It always took me forever trying to come up with something to draw. I have a shelf full of these posseable figures. but I didn't want to draw them for my assignment thinking that that wouldn't be appropriate or something. anyway, I'm glad that I did.

Here was my last attempt at a design composition. I tried to include Dom/sub, alignment, rep and variation, and what not. I hope you like it.

This was my first Construction drawing. It is supposed to be a camera battery charger.

I got tired of the whole single rectangle shape. so I started to draw things that I liked.

This is our new Joey, I think that it's a boy, but it is still to early to tell since it is still in the development stage even though its left the pouch. Jelly keeps the critter safe in the new nesting box while she eats and exercises. Usually Icarus will keep an eye out.

This is Grandma Helen's old 1955 bel air that Jade restored. He pick up Grandma in it and then drove her to the reunion in blackfoot, and I got to take a couple pic.s
