My dad.

We went to the cemetery today and talked about dad. It will always make me sad that the girls didn't get to spend more time with him before he died. We tried to tell them some of the memories...about how much he loved Hawaii, Rocky Road ice cream, getting "buzzed" out of the house by the kids and one time getting locked out, how he would make cakes for the children's birthdays in his primary class, how he was such a hard worker, how he had knee surgery and how hard that was on him, how he finished my birthday cake when I was 3 or 4 because mom walked through a glass door and had to get stitches in her hand, how he always wanted to be a ward librarian at church (news to me...mom explained that he was really organized and thought that hanging out in the library visiting with whomever stopped by would be great.) I am so grateful to have had a dad who loved me and always wanted what was best for his family. We still miss him after five years.


B-Y-U Cougars!!!!

John drove up to Provo for the game against San Diego. When he got home he said it was a lot of driving, but totally worth it. Thanks Tim and parents! Has a decade really gone by since we were there? Man, we are getting old!

Halloween!

The school parade, party, choir performance, and trunk-or-treat that night kept us very busy.
Mom has a picture on the way of she of the girls...check back later!

Fall Break

We headed north for a few days mid-October and had some fun at my sister's house...eating, shopping, eating, and shopping, and I did I mention eating? Her little girl Keslie likes me. That makes me happy!
