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
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?

After the walk I mowed the lawn while Nancy made brunch. I ate brunch on the back patio with the birds… Continue reading Another Great Saturday
Saturday Chores
Today was devoted to getting the yard/garden ready for winter. We didn’t plant a garden this year because we were busy putting the ladscaping in during the spring but we plan to have a great garden next year. This summer the garden had accumulated a very healthy growth of weeds including the two worst kind… Continue reading Saturday Chores
Miss Caroline Goes To a Party
Caroline got an invitation to a birthday party. She was so excited because she usually watches her older sisters go to birthday parties or else gets to go with them but this time she was going all by herself. Nancy helped her choose a present for her friend and wrap it up. She couldn’t stop… Continue reading Miss Caroline Goes To a Party
Backseat Shopping
Lori called me a few days ago and asked my advice about buying a piano. I really enjoyed shopping for my own piano 4 years ago and was only too happy to throw my two cents into the mix when invited. I advised Lori to get The Piano Book. Its advice on pianos, their cost… Continue reading Backseat Shopping
My Favorite Saturday
College Football season is finally here again – my favorite time of year. There are few experiences I enjoy more than going to a BYU Football game. Today the Cougars played Arizona from the PAC-10. I had picked BYU to win but I was still nervous because the Cougs are breaking in a new quarterback… Continue reading My Favorite Saturday
