Good day for math!

Well, I just thought i would let everyone know that i won the factoring bee at UVU. I got first place along with a cash prize. It was pretty cool. I wasn't even intending to win, just doing it for the extra credit in math. The problem i won on was as follows:

(27x^3-1)

and since i remembered the following formula, (a^3 + b^3) = (a + b)(a^2 – ab + b^2), I was able to solve the problem. It was cool. I am glad too, because I think this is just about the first anything that i have ever won (aside from various awards and stuff in school, church and what not). To be more specific, the first competition I've gotten first in.

Anyways...

Emma's Party!

Well, last saturday we celebrated Emma's birthday party. We kept it pretty simple, just cake, icecream and presents with family and friends. We failed to get any pictures of Emma blowing out the candles, but Ali will put some up in a day or two, from her parents SD card.

Oh, also...congrats to Dan and Brandi who had their little baby girl the very next day!
