Skyfort Playset Installation – Day 20 (4/18)
Sunday again was a (beautiful) day of rest, so I was back on the playset work come Monday evening. Hard to believe I’ve been at this for nearly 3 weeks now! I’m of two minds as to the length of time. On the one hand, I could have had this playset up a lot sooner…

After getting in a few hours on Saturday after the rain, I did not work on Sunday as usual and then was rained out on Monday. Tuesday we had van troubles and I was not in the mood to continue playset work, so it was Wednesday before I was able to get back into things.…

They say it’s my birthday!! Doo doo doo doo doo duh doo! But what could be more fun to do on your birthday than continue building a giant playset?!?!? I’m not sure. Now that the playset is out in its “final resting place”, it is a little more challenging to get set up and put…

2009 Staycation, Part 4
Part 4 of the Great 2009 Staycation (Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3). Sorry for the delay in getting this up, but I have finally gotten around to it. So, Tuesday, we originally were going to head downtown, but for various reasons, it didn’t work out great. So instead we just took kind of…

An interesting perspective on parenting
So, I had an interesting thought on a different perspective on parenting while sitting in Priesthood class last week at church. Within the past few weeks, Carolyn and I were talking about our kids (of course). And Carolyn was mentioning how you can’t treat kids as “little adults”. Meaning, that you think that you can…
