A lot of people have asked me how much it cost me to make these costumes. And honestly, I hadn’t kept very good track. I went into the project estimating that it’d cost me between $300 and $400, and planning to enter as many costume contests as I could to hopefully recoup the amount I’d […]

As some of you may know, we decided to be Monsters Inc. characters for Halloween this year. For more than a year now people have told us that Bridget looks like Boo from Monsters Inc., so we thought it would be a fun thing to do. You may remember my previous post, and the call […]

I haven’t done a post like this for awhile. Since I have far more pictures than I have time to write about them, I thought it would be a great opportunity. They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. Here are ten. I added captions… but what do they say to you??? “I can do […]

This camping trip marked the third (see the first & second) for us this summer! Which, with Dave’s school schedule, proved […]

The 24th of July ended up being a crazy, busy day… but it was tons of fun! After breakfast Bridget and I headed out with Lee Ann to try and gather a few more photos for our ward directory. At 10:30 we went to story time. At 11:00 we headed up to the Logan City […]

Two Hundred

As coincidence would have it, I decided a couple of days ago to look and see how many posts I had so far. My count was as 198. I missed my 100 post milestone, so I thought I should probably do something a bit special/different for post #200. Though, I think a larger milestone for […]
