Did you know you can get a citation for having a cracked windshield? I didn’t. Yesterday I had a business meeting in West Valley City and on my way back to the office a motorcycle police officer pulled me over. He said I was speeding and that the speed limit was 35 miles per hour. [...]
While my entire family was together for Christmas this year in Salt Lake, the siblings and spouses took a day to hit the Park City slopes. This was probably one of the best Christmas gifts from our parents. They spent the entire day, from sun up to sun down, taking care of their grandchildren, all [...]
This was a busy year for the Codella family, as it likely was for those of you reading our annual update. It’s simply amazing how quickly time passes and we find ourselves reflecting on the year, looking forward to holidays spent with family and friends, and the memories of another calendar year. Highlights We were [...]
This November my family was featured in the Las Vegas Italian-American community newspaper, La Voce. The center pages are ours, titled La Mia Famiglia, Past Present & Future — The Codella Family. My friend is the editor for La Voce and asked us in October if we would be willing to be the featured family [...]
The week after Ellie’s baptism we found ourselves at my Aunt Sarah’s 80th birthday party in Richfield. It has been years since we made it to my mom’s old stomping grounds in Richfield. It was nice to pay the little old town a visit. We spent the day there, along with my folks who were [...]

Whitney Houston’s new album was released on Aug. 31, just so it could qualify for this year’s Grammy Awards. (I blogged about it a couple weeks ago.) The album seems to have been rushed — they didn’t even manage to get track titles on the disc. Those of you who have known me since the [...]
Today was Eliana’s back-to-school day. There was a morning assembly and then a short meeting with her teacher. I went and picked up all the instructions and information from the school since Vickey also started with her students this morning. It’s so weird that summer is gone! I snapped a few pictures while I was [...]
At the beginning of the summer I set a goal for myself: To be able to run without stopping from our home up to the top of the street that runs into Bountiful Boulevard, the highest, furthest eastern road in our neighborhood. It’s the street on which the LDS Bountiful Temple is situated. Tonight, I [...]
Many events have transpired the past few weeks and month. I won’t even pretend I could catch up on the family blog. But today marks a new chapter in my Whitney Houston experience. Her new album, I Look to You, is coming out Aug. 31 and my good friend, Carlos, forwarded me a single from [...]
