Sam’s attendance

Sam missed only 2 days of class in 4th grade. Good enough to get an attendance award. I’m not sure he was too happy about getting his picture taken in front of the class. Next stop, 5th grade.

Summer Trip – Les Miserables, Aladdin, and the 4th of July

Some other highlights of our trip included attending Les Miserables at the Utah Shakespeare Festival. Les Miserables isn’t exactly Shakespeare fare but I’m glad they staged it nonetheless.

Then I got a new job right after graduation so that was a distraction. But it’s finally time to stop… Continue reading Catching Up

New Pool Table

Now that our basement is finished, we have enough space for a game room. What game room is complete without a pool table? It was fun to learn about tables and go shopping with Nancy. Neither of us are any good at pool but we figured it would be something fun to have for the… Continue reading New Pool Table
