Older son is filling out college applications. Yes, really. I somehow became old enough to have a son that is old enough to be getting ready for college in the fall. It is strange that he is doing all of these things that I so vividly remember doing. It doesn’t seem like it has been
I’m tired, sore, and happy. I just spent an incredibly fun weekend with the love of my life. Â We ditched our sons and flew out to Oregon to spend a few days on the coast. We walked on the beach. Â A lot. Â A whole lot. Â We went kayaking on a tidal river. Â We visited a
Younger Son’s Birthday was yesterday. Â For his Birthday, he wanted ribs. Â I, of course, used this as another opportunity to use my new smoker. I found a recipe called BRITU.

Last week I spent a few days on the Green River with my son. (And with a few other people… It was the “high adventure” trip for the Varsity Scouts in my Ward.) It was a REALLY fun trip. Â We put in at the State Park in Green River City and we got out at
I don’t think I’m ready for this. My older son turned 16 years old today. I took him to the Driver License Division this morning where he received his driver license. It’s crazy. It doesn’t seem like it could possibly be 16 years ago that he came into our lives. At the time he was
I’ve been away from computers for a little while. Sure, I got online a couple of times to check tides or download camera software, but other than that… I was blissfully AWAY. We spend a week in Lincoln City, Oregon. From the time we arrived until the time we left, I don’t think it got
I’m starting to wonder if there’s a discount at the InstaCare. “Come back and see us soon, because your fifth visit is FREE!” Older son had to go to the InstaCare last night. I was at the Hale Centre Theatre in West Valley City with younger son. I was supposed to take my wife, but
