Bob’s law firm (Dykas, Shaver and Nipper LLP) are the proud owners of a 100 year old house near downtown Boise. The five attorneys and three staff fit in the house nicely, and we rent out three office spaces to other small businesses. 
Deah and boyfriend Chris Cooper relocated from Seattle, Washington to Thornton, Colorado, where he is the manager of a construction operation and she is working in the office of the same company.
Laura is studying full-time at UCSD and continues to work at a Law firm in San Diego. Laura plans to go to law school after college. 
Ciera performed her 6th Nutcracker, dancing in “The Waltz of the Flowers”. She continues to intensely study Ballet and Modern Dance with Ballet Idaho. She swam a killer 200 meter freestyle race
on swim team, jogs in the foothills, out-hiking us on our family backpack, and she continues to burn up the slopes free skiing with her friends.
Jim had great spring and fall soccer seasons, playing a forward and scoring goals. He took third in the Cub Scout pinewood Derby, and the butterfly seems to be his favorite event on swim team. With his super-G abilities from ski team, (in which he just started his fourth year) he leaves us all in the dust on the slopes as well as the hiking trail.
Tuckie took a quick trip to the Seattle area in August, connecting with friends and enjoying the Pike Place Market, downtown and the Olympic Peninsula with the kids.
Bob covered a lot of miles this year in our beautiful Idaho mountains. The year started with his BSU winter camping outing in February. The family day hiked over the 4th of July to Farley Lake. Bob and one of his Law firm partners ventured into the White Clouds in July. And Bob, Jim and another friend hiked to one of our favorite lakes, Kane Lake for more good fishing, then Bob went with 4 friends on a three day loop hike in the Sawtooths. Labor Day the family hiked to spectacular Sawtooth Lake and the season ended with his backpack class going to Rapid Lake near McCall.
A trip to Montrose, Colorado at the end of July to celebrate the wedding of nephew Mark Shaver, took us through Utah, Wyoming and Denver where they had a chance to visit Bob’s Uncle Billy and Aunt Eileen.
