Jake has been selected as the student body president of Mountain Ridge Junior High! He was involved in student council this year as an 8th grade representative. Jake has always been a good leader (he was president of his elementary school too), but being the MRJH president is another level altogether. He will need to …

Meadow Hot Springs
We went camping last weekend and had a blast. It is always a lot of work, but we usually have a great time together. The drive was pretty significant since we went all the way down to White Sand Mountain, just west of Meadow, UT. Uncle Bryan had been down there a few times with …
2014 April General Conference
We have a big family. When we had the opportunity to get six tickets to the Sunday morning session of LDS General Conference we snapped them up. We made arrangements for Drew and Ellie to hang out with Rachel and Spencer and their kids. The rest of us were excited to go attend conference all …
Ellie can ride a bike!
Letting go of the seat of the tiny bike and watching your little tike pedal along solo is one of those “parenting payback” milestones. Ellie might be slow when it comes to getting haircuts, but this last weekend she asked to go out and try her big-girl bike. After about 30 minutes of practice with …
Keep on reading, buddy
Drew and I went to the library yesterday. Our purpose was to check out a Pirates of the Caribbean movie (he’s really into pirates right now), but since we were there we checked out a couple books that would challenge him a little bit. He’s doing well in his kindergarten class, but the books he …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Seven: At Sea
Friday, February 7 After yesterday’s super-fun day in St. Lucia (which may have been the overall favorite day of the cruise), we were looking forward to a nice, relaxing day on the ship with very little itinerary. Unfortunately, our day started off too early. Room service came by and woke us up before we were …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Six: St. Lucia
Thursday, February 6 Manina and I were in charge activities on St. Lucia. We had booked a speedboat with Exodus charters who would take us down the west coast of St. Lucia. We had done a similar trip when we had visited this lovely isle before several years ago when Manina’s brother Derek got married, …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Five: Martinique
Wednesday, February 5 It wasn’t easy, but I convinced Manina to hang out with me on Martinique. She was disappointed to miss our planned hike, as was I. But, based on the insider information I’d received the previous night, I doubted we would be able to make that happen. So, she called our friends and …

2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Four: Antigua
Tuesday, February 4 I awoke early and went out to watch the sunrise. Caribbean sunrises don’t come along very often in my life, so I was determined to enjoy it. We were heading almost directly East, toward the island of Antigua, so I made my way to the very front of the ship and simply …
2014 Caribbean Cruise Day Three: St. Croix
Monday, February 3 We were roused from our solid slumber by room service bringing our eggs and fruit that we’d ordered the previous night. Waking to breakfast being delivered is something that I could really get used to. We ate the breakfast quickly and went to work out. Manina and I did a high-intensity 7-minute …
