Building Our House

April 5th, 2010 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, dave, family, random

(Click here for larger image)
As I’m sure many of you know, we moved into an apartment last June with the plan to sell our existing home, find a good piece of land, and build ourselves a house. It took a little longer to get started than we’d hoped, but we finally got our hole dug [...]

October

January 18th, 2010 · 5 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, random, spencer, tina

In the spirit of catching up…
This past October (2009) we decided, nearly on a whim, to pack up and take a trip to California/Disneyland.
Disneyland is always a fun place, and it seemed like good timing where we were out from under our mortgage payment, and hadn’t starting building the house yet.
We went the week before [...]

Once upon a blog…

January 18th, 2010 · 2 Comments · a day in the life, random

You know, there was a time on this blog where I wrote something (anything) every single day - or at least most every day. Those days seem to be a thing of the past, and though I miss having new content on my blog daily, I find that I lack the motivation to actually put [...]

Do you know what we did this summer?

November 7th, 2009 · 9 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, domestic attempts, family, high school, random, siblings, spencer, tina

Its no secret that I am further behind on my blogging than I have ever been before. The thought of catching up one post at a time was quite daunting, and just pretending like the last several months never happened (and not blogging about them at all) didn’t seem right either.
So, I went through my [...]

Character Pancakes

August 5th, 2009 · 4 Comments · domestic attempts, family, food, random

Since you all asked…
I went ahead and posted my dad’s recipe for Pantry Pancakes on The Slotted Spoon. You’re welcome.
It should be noted that the character pancakes from my “Grandpa’s Pancakes” post can acutually be made with any pancake batter, as long as its thin enough to flow from the tip of the squeeze bottle. [...]

Landslide in Logan’s “Island”

July 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment · random

My friend, Michelle, lives in the area of the island affected by yesterday’s canal break and landslide.
Her home was spared, but many of her friends and ward members were evacuated, and their homes flooded. She posted some information on her blog, but I thought I would repost it here for those that were unaware of [...]

UP

June 6th, 2009 · 4 Comments · bridget, dave, family, random, tina

We took Bridget to see the new 3D Pixar flick earlier this week, UP.
It was a pretty cool movie, and it was kinda fun to wear the 3D glasses too!
Bridget was a little scared a couple of times, particularly when the “bad guys” (and scary dogs) got a little too close for comfort - ah, [...]
