KMB lot pictures and other stuff

Yesterday I had to pick David up from work in Provo.  So, I made sure to take some ex-KMB pictures on the way for those of you don't live close enough to see for yourselves.  Aren't I thoughtful?  These were taken from the parking lot (which is still there) in front of the KMB (which is not).  For those of you who have no idea what the KMB is or who don't care--skip ahead.  

This is the worst one

Alright, alright.  I'm done lamenting the loss of this building. For now.  On to other things.

Zackary has been developing at a crazy pace!  Every day there is something new he can do or say.  He finally learned to crawl at about 13 months and after that, something turned on in his brain.  Now, not only does he crawl like a pro, he can climb on and off furniture, up and down stairs, cruise on furniture, walk while only holding one hand, and take 1 or 2 steps between objects.  But, the most progress he's made is in language development.  I wrote down all the words he can say and the list reached more than 50.   50! He's not even 16 months old.  Enough bragging.  Here's a cute video of Zack making animal sounds. Which are just as good as words.

Farewell, KMB!


Today I drove by the BYU campus for the first time in months and saw that the Knight Mangum Building had been torn down.  Even though I knew the building had been demolished, I wasn't prepared to see, well, nothing. This wasn't just some building that I occasionally went to.  I spent the majority of my time in college in this building.  All my voice lessons were in there, several dance classes, and Young Ambassadors rehearsals.  So, I daresay hundreds or maybe thousands of hours were spent in this building.  Still, I wasn't expecting the sudden rush of emotions that came when instead of the familiar old KMB, I saw a big flat dirt lot.  Unfortunately, my camera wasn't with me, so I couldn't take pictures of the empty lot, but I did find a picture of the building being torn down. Hope it's not illegal.


So, goodbye KMB!  You will be missed!
