This week, my mom sent us a Spring/Easter package which contained some cards, candy, books, stickers, and more. We've been enjoying all that was inside the package, but we've had an unusual amount of fun with the cardboard box it came in.
When you don't have a lot of toys laying around, and you're stuck at home because you don't have a car yet (more on this in a future post), you tend to get ve...

My mornings recently have been a lot busier than usual, because I'm preparing to launch a new design for my main business, Music Teacher's Helper. I'm really excited about it because it will make the program look much more updated and clean.

For the last several weeks, we have been thinking about taking a 2-3 week road trip across Idaho, Oregon, down the California coast, and back through Nevada. We wanted to get up where it's a little cooler during the hot Utah August, give our new car some exercise, and spend time together seeing some new places. I was especially exci...

Here are some of the funny things my three-year old daughter Marie has said lately.
(At dinner time)
Marie: Ewww. This food looks yucky!
Daddy: Let's not say it's yucky. Mommy made it, and we should be thankful. Marie, will you say the prayer?
Marie: Heavenly Father, we're thankful for this yucky food...

Since coming back from Panama, Jennifer and I have been amazed at how quickly life has hit us! It seems there is no end to the distractions that take us away from our family, and our focus on what's m...
