Rain Money

July 2nd, 2008 · 2 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

For the past several months we’ve been giving Bridget spare change here and there. We taught her what a penny, nickel, dime, and quarter look like. She can distinguish between the different coins, but she really has no concept of the value of the coins (She would happily trade you a dime for a couple […]

Ward Campout

June 24th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, tina

Father’s Day weekend was our ward camp out. I’m a little behind on reporting on it. Sorry about that. In any case, the camping trip was lots of fun, and I was really impressed by the number of people that came. For the past 3 years I was part of the activities committee, making me […]

Insanity

June 23rd, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

Please. Help me. This has to end. Its insanity. I can’t seem to find a method that works to get Bridget to stop pooping her pants. She is averaging once a day. She lies to me about it, and she tries to hide it. When I ask her point blank if she needs to use […]

Potty Talk, Volume VII

June 20th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

You would think I would finally be finished reporting on the bathroom habits of my toddler… but sometimes it just seems like we are still not quite there. Let me just start by saying that Bridget had been accident free for over a month… until recently. We were pretty excited for her, and even stopped […]

Boiled to death

June 18th, 2008 · 8 Comments · a day in the life, family, random

So, we killed our fish. It really was unintentional. And pretty sad. For those of you that don’t know we had 5 (very large) fish in our 44 gallon tank. They were probably all between 6 and 8 inches in length. Two of them – the sucker fish – had been around longer than I […]

California – Day 11

June 15th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, tina

Day 11 (Saturday, May 17th) Homeward Bound. Not much to report here. Our first flight left San Diego at 12:30 in the afternoon… between layovers and time changes we finally made off the airplane in Salt Lake a little after 7:00 at night. It was a long day. First Flight: A funny story… we had […]

California – Day 10

Day 10 (Friday, May 16th) Last Day at Disneyland. Friday morning we woke up and headed up toward Disneyland, stopping on the way at the Anaheim Mission Office, to drop off a little note for Elder Hedin. We also hit a couple of Geocaches in the area, and dropped in to Krispie Kreme. Then off […]

California – Day 9

June 13th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, tina

Day Nine (Thursday, May 15th) Legoland. Having skipped Sea World the day before I think we would have chosen to go there instead of Legoland, if we hadn’t already purchased our tickets. We learned (through online research) that you can purchase a “BrickMaster” subscription through Lego.com that includes 6 sets of Legos, a subscription to […]

California – Day 8

June 12th, 2008 · 5 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, tina

Day Eight (Wednesday, May 14th) Day Eight was supposed to be Sea World. But I woke up that morning not feeling so well. I spent a good part of the morning in the bathroom causing all manner of foul and disgusting smells. Sorry if that’s too much information, but at least you didn’t have to […]
