After 8 years, Jason's time on the Yucca Mountain Project ended today as planned. It was a bittersweet day for him. He's ready to move on to new challenges, but also disappointed that the Project is facing more budget cuts and many of his co-workers and friends lost their jobs. All because of politics. Silliness, he would say.
So he's off to start his new job as the deputy Public Affairs manager for Bechtel National, Inc., on Monday. Yucca Mountain brought us to Las Vegas and provided Jason with great experience and great co-workers that will be his friends for life.
Now we look forward to a new adventure.
Sunday afternoon chillin'
Jason and Levi after church in clean white shirts -- with a bag of Cheetos. How could this go wrong?
Dylan on "the bump"
While he loves playing anywhere on the baseball field, Dylan's favorite position is on "the bump" -- the pitcher's mound.
Flippin' Burgers
One night in Park City we enjoyed dinner at a local place downtown, Flippin' Burgers. We had good burgers and fries, dynamite onion rings, and flavor burst ice cream. Not every kid can pull off looking tough while holding an ice cream cone.
Camping fun
In the vein of sharing photos of events long after they happen, we had a great time camping with our friends the Piets in early June at Mt. Charleston. Good friends, cool weather, and lots of bacon. It doesn't get much better than that. As you can see in the photo, the kids get along ok.
Mel's biggest fan
Nobody spends more time watching at the ballparks than Levi...and he loves it, especially around the girls' teams. Mel (as she's known around softball fields) appreciates the good luck smooches.
Now that's a sandwich...
Dylan tackling a classic Primanti Brothers sandwich in Pittsburgh - roast beef, french fries, and cole slaw, all between two thick slices of french bread.
Oriole Park at Camden Yards
August 2007 -- the best ballpark we've visited, so far. Beckett throws 8, Red Sox win, we eat burgers with Sox fans at Five Guys. Great day...

If Jason is starting on Monday, when are you all moving? What did Melissa decide? Is she staying or going???? How exciting, change is always good! we're glad Jason still has a job!
We were in Maryland last summer when Kurt's oldest son got married. Now maybe we can find an excuse to go back. I loved it back there, but it is a long way from your family... Kari
Jessie....we are moving at the end of July, after Melissa finishes her summer softball season. She decided to go with us and we are all so excited. We're not ready to be without her yet. We still have one more year.
Kari....come visit us anytime! We love company. We are sad that it is so far away from family, but excited for the change.
