Potty Talk, Volume VIII

March 30th, 2009 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, bridget

For those of you unfamiliar, Potty Talk is my ongoing series on the joys of potty training. The first installment was in January 2008, soon after we began potty training with Bridget. Between January and June 2008, a total of seven posts were dedicated to the process. Since then, the potty news fell silent. Until […]

Audit Time

March 29th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Uncategorized

I have to perform a self-audit on my photo business, and turn in my findings to the Utah State Tax Commission. Hello?! Intimidating. And annoying. Seriously, its not high on the list of things I’d like to make time for. Actually, its not on the list at all. Ha! Well, wish me luck as I […]

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 […]

Look Alikes

March 25th, 2009 · 2 Comments · bridget, dave, family, random, spencer, tina

After all the comments on yesterday’s post about our kids looking just like Dave, I thought I’d post some more comparisons. I do agree that both of them look more like Dave than they do me… but the side-by-side comparisons are still pretty interesting!! (Also note the side-by-side Bridget/Spencer comparison from an earlier post) Tina […]

Happy Birthday, Love!

March 24th, 2009 · 4 Comments · dave

Dave turned 29 years old yesterday! We had a fun couple of days celebrating. On Sunday we invited one of his friends over for dinner, and Monday night our little family lit a candle and sang to him… and the whole thing was Dharma-themed (more on that later). We had a good time. I was […]

The Slotted Spoon

I *AM* Bakerella

March 19th, 2009 · 4 Comments · domestic attempts, food, random

Ok. So, I’m not really Bakerella. But I assume you already knew that. She’s amazing. Her cake pops, cupcake pops, cupcake bites, and basically everything else she makes is awesome. She is incredibly talented, and I love to look at her site and pretend I could make such cool looking things. If you haven’t visited […]

Making Friends

March 17th, 2009 · 4 Comments · bridget, domestic attempts, random

A few weeks ago I was looking for a fun project Bridget and I could do together, and I found myself on this website that has really cool paper dolls that you can download and color. I particularly like them because the dolls looked like young kids (or babies) rather than grown-up looking teens. The […]

Sick kid (and Validation video)

March 15th, 2009 · 2 Comments · bridget, random

Bridget has spent the last couple of days sick. The poor girl has had a stomach ache and a fever (it got up to 104 on Friday). All she wanted was to held, and she actually asked to take naps/go to bed. Surprisingly she even felt bad enough to turn down offers of Popsicles and […]
