I have been meaning to help Sam learn how to ride his bike without training wheels for a few months now, but only recently have I really put in some time with him. He is improving but not quite there yet. He will peddle for about two seconds until he thinks he’s going to fall… Continue reading He’s almost there
Fiddling with my camera
The other night I noticed there was a pretty full moon outside so I wanted to get a good picture of it. The only problem is that my little camera is not quite good enough to get the picture of it. I took quite a few pictures and only one was even close to what… Continue reading Fiddling with my camera
Our first crop of the season
The beets were the first of our plants to sprout and the first ones we got to eat. BYUFan picked them and I washed and cooked them. We tried some of the greens for dinner but we decided that the beets themselves tasted a lot better than the greens. The only problem with eating beets… Continue reading Our first crop of the season
Garden Invasion
South Jordan is putting in streetlights in for the street behind our house so they had to dig a hole under the back fence to put wiring through. I couldn’t quite explain to BYUFan what they did so I took a couple of pictures. When they finally put in landscaping on the other side of… Continue reading Garden Invasion
Diana’s Birthday
A couple of months ago it was Diana’s birthday and I forgot to post some pictures. Even though she didn’t have a friend party like Sam she still had fun opening presents and eating cake and ice cream with her family.
Spring Flowers
I thought it would be cool to take some close up pictures of the flowers in our yard so maybe at a later date I could blow them up and make some cool artwork for my walls. I am not a very good photographer so I wasn’t too sure if they would look good, but… Continue reading Spring Flowers
Bad Allergies
The grass pollen count in Utah has been off the charts lately. Here is today’s count: You can get the daily count from the Intermountain Asthma and Allergy website. On Saturday I was at the kids soccer games (last games of the season – hooray!) but it was windy and I couldn’t stop sneezing. It… Continue reading Bad Allergies
Spring Recital
Last week we went to the girls spring piano recital. Grandpa Kent and Grandma Connie were in town and able to come and the kids were excited to have them there. Texas was up first. She played Colors of the Wind by Menken and Stuck on C by Vandall Texas I generally like what their… Continue reading Spring Recital
A Surprise in the Window Well
This afternoon as I was headed outside to get the garbage can and put it away, my next door neighbor called me over to look inside her window well and see what was inside. I peeked in and I saw what looked like a big ball of fur. My neighbor didn’t really know what it… Continue reading A Surprise in the Window Well
Leaving Las Vegas
I’m sitting in McCarran airport. It’s 102 degrees outside; probably 80 degrees inside. Plane is 1.5 hours late. Airport is crowded. I’m tired. People are cranky. What a way to end a long day. I flew in this morning for a quick technical conference (why is it so popular these days to start conferences and… Continue reading Leaving Las Vegas
