We have plenty to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. We spent the weekend with Vickey’s parents and enjoyed their company, and the company of Vickey’s brother, Charley. Vickey’s nephew, Casey, also joined us for Thanksgiving dinner, but had to run to hang with his cronies after we ate. Thanksgiving dinner was served around 1 p.m. [...]
Google Maps has a new navigation tool. It’s pretty cool. And just in case any of you are feeling comfortable in your humble abodes, here’s a photo off Google Maps of my parent’s home in upstate New York. There is no privacy anymore.
I finally tackled the play set project. When we purchased it several years ago from Vinyl Adventure it took me a full two Saturdays to get it all set-up. When we took it down in Henderson to move it up here, it was only about a two-hour job. Today, it took me about three hours [...]
Last Sunday we took a trip up to the Bountiful LDS Temple. We love living just a stone’s throw from the temple. This is the view from our driveway. Here are Vickey and the kids on the temple grounds, looking west. Here’s me and the kids with the temple in the background. We toured around [...]

Okay, so I’m catching up with blogging and posting photos. It’s been a crazy busy time with unpacking boxes and getting organized in the new place. Here are some photos from Halloween weekend. Vickey and I helped the kids carve a pumpkin on Nov. 1 (better late than never).
A friend of ours gave us this recipe for a pork taco salad. It’s now one of our favorite dishes. True there are a lot of ingredients, but it’s well worth the effort. Pork Taco Salad Pork 4 pound pork roast 4 8 ounce cans tomato sauce 3 teaspoons pressed garlic 3 cups brown sugar [...]
Earlier on Halloween Vickey and the kids were outside for a photo shoot. It was unseasonably warm here in Utah – a perfect Halloween! Dominic wore this skeleton outfit for about a week straight, during the day and as pajamas at night. And when we went out, he wore his birthday cowboy boots that light [...]
I had planned to do some blog updating last weekend but managed to catch a yucky stomach flu bug from my brother’s family on Halloween, so I’m just getting around to posting some updates. We spent last Saturday unpacking and hanging things up on our home’s main level. The upstairs bedrooms and play area for [...]
