With four kids playing soccer, Saturdays are pretty much shot during the months of May and June. Nancy and I take turns transporting the kids back and forth to the soccer field because the games are spread out all through the day. Today we had two games at 11:00, one at 2:00 and one at… Continue reading Soccer, Soccer, Soccer, and More Soccer

Home Improvement
When we bought the house we debated whether we should spring for plantation shutters on all the windows. We eventually decided against spending the money and figured we would put up venetian blinds ourselves which are significantly cheaper. We did all of the windows in the house shortly after moving in but left the french… Continue reading Home Improvement
Go Bees Go
The summer months aren’t usually that fun from a sports standpoint but May has been pretty good what with the Jazz in the playoffs. Tonight the Jazz were idle so I went to a Salt Lake Bees game with some guys from work. Thursdays are “Thirsty Thursdays” where all beer is only $2.00 so it’s… Continue reading Go Bees Go
Go Jazz Go
Lately I’ve been going over to a friend’s house to watch the Jazz games on TV. (We haven’t had any TV service since moving in back in December. I’ll hold out as long as I can but I’ll probably break down and get TV during football season. )I haven’t been a big Jazz fan since the… Continue reading Go Jazz Go
Les Mis Review
No, this isn’t the kind of review that you would read in a newspaper – this are just my thoughts on the date Nancy and I went on last night. Last night was also the Great Rocky Hannity Debate at the University of Utah’s Kingsbury Hall which isn’t too far from Pioneer Memorial Theatre so Nancy and I… Continue reading Les Mis Review
Les Miserables
Back in October 2006, I got an email from Zions Bank saying that there was a special offer for ccustomers to buy tickets to Pioneer Theatre Company’s production of Les Miserables before tickets went on sale to the general public. Nancy’s birthday was coming up and I figured it would be a nice gift for… Continue reading Les Miserables
Diana’s Heart Checkup
This past Tuesday we took Diana to Primary Children’s Medical Center for her six month cardiac checkup. They did both the EKG and the cardiac ultrasound.  Last time Diana had to be sedated for the ultrasound because she was too wiggly. This time she held still with the aid of a supply of purple suckers and… Continue reading Diana’s Heart Checkup
Sushi Class
Nancy and I went to a sushi class tonight. We both love sushi and thought it would be nice to learn how to make it at home.  The class was taught by Jim Light of Home Cooks Culinary Adventures and was held in the demonstration kitchens at Kimball Distributing in Salt Lake City. We covered a… Continue reading Sushi Class
Out with the old, in with the new
Welcome to the new home of our website – byufan.net. Why byufan.net? Well, we were tired of our old domain name – it was hard for people to remember and hard to verbally tell people our email address. “byufan.net” is short and easy to remember. Best of all, it was available – so we took it.
New Furniture
Nancy and I decided we wanted to have a decorator help us do the front room. We wanted something that was elegant but not too formal, some seating where people could listen to the piano, and a place to store piano music that would hide the ugly music (music always gets beat up and dog-eared… Continue reading New Furniture
