Splinter Removal… THERE WILL BE TEARS! – day 61

Parents of the Year!

We received an award at COSTCO for being “Parents of the Year!” Because we feed our kids fruit “eh-hem ice cream” before dinner. Ginger takes over the vlog and does a better job that I do. I discover Brigham is drinking about 8.5 gallons of milk a day. I head out to the college to …

What a rough day. Ginger has been coughing for a few days but last night she got really bad so this morning I took her to urgent care. The Doc at there sent us by ambulance to the ER… yep, the Emergency Room… by way of AMBULANCE! Ginger was in good spirits the whole time …

You have to like parsley but after that it’s the most flavorful, light, and refreshing thing you can eat. It’s lemony and bright! I had today off but spent most of it sitting …

Now I’m a sicky-poo

I woke up sick today. Bummer! I spent some time last night preparing for my 2-5 minute lesson about The Book of Jacob and didn’t get to give it. I know lots more about The Book of Jacob now and I finally feel like I have a good grasp on the meaning behind the allegory …

Finishing the Race

Over the past week three of my friends parents have left this world entirely too early. The pain my friends are going through is difficult for me to imagine but I can see that it’s very real and that each one of them are truly hurting. Not only that but now my friends parents have …
