Where the sidewalk ends

BYUFan and I have started walking every morning so we can start getting into shape. On our way home today we walked past this sign which made me chuckle. I wondered why anyone would need a sign when they had their eyes to see the obvious. Then I realized that this sign was there because… Continue reading Where the sidewalk ends

Buddy’s haircut

At the beginning of last week BYUFan told Samuel that he would give him a haircut. Those of you who know BYUFan, you know that he didn’t do it right away because of his busy schedule. Day after day Samuel asked him if he would do it. Finally on Friday night BYUFan got the clippers… Continue reading Buddy’s haircut

Bon Voyage Cousins

The plan for Saturday was to spend all day doing yard work. I started out well and got a lot done but by noon it was so hot that I decided to pack it in and quit early. Fortunately, the second half of the day was much more fun than the first because Kelly called… Continue reading Bon Voyage Cousins

Grandma Connie’s Birthday

I’m personally a bit skeptical about how much business we’ll actually generate by coming to this convention. Government agencies are notoriously slow and are usually underfunded. In addition, the purchasing process in many states is a… Continue reading Greetings from Orlando

First day of kindergarten

Today was the fourth time I have taken someone for their first day of kindergarten. Samuel was so excited for school to start today he got all ready two hours before he was to go and after that he kept bugging me asking, “can we go yet?” It was a relief when it was time… Continue reading First day of kindergarten

Tooth Tale

Caroline’s front tooth has been loose for quite a while now although she has such short stubby little teeth that they don’t wiggle much even when they’re loose. I wiggled it last night and decided that it was finally time to come out. I subscribe to the plain and simple yank-the-tooth-out-with-dental-floss method. None of those… Continue reading Tooth Tale
