Don’t Tell Anyone

josh | January 4, 2009

This past Friday, Betsy decided to have some fun painting her fingernails and toenails. Apparently, she decided to help Ryan do his, as well.
I had forgotten about this until a few minutes ago when leaned over to me in church and said, “I’m still wearing blue girl nail polish on my toes. Don’t [...]

snowbound

josh | December 27, 2008

Man, there’s been a lot of snow lately.  We must have shoveled the driveway four different times on Christmas day alone.  It’s been snowing what seems to be non-stop since Tuesday night.  We have three + feet of snow stacked up on the east side of our driveway and about four feet piled up at [...]

This morning I was getting Ryan ready for church. He picked out the cutest sweater vest and button up shirt to wear. When I saw it I immediately remembered David loving that outfit too. I asked Ryan, “Do you know who used to wear that?”.

Then Ryan [...]

We picked up the kids’ Christmas present today. It’s a cocker spaniel puppy and we have named him Boone. He’s about six weeks old and is really really cute. Here’s a photo of him as he’s asleep in his “house.”

There are some days where your heart aches for dear friends. We have some fabulous friends who moved to Wisconsin recently and I thought a lot about them today. It is rare when your children find play mates in your friends as well. We miss you and think of you often.

New(?) Kids

I’m almost embarrassed to say it but my wife and a couple of her friends are going to the New Kids on the Block concert tonight. They scored some free tickets and decided to go. I had no idea they were even still together as a group. Now I kinda wish they [...]

When we went to the funeral last week on Freedom, Idaho, I made sure to get a photo of Byron next to his great grandather’s grave marker. This is the person after whom he was named.
I’ve included the photo with this post.

Family secrets

melanie | November 9, 2008

Just like any other Sunday we were at church today. Betsy and Ryan were in primary, David and Byron were in their respective classes, as were Josh and I. My class ended a couple minutes early so I walked by where Betsy and Ryan were. As I got to the doors I hear my [...]
