Today we did our first day at Disneyland. For me the fun of Disneyland starts with watching the excitement of the kids as we pull into the parking garage. They get increasingly excited as we board the tram and go in the front entrance. No matter how many times you’ve been to Disneyland, it’s always… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 4

California Vacation – Day 3
We considered going to Disneyland today but it was going to be hot so we decided to make today our day for going to the Getty Museum and the beach. The Getty Center (I think it’s officially known as “The Getty”) was about an hour away. We figured it would be a fairly small art… Continue reading California Vacation – Day 3
California Vacation – Day2
The least crowded days at Disneyland are supposed to be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday so we figured we would spend the first full day of our vacation just relaxing. The plan for this morning was to sleep in, hang out, and go swimming. The reality was fairly close to the plan with the exception that… Continue reading California Vacation – Day2
California Vacation – day 1
Today we set off on a weeklong vacation in California. Our first suprise was finding an inch of snow on the ground as we pulled out of the driveway. Our second surprise was driving down the street behind our house and noticing that someone had left the kids’ bathroom light on. After turning around to… Continue reading California Vacation – day 1
Nancy’s Birthday
Tonight we celebrated Nancy’s birthday by going on a date to the Market Street Grill and leaving the kids at home. We’re glad that a Market Street Grill opened up in South Jordan. In fact, we rarely go to a downtown restaurant these days (sushi being a notable exception – we haven’t found a good… Continue reading Nancy’s Birthday

I thought the kids would love it, not for just the maze, but because they could play with… Continue reading The corn maze
Stupid Bumper Sticker
Driving home from work tonight I spied a bumper sticker that said, “If animals could talk we would all be vegetarians” Could that bumper sticker be any stupider? If you don’t think it’s a stupid sentiment, consider the following: If plants could talk we would all be… Well, we would probably all be dead. A… Continue reading Stupid Bumper Sticker
On Comments and Commentors
Check out the new comment I got in the post about our couch: New Furniture. My thoughts on this were: 1. I like the couch 2. It’s good to get unbiased feedback even if the opinion expressed is different than my own. 3. The commentor doesn’t really know what I paid but I suppose one… Continue reading On Comments and Commentors
What’s Going On?
Well, everything and nothing at the same time. We’re busy working, going to school, running the household, etc; however, there isn’t anything really newsworthy going on. I went to Colorado Springs last week for a couple of days on business. I was planning on getting a picture of the Air Force Academy but unfortunately I… Continue reading What’s Going On?
First Snow
On the last Saturday of September we got two big surprises. Grandma and grandpa called us up and invited us to go out to lunch with them before they went out of town and we got our first snowfall of the season. The kids got to choose the place we went, so we went to… Continue reading First Snow
