Our school district runs a summer camp for to-be sixth-graders. None of our older kids have ever been involved, but Katelyn had some friends going so we thought we’d check it out this year. When investigating whether Katelyn should join her friends we found out several key points about Clear Creek. Several parents we talked …

Girls can backpack too
Megan turns 13 here in a couple weeks. Katelyn is 11. The weather forecast was perfect, and there weren’t any other conflicts, so we decided to head out on their first overnight backpacking trip. The girls seemed pretty excited to go. I gave them general directions of what to bring and what not to bring, …
Happy 11th Birthday Katelyn!
It wasn’t Katelyn’s turn for a friend party this year so I downplayed it and just told her we would have cake and ice-cream in the evening. Little did she know, I had planned on checking her out and taking her to lunch and then to “Color Me Mine”. She has been dying to go …
A desk for a doll
Katelyn is quite creative. She has always been interested in any artistic project, but this is one that she did all on her own. On Saturday, Katelyn came in from the garage with a jigsaw and two 8x8x2 pieces of wood. She was wearing oversized gardening gloves and ski goggles. She asked me, “Dad, if …
Spring Choir Concert
Both Katelyn and Claire joined the Highland Children’s Choir this year. Katelyn has always loved singing. She easily picks up on pitches and tones and such. Claire likewise loves to sing. Since she was a very little girl, I would often find her humming or singing while she played. Due to the sibling discount the …
Snowshoeing with the big kids
It’s been cold recently in Utah Valley, and we’ve had an early onslaught of inversion. So, I decided to head up into the mountains for some much-needed fresh air. Jacob, Megan, and Katelyn all decided to come along too. I have two sets of snowshoes, so Jacob used my other pair, and Megan and Katelyn …
Early Black Friday Shopping Haul
After we’d totally gorged ourselves on our deep-fried turkey, we sat around in a tryptophan-induced coma for a while, played some games, and let the kids watch a movie in Grandpa Gary’s office. As the evening went along, the kids grew restless and so to give Manina and her dad some time to chit-chat, I …
Happy 10th Birthday Katelyn Paige!
Sure enough, it is that time of year again that sweet Katelyn turns another year older. Didn’t that JUST happen not too long ago?! She is growing up far too fast. This was her year for a “friend” party and she wanted to have an art theme so we hired her art teacher to come …
Basketball has come and gone.
The three older kids have been busy playing lots of basketball over the past few months. Jake started back in October on a competition team so he has been playing for months and months. Megan and Katelyn both played Junior Jazz from January to March. The girls love playing basketball and they improve so much …
Happy Birthday Katelyn!
Our sweet KK turned nine this week. Wow, how time does fly! I can tenderly remember the day she was born. What a sweetheart! Although she has changed and is growing up quickly, I notice that some things haven’t changed. She still lets me hold her, cuddle her and she begs for back rubs at …
