The past few years the Activity Days group has had a daddy-daughter ice skating activity. I enjoy ice skating, although my ankles certainly don’t appreciate it the next day. In the past I’ve gone with Emily and Anne. This year was Caroline’s turn. Caroline is a rather timid ice skater at first but eventually she… Continue reading Ice Skating with Caroline
January Birthdays
Unfortunately for Caroline, it wasn’t her turn for a friend party this year so she had to share her birthday party with me. I guess that’s just the price you pay when your birthday is a day after your dads. On the plus side, you get to have two different kinds of cake!
Basketball and Bowling
Ever since Grandpa Kent went to Hong Kong, I haven’t bothered to get BYU basketball tickets. While I’m a fan of BYU Basketball, I’m not a big enough fan to want to go to games by myself and the number of games during the work week makes it hard to take Sam or other kids… Continue reading Basketball and Bowling
Emily’s Birthday 2010
By the time you’re 15, birthday’s in our house are a pretty low-key affair. You get a cake and a present or two but no party other than your family singing happy birthday. On the bright side, when you turn 15 you can now go out and get your learner’s permit. Emily hasn’t got learner’s… Continue reading Emily’s Birthday 2010
2010 Annual Christmas Lights Trip
Our annual trip downtown with Aunt Lori to see the Christmas lights. This has become a fun tradition.
‘Tis the Season
My kids have been asking me since before Thanksgiving when we were going to put up Christmas lights. The problem with Christmas lights is that I’m completely afraid of heights and can’t bear to get up on our roof again after the first time I put lights up several years ago. Last year I bought… Continue reading ‘Tis the Season
Halloween 2010
Halloween wasn’t a fancy affair this year. I was too busy with school to help much with costumes and the older girls were too busy being teenagers to care about trick-or-treating like the used to. In fact, we failed to take our traditional pictures with the kids in costume although Sam managed to snap a… Continue reading Halloween 2010
Snow Day
I am sure glad that I took care of the tomatoes yesterday because this is what my garden looked like today. A couple of days ago we had some snow, but not enough for the kids to play in. Luckily last nights storm brought in enough for the kids to enjoy!
Goodbye to Gardening
Since it is supposed to get to the freezing point tonight I decided it was time to get rid of all of the tomato plants. It was hard work especially because we had at least ten plants. Most of the tomatoes were still green, but I heard that they will ripen okay inside so I… Continue reading Goodbye to Gardening
My Startup Adventure
While life at Dataimage was good, I started to feel a bit stagnant and, although I hadn’t finished my Masters degree yet, decided to jump at the opportunity when a couple of former colleagues told me about a startup they were working at. I’ve worked for big companies and small companies and startups in the… Continue reading My Startup Adventure
