Wind Caves

May 21st, 2008 · 9 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, tina

In support of Tina’s brief siesta from blogging, I have decided to keep you all somewhat entertained by sharing with you some information of our Monday’s FHE activity. (Yes, this is Dave. Tina is on a blog vacation. The previous post called Photosynth/Seadragon was also from me. I assure you, however, that any messages left […]

Photosynth/Seadragon

May 18th, 2008 · 3 Comments · dave, techno geeks

Okay this is a seriously geeky post. The technology is so wonderful, though, that I had to share. Watch this video: http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/view/id/129. Can you imagine, using the pictures that I took on our family trip to Disneyland this past week and dropping them into this worldwide picture collection? The concept of browsing through such an […]

Foam Beads

May 17th, 2008 · 2 Comments · bridget

Two weeks ago, Bridget and I were at the dollar store and I let her choose one toy. She picked these foam beads that you string. She’s strung things before… wooden beads, and fruit loops… but I guess that foam beads were a fun new challenge and provided just enough variation to re-peak her interest. […]

Music Videos: Hold On

May 16th, 2008 · 1 Comment · college life, music videos, the hottest girls at USU

This next music video was shot by one of my roommates during a trip down to St. George. Several of my roommates went with a few of our friends. I didn’t make it on that trip, but I love the video because its totally random and spontaneous. Its fun that there are so many people […]

Team Fortress 2

May 15th, 2008 · 2 Comments · dave, techno geeks

Dave here. Awhile back, I purchased a collection of games by Valve. The collection of games included: Portal, Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1, Half-Life 2: Episode 2, Half-Life 2: Lost Coast, and Team Fortress 2. I posted previously about Portal (with a promise to post again about the game’s ending). This post is about […]

Draw

May 14th, 2008 · 8 Comments · bridget

Probably about a year ago we bought a magna doodle for Bridget. Its just one of those small ones (travel/sacrament meeting sized). She calls it her ‘draw’ – “I need my draw” or “Mom, where is my draw.” She kind of goes in phases where she uses it all the time or neglects it for […]

Potty Talk, Volume VI

May 13th, 2008 · 4 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

Since the last Potty Talk post things have improved quite a bit. Bridget had been in a bit of a slump, and I think that she was loosing hope that she’d ever get another PEZ dispenser. We decided to try for sort of a mini goal and award her a PEZ dispenser after only 3 […]

Erin & Sam

May 12th, 2008 · 2 Comments · college life, the funniest people we know

My roommate, Erin, got married on Saturday in the San Diego temple. It was so fun to see her again. The ceremony was beautiful. I got the privilege of being her photographer for her Bridals and for the wedding day. It was so fun, and its so gorgeous out there. I’ll post pictures in a […]

Dixie

May 10th, 2008 · 2 Comments · family, siblings, tina

Today is my youngest sister’s birthday. She is 15 now. I can’t believe it. Dixie and I are 12 years apart in age, so she’s always been the baby of the family. Now she’s big and grown up. And watch out, because in one more year she’ll be on the road. When she was little […]
