Peas & Love For Us

I’ve been trying to capture Ellie mimicking her Lady Bug toy for a while now. The wheels squeak and she has found she can copy the squeak quite well. Listen close. We love it. The video also shows her talents of pulling up and trying to walk. Her legs are still wobbly but she is [...]

We went to the Park City 4th of July Parade this morning. It was pretty crowded, Gary was a good sport. The parade was fun a good mix of city floats, fire trucks, bands, kids, local hoodlums, and real estate floats (just isn’t PC w/o the big name real estate folks getting a word in). [...]

We had a slow and lazy weekend. Lounged around and enjoyed the sunshine. Sarah and I worked on some projects. While Gary got to enjoy his favorite fishing spot with our friend Jonny B. I love this picture of Sarah and Ellie. Ellie was pretty fascinated with the guitar. Hopefully this little introduction to the [...]

So, due to my lack of organization and highly developed ability to procrastinate I have a plethora of subjects to blab or blog about. First up, I have to gush a little over our wee one who is growing like a weed. Seems we blinked our eyes and she hit some milestones. She is now [...]

I have been wanting to check out Antelope Island for a while now. I thought it’s silly to have lived in Utah all my life and not have ever stood on the shores of the GSL for a day. So we asked our friends Jodi and KC to join us for a one day vacation [...]
