Happy birthday to my first Young Woman!
Megan turned 12 today. This is a pretty special birthday for her because it means she gets to advance into Young Womens in our church and leave behind Primary (kids 3-11). She has always been mature for her age so this transition will be so good for her. I expect to see a lot of …

I was a Millionaire
I was a millionaire yesterday. Unfortunately, it was only for about 10 seconds. Now, I’m broke. Again. I had a check in my hand, payable to me, from an organization that wouldn’t have a problem cashing the check. The amount was for $1,572,320.00. So, how did this happen? It was a scout reimbursement with a …
Daddy Daughter Skate Date
A couple weeks ago Katelyn and Megan got to take their dear old dad ice skating. It was arranged through their Activity Days program as the big annual activity, and they were both very excited when the day finally came. We got to go up to the Murray ice rink and skate for a couple …
First Priesthood Session
Now that Jacob is a deacon, he can come along with Grandpa Mike and I to the Priesthood Session of General Conference. Since it was his first time, we decided to beg for tickets and try to go to the actually session instead of viewing the broadcast like we normally do. Our bishop had two …
