My sister-in-law is an actress and she just had a part in a commercial. You can see it here:

She's in lavender scrubs, the one pouring gasoline on the medical charts. As I'm sure there are lots of people on my site looking for actors, and those of you who are should go to her web [...]

Sunday was our ward Primary Sacrament Meeting presentation and it went very well. There were lots of kids who participated, they sang clearly and loudly, and only one left the stand crying at the end (a disappointed Sunbeam who wanted another boy's action figure). They said their parts clearly into the microphone, which was at a [...]

When they asked us to move to Arkansas, one of my first thoughts was "I hope they have Redbox there." Yes, that really was one of the first things I checked when analyzing the area. Redbox is a system of ATM-looking machines (big and red) where you can rent movies for $0.99/day, with no membership [...]

As I was finishing, I looked around to make sure I didn't miss something and noticed some leftover frozen peas and carrots from [...]

Our second practice for our Primary Sacrament Meeting presentation went very well. Oddly, the children didn't sing quite as loudly as the first time we did a run-through, but it wasn't by any means quiet, either. They said their parts very well and seemed pretty much ready. It's a good thing, too, since our second [...]

Degen is learning his colors! I'm writing this from Colin's classroom at school. Colin is working on "behavior documents" and Degen is taking the dry erase markers one at a time from the board over to Colin's chair and telling Colin what color they are. He's got about 75% percent, I'd say. He just said "yellow" for [...]

I get a lot of people who come onto my site searching for things like "wife is always tired and doesn't like me." I'm not sure how that brings them here and I don't know whether my site is at all helpful, but here are my thoughts on ways to strengthen your marriage and what [...]

Since Veteran's Day is coming up, I thought having a patriotic Family Home Evening in honor of the occasion would be a good idea.
Here's a site that lets you send a postcard to a soldier for free! You just choose a picture for the postcard and write a message. http://www.letssaythanks.com/MessageOfWeek.html Seems like a good [...]
