My daughters are in kindergarten this year. Today we got our first call from their teacher. Apparently, Aubrey pinched someone. Callie said that Aubrey realized when her teacher called and ran and hid under the bed. I guess she had to ‘pull a card’ at school which is a lot like being sentenced to 15…

Our Tax Date
Tonight was the first time since September that I and Callie have been alone, together, outside of the house. We were able to spend 15 minutes eating a Quiznos sub in a gas station in Tremonton, UT. After that we visited our accountant (The best accountant in the world – Michael Bruce in Tremonton) and…
Family Search Conference
I am at the FamilySearch conference at BYU today which means that I had to get up at 5:30 this morning which is one my least favorite things in the world. Luckily caffeine is my friend and I managed to stay awake for the drive down. I did discover this morning that my truck’s top…
A Life Of Service
I attended my great uncle Wes’s funeral today. I never like the idea of going to funerals but every time I go I am glad I did. I didn’t spend a lot of time around Uncle Wes. Mostly I would see him at family events at my grandmother’s (He is my Grandmother Della’s brother.) The…
Weddings So Totally Suck
Weddings suck. Everything about them, surrounding them and having to do with them is really quite inane. Although I am sure I will take a lot of crap for writing this which may or may not result in a dissolution of a certain matrimony which required such an event, I am going to do it…
You’re Welcome
Aubrey has been really good lately. Callie told her, “thank you for having such a good attitude.” She replied, “Thanks .., “ then whispered, “whatever that means.”
Target
On the way back from Salt Lake we stopped at Target because we always do – there isn’t one in Logan. Target is a more interesting shopping experience than Walmart. Target has stuff that is more cosmopolitan than us country bumpkins be gettin at Wally World. One of the things they have, that I love…
The Flower Shop In Logan
My brother and sister in law bought the flower shop in Logan (Utah). It is always scary to start up a new business even when you are buying an existing one. My brother is even learning how to build web pages (he is the ‘webmaster’). After all these years of me trying to convince him…
It’s Like Pulling Teeth
Aubrey lost a tooth a couple of weeks ago. It was loose. We were eating dinner. She wanted an apple. I gave it to her. She took one bite and disappeared into the bathroom. We figured – you know, natured called. She didn’t come back. Callie found her crying. The first bite into the apple…
Visited the Tetons
I grew up in southeast Idaho which is in close proximity to Jackson Hole, Wy and Grand Teton National Park. When I was a kid (I am going bald and my back is causing me problems so I get to say that now), we would visit “the park” 5 or more times a year. Now…
