Wheeler Farm
On a recent vacation in the Salt Lake city area, we took the kids to Wheeler Farm. It’s a real, working farm with places to have a picnic lunch, feed the animals, take ride through the rolling hills, see examples of farm machinery old and new, and sample some of what is produced there today.…

Dog Tags
Tonight was a full lunar eclipse that was visible at the perfect time of the evening for me to enjoy it with my kids. So there we were – hanging out in the front yard with camera in hand waiting for the clouds to thin out a bit. I was holding the baby and Erica…

The Piano Man
Some time ago, Christine posted a note in her blog about our piano ordeal. To sum up, we ordered a piano in June of this year from the folks at the Piano Superstore. Normally I would not consider purchasing something like a piano sight unseen (and unplayed/heard) but after several weeks of looking at traditional…

Christmas Lights
The turkey has been cooked, consumed, and caused us to go into a coma. The pie is almost gone. The relatives are getting ready to head back home tomorrow. Sounds like it’s time to hang up some Christmas Lights!

Cambria

New Home

Happy Birthday Erica!
Erica had her second birthday on the 21st, and she had a blast! 🙂 We decided to not have a party with a bunch of people over (can you imagine a house full of 2 year olds) and just had a small family thing together when I got home from work. Erica had six kinds…

Back From Vacation
Well, we are finally back from the extravaganza known as Christmas Vacation. If anyone out there has yet to experience the pleasure of dealing with a 2 year old with stomach flu while on the road, let me assure you that it is not pleasant. We started this *vacation* with a road trip to Idaho…

New Baby
Erica has some big news…. Give up? That’s right, we’re having a new baby. 🙂 The due date is June 2 (which for those of you who know us pretty well may recognize that as Christine’s birthday!), and we have already heard the heartbeat. We’ll probably find out if it’s a boy or a girl…
