What do you like on your pizza? Socks? Cats? Baseball Bats? One of the songs on Singing Time, called the Silly Pizza Song, combines food items not commonly found on pizza – in song – to make a very silly pizza. The tune is pretty catchy, and we find ourselves singing it often. Lately though, […]

Tina and I have varying needs regarding having a reliable backup solution for our computer-related/techno-geek sort of needs. For me, I like to store all of our media for the Apple TV, as well as have a reliable backup solution for any of the projects/files I drum up. Basically, I like knowing that everything in […]

Horsepower vs. Kid Power

February 7th, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, bridget, family

With all the snow we’ve gotten around here lately Dave has kept pretty busy with his snow blower. The thing is a beast. An 8HP beast. I can’t control the beast, it takes over. Dave has to do it. But he likes it, so its okay. Look at that smile. Bridget really enjoys standing in […]

A gentle breeze

When I was in college and people would ask, “Where do you plan to go after graduation?” I would answer, “Where ever the wind blows.” Similar was asked when Dave graduated – the answer was the same. But how do we know when the wind is really blowing? Do we jump at the slightest breeze? […]

One of the blessings of the Church that Christ restored to the earth through the Prophet Joseph Smith is the blessing of having a LIVING Prophet to lead and guide us.

Daddy Daughter Date, +1

February 3rd, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, bridget, family

Every now and then Dave takes Bridget on a “daddy-daughter date.” She loves the opportunity to spend the one-on-one time with her dad, and she knows that it usually means they get to go somewhere fun. Last Wednesday Dave and Bridget were planning to go on one of these dates while I was at the […]

Funeral Services for President Gordon B. Hinckley

February 2nd, 2008 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I testify that President Hinckley was indeed God’s Prophet. Our family was deeply saddened by his passing. The joy of Christ’s gospel as taught in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, however, continues to provide hope and peace. Together, we lift our hearts in thanking our loving Father in Heaven for blessing us […]

Banana Muffins

February 2nd, 2008 · No Comments · a day in the life, food

My mom made these pretty regularly when I was growing up. And I love them. They are fast, easy, and an excellent way to use up overripe bananas. I prefer them with nuts (chopped pecans), but they are good without nuts too. Banana Nut Muffins 1 cup flour 1/2 cup sugar 2 1/2 t. baking […]

Anniversary

One year ago today, we began writing a monthly family newsletter! And every month since then our family and friends have received it via e-mail. Neither Dave nor I are very good at keeping a regular journal, but we thought that if we started a newsletter that we would not only be making some progress […]
