Ode to Chuck
Chuck is a TV series that Amy and I have watched since the dawn of our marriage. I discovered Chuck through Hulu while working for the FHSS College at BYU (I had a LOT of downtime). I saw one episode on Hulu (the Holiday episode from Season 1) and was intrigued enough that I downloaded [...]
Benjamin’s Outfit
We caught this moment as Benjamin was coming down the stairs to go on a walk. He just makes me happy.
Backyard Cardinals
I’ve noticed over the last week that there are a pair of cardinals collecting twigs and such in our backyard. I believe we may have some nest builders! It has been really wonderful this spring getting to enjoy all of the birds in the neighborhood. Whenever we go on our morning walks, Benjamin has many [...]
We Love Warrior’s Path
Yesterday we got out and enjoyed the nice warm weather. Really we enjoyed it a little too much since I ended up with a minor sunburn. But Benjamin had a blast playing on the equipment. The Mount Carmel park is great because it’s just 3 minutes from our house and never has anyone there. Benjamin [...]
DC Trip
This last weekend we had a wonderful time visiting people in DC. When we arrived on Friday, we spent the afternoon visiting the Air and Space Museum with a short trip to the Math Alive exhibit. Even though we were only there for a short time, I was very impressed with the exhibit. Lots of [...]
Hunger Games Fashion

As I started reading the article, my jaw literally dropped. For those who haven’t read the books, a major component of the story is [...]
South Carolina Trip
Mom, Dad, and Christopher were watching Benjamin for the week while I was recovering so Mark and I went down to South Carolina to pick up Benjamin. We took the opportunity to visit the Charleston Aquarium together. We forked out the money to get a family pass with two visitors. Regardless of the monetary concerns, [...]
Laurel Run Hike
I was going to write a blog post about my positive feelings after the miscarriage, but now I’m just moving on. So this post is mostly about our hike. Last Sunday we went out and enjoyed some wonderful fresh air. This was particularly welcome to me since I’ve been cooped up and on the couch [...]
Another Miscarriage
For those who haven’t already heard, I just recently had another miscarriage at 14 weeks. Last weekend, the entire family was sick with a really nasty stomach virus. When everyone else was getting better, I seemed to be staying sick and started spotting. Although the bleeding didn’t become heavy, I was still worried about the [...]
Electric Car versus Gas Burning Car
Electric vehicles love to tout that they’re zero-emission vehicles because they don’t produce a carbon emissions while driving around. I know this is a naive view because electricity comes from somewhere and it always has a carbon footprint. So, I did a little digging to compare CO2 emissions of electric versus gas burning cars. What [...]
