Food Challenges – My New Hobby
Ok, so I’ve always wondered about the food challenges that you always see in restrauntants. It usually consists of: Eat “insert massive amount of food” and get your picture on the wall and a free t-shirt. It intrigues me. I have always been able to eat entire cows in one sitting and why not get…
Read MorePorter’s Place
Today is Ami’s birthday. We celebrated yesterday by going swimming at this really cool pool and doing other stuff. For lunch we went to Porter’s Place. I’ve been dying to go there since I found out it existed. Porter’s Place is a restaurant that has been handed down generation to generation through Orrin Porter Rockwell’s…
Read MoreSpringtime is Arriving
We have had an exciting couple of weeks. I’m trying to make it a goal to get out of the house with Simon and Ami as often as possible. Last week we decided to go see Stonehenge. As famous as it is we weren’t super impressed, but Simon had a good time climbing on the…

As you will see by the pictures below Simon & I enjoyed the first day of spring. We celebrated by making our back yard appear as it did in the fall. I used the leaf blower to blow all the leaves off of the back fence area into the grass where we will in turn…

This is the view I woke up to on Saturday morning. I went on a ice fishing trip with the young men from the church this weekend. We went to the current creek reservoir which is close to strawberry reservoir in central Utah. The first adventure came when one of the boys informed me that…
Read MoreLife Continues
The last few weeks have been adventurous for us. Last weekend we were in Wyoming for the funeral of Cathy Higgins; the mother of Allison Higgons who is a good friend of Ami’s. The trip went smoothly, but was less than super happy. Our family has been sick of late. The cycle goes like this.…
Read MoreI’m a bad father
When I’m babysitting Simon but still need to get work done I just put on one of his favorite Baby Einstein DVDs on in my office. He will just sit there and watch for about forever. Don’t anyone tell Ami!
