Abigail Anne was born at 12:49 pm weighing in at 7 lbs 1 oz and was 19″ long. She had a gorgeous head of dark [...]

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 [...]

November

January 24th, 2010 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, food, siblings, spencer, tina

The highlights from November include Bridget’s 4th birthday and Thanksgiving.
For months, Dave had been teasing Bridget that we would be skipping her birthday and that she would have to stay 3 years old for another year. Her reactions varied from day to day. Either she knew he was kidding, or she was sincerely devastated. The [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

A long time coming…

Well, its officially been more than a month since my last blog post, and very likely my longest blogging hiatius to date. It was not my intention to stop blogging or drop off the face of the earth, I simpy haven’t had much time to breath much less blog. To say that life has been [...]

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, [...]

Pretend Graduation

May 15th, 2009 · 4 Comments · college life, dave, family

A couple of weeks ago we attended USU’s graduation ceremony up at the Spectrum. Dave walked, was hooded, and pretended to get his degree.
He won’t actually be finished with classes until the first part of June, but they let him participate in the graduation ceremony anyway. Its too bad it didn’t mean we were done [...]

Dog bites leg

April 25th, 2009 · 5 Comments · dave, random

Lucy escaped from our backyard on Monday while Dave was mowing the lawn. When he went out trying to find her he met another dog…
A bigger one.
With sharp teeth.
He was riding his scooter, and apparently spooked the dog.
The owner of the dog was really nice about it, and very apologetic. She told us that the [...]

Make Your Own Kind of Music

March 26th, 2009 · 6 Comments · dave, domestic attempts, food, random

I mentioned a couple of posts ago that we had a Dharma-themed ‘party’ for Dave’s birthday. I use the word ‘party’ pretty loosely since it was a rather intimate group - Dave’s not really into big parties. Sunday night we invited one of Dave’s good friends over. We visited, had dinner, sang, had Dave open [...]
