Celebrity look-alikes for Pete the younger
A friend of mine posted a funny celebrity look-alike image of him and George Clooney. It sparked my interest so I checked out the site, MyHeritage. Here are my celebrity look-alikes, based on truly sophisticated facial recognition software: 6/30/08: A follow-up to my celebrity look-alike post . . . I have been told by several [...]
Two dead freezers in as many months
This summer has been particularly hard on our appliances. The beginning of May we had to replace our eight year-old Kenmore freezer, and this morning Vickey discovered that our Whirlpool Gladiator freezer (which we think is only about four years old) in the garage was no longer keeping food frozen. We suspect that because the [...]

Summer swimming
Saturday afternoon Eliana and Dominic insisted on swimming. So, I filled up our little wading pool and let them have at it. They also both received hair cuts Saturday so Eliana wanted me to film a movie with the digital camera like we did last weekend at Fremont Street Experience so she could show off [...]
The kids got a hair cut
Yesterday, as the temperature in the Las Vegas Valley begins to exceed 105, both kids got their hair trimmed. Here’s a slide show with them sporting their new look.
To the fathers in my life
In commemoration of father’s day I thought I’d take a few moments to jot down some memories of the fathers in my life. As a young boy I remember all the scout outings, meetings and activities my dad attended with me. We did big encampments and weekend outings. He steered clear of the 50 mile [...]
Kung Fu Panda outing
Thanks to Grandma Codella’s most recent package (which included some cash and the suggestion we use it to see Kung Fu Panda), we enjoyed a family afternoon at the movies today. Once the kids got the idea to go see that movie, that’s all they could talk about for the past week or so. I [...]
The water park
Today was Vickey’s day off work and she spent some quality time with the kids at the water park — one of their favorite summer destinations.
EQ breakfast at Green Valley Park
Last Saturday I was in charge of a breakfast for families in our ward’s elders quorum. We had a great time and enjoyed almost perfect weather (it wasn’t too hot). Families stayed for a couple of hours, enjoying French toast (my specialty made with Great Harvest Bread Company cinnamon chip bread), Honey Baked Ham, scrambled [...]
Eliana's first video scavenger hunt
Tonight while Vickey worked I took the kids down to Fremont Street Experience to participate in my client’s video scavenger hunt. It’s called miniPAH:Vegas and is sponsored by PAH Nation, a nonprofit, educational organization based out of Hollywood and founded by Christopher Coppola. Working with the PAH Nation team has been very fun this week. [...]
