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 …

Toroweap Overlook
I promised them an adventure they would never forget. And, maybe for the first time, I delivered. We were in Saint George for the long President’s Day weekend. I had wanted to go see the Grand Canyon at Toroweap Overlook, and everything was lining up nicely: the weather, the schedule, the preparations, everything was good. …
Pirate Day at Krispy Kreme!
Today is “Talk Like a Pirate” day at Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. I figured since Drew spends most of his days in his pirate costume, this would be perfect for him. He had to dress-up like a pirate and say something a pirate would say. Drew wasn’t a bit shy. He walked right up to the …
No more sugar for you!
We recently went in for our sixth month dental check-up as a family. Most everyone was cavity-free, which is generally the case minus one filling here or there, but this was definitely not the case this time. Our dentist found EIGHT, yes I said EIGHT, cavities in Drew’s mouth. My initial reaction was “Are you …
A good two months
A few months ago, we swapped out our Expedition for a 2009 Suburban. Manina searched KSL Classifieds and found a super-clean, extremely well taken care of Suburban. It was used solely as a road trip car by the original owner, had low, freeway-only miles on it, and could easily be mistaken for a new car. …
Mystery Outing
Seth works with Oracle through his job. Each year they do a party at Lagoon for customer appreciation. Only a few employees get to go each time and this year it was us! We were thrilled. The kids love Lagoon but it doesn’t justify the cost for our family of eight. It would cost us …
All I want for Christmas is…
Over the past couple weeks Claire has managed to wiggle her two front teeth right out of her mouth. Now she has the cutest gap in her smile. She loves to show it off to everyone she sees. Isn’t she cute?!
Bum cheeks for breakfast!
I woke up this morning to find Drew eating his cereal like this (You may need to click and enlarge the photo): I got a good chuckle out of it. I asked him why he was eating breakfast in the nude. He looked at me like I was dumb and said, “When I went potty …
Boys’ Homework
Jacob brought home a lot of his schoolwork today. This was amongst his assignments: Yep. That’s our boy. We’re so proud.
Driver license nightmare (part 3)
Note from Seth: if you haven’t read part 1 and part 2 of my driver license nightmare, you’ll want to start there. When I saw the outside of the envelope with a PennDOT return address I thought my nightmare was just about over. Finally, I could be cleared to get a driver license. Then I …
