I don’t know if I’m hard to give to or not but now that my siblings have drawn names I figure I’ll publish a list of what I want/need for Christmas. In addition, I’ll have Nancy start making a list as well so I don’t have to try and read her mind each year. We’ll… Continue reading All I Want For Christmas
Saturday Project – Part 2
The other project for today was giving Sam a haircut. He was starting to look a little shaggy. I’ve always been the one to cut Sam’s hair. I think he’s only had a regular haircut once in his life. And when I cut hair there is only one possible outcome – a total and complete… Continue reading Saturday Project – Part 2
Saturday Project
My big project for today was to hang Christmas lights. I’m terrified of heights and ever since we moved into this house I’ve been thinking about how I was going to hang lights on such a high roof. I even investigated paying one of those lighting companies to come out and do it but the… Continue reading Saturday Project
Indian Princess
In the past few years I have not been able to spend much time sewing because of such things as taking care of 5 kids, building and moving into a new home etc. Just lately though the sewing bug has come back since I made Sam’s costume for Halloween. BYUFan’s sister Kelly asked me if… Continue reading Indian Princess
Comment Roundup
Responses to recent comments: What does “the drumline looks good Danny!” mean? One of my neighbors coaches the drumline for the BYU marching band. Although I don’t suppose that he reads this blog, he is aware of it’s existence. Thus, I thought I would give him a shout out just in case he is bored… Continue reading Comment Roundup

I’m glad that our audience, while limited, is devoted. Whenever we don’t post for a while we get comments like these: Dudes, I’m sure you guys are still trying to get back into a routine after your big vacation and are blogged out from your fabulous disney posts, but…. When are we going to get… Continue reading Meeting The Demands Of Our Loyal Readers
A Thursday Night Game
I don’t like Thursday night games as a general practice but it’s fun to have one every once in a while. The main problem with weekday games is traffic. On a Saturday game I leave 1.5 hours before kickoff and usually have plenty of time to spare – time to see the band march up… Continue reading A Thursday Night Game
We’re Puzzled
Nancy and I have been working on a 5000 piece puzzle for a couple of months now. We worked on it here and there whenever we got a little free time. Unfortunately, small kids and 5000 piece puzzles don’t mix together very well. We would often catch Samuel and Diana playing with the puzzle pieces… Continue reading We’re Puzzled
Halloween
The wierd thing about this Halloween was the fact that daylight savings time hadn’t ended yet. This means that it was still broad daylight when the earlybirds came trick-or-treating at 5:00. I hate daylight savings. I wish Utah would join Arizona and Hawaii and not have daylight savings. This year was Nancy’s turn to take… Continue reading Halloween
Carving Pumpkins
It’s the Monday night before Halloween. What should we do for Family Home Evening? Why, carve pumpkins of course! The girls are old enough to carve their own pumpkins without us worrying too much about them cutting off their fingers. Thus, my role is now limited to gutting the pumpkins. Fortunately, this is a duty… Continue reading Carving Pumpkins
