I was talking to one of my sisters yesterday about Valentine’s Day and how some of our old roommates and single friends dislike it.  They sequestered themselves miserably at home and called the holiday things like “Singles [...]

One of the things I love about Colin is that he does things he hates to do for the sake of doing what he thinks is right.  For example, today our Elder’s Quorum is out of town helping with the tornado cleanup in the Clinton, AR, area.  Colin really loathes doing manual labor like this.  [...]

Last night we didn’t get a babysitter for our date, so I don’t know if you can really count it as a date because the kids came along.  Actually, I didn’t get a sitter because I was going to crash a neighboring ward’s Cub Scout Blue and Gold banquet and leave the kids with Colin.  [...]

It’s been a couple of months since I’ve done anything more serious than a slow saunter around the apartment complex with my kids and the lack of movement was getting a little ridiculous, so when both kids went down for a nap at once this afternoon I decided to take the first step to a [...]

I’m in charge of our Primary’s Sharing Time next on March 2, the day after my birthday, so I thought I’d prepare for it now instead of on my birthday.  The Sharing Time Outline says the following about the lesson:

Jesus Christ is my Savior and the Savior of all mankind (Mosiah 3:8-10; 1 Nephi 19:9-10; 3 [...]

Degen decided to act the part of a construction worker today. 

A year ago that would have meant he was Bob the Builder.  Now it means he’s Handy Manny.  With Black and Decker tools from Christmas.  You don’t see this in the pictures, but the cowboy in him hasn’t quite faded away because he’s swinging his [...]

Super Tuesday is over and interest in the primaries isn’t!  Wow, I think it’s fascinating.  The candidates and their campaign teams probably don’t feel this way, but as a voter and a spectator I think it’s all pretty entertaining and exciting.  I won’t say here who I voted for, but I’ll bet you already guessed [...]
