I love my girls.

So no, this is not a black eye. Brynlie will be 2 in a few days and loves getting into her mom's make-up.



Linsey, apparently likes to sleep in plastic boxes. She is crate trained. :)

I am a child of God

One of the most valuable pieces of knowledge we have is the knowledge that we are literally sons and daughters of God, our Heavenly Father. Here is Alissa and her cousin singing "I am a child of God".

"burp!" "MeMe"

Let me translate. "MeMe" means excuse me after I burp. Brynlie has learned and mastered the "burp." Makes a dad proud. :)

Sticking your hand in your back pocket, the thing to do.

I was watching Alissa's T-ball game. It appears that sticking your hand in your back pocket is the "in" thing to do. :)







Alissa hitting the ball. I really like baseball. It is great as a parent to see the confidence boost when your kid hits the ball and gets on base.

really? 10 secs

I was staying in a hotel in San Francisco and I noticed a tray of goodies on the table. They were on a scale. If you took a goody, it would bill you within 10 seconds. I decided it was not worth trying to see if it really worked. It would have been fun though trying to trick the system. What if I put a heavy book on the scale, then ate the candy I wanted, then go and buy the candy down at Walgreens for cheaper, replace it, then take the heavy book off the scale? Would I have out smarted the system? I didn't try it, but should have.

North Carolina, cool place

A couple of months ago, I had a business trip to Raleigh, North Carolina. All I can say, is trees, trees, and more trees. It was so green there. Not like dry Utah. I also had a chance have some great carolina ribs. I was introduced to a cool band called the "Carolina Chocolate Drops." They were very good. Since I've started taking violin lessons, I have a love for fiddle music.

Mother's Day

Breakfast in Bed is tradition in our family. It is cool to see the girls get old enough to make breakfast for mom. Hey, maybe I can pull off staying in bed and getting breakfast with Stacie.
