Did Anyone Mention Trim?

Dad and his helpers have been laboring for months to restore the trim on the Old City Hall in Manti. Perhaps this slide show will give you a glimpse of the magic and talent of our Dad!

Dad's Photos of Utah Weather

This year has been a winter to remember. Dad captured some great photos to share!

Corinne Turns Eight

Tanya and Shawn's daughter-Corinne turned 8 on February 17th. She had a fun birthday party the next day (a school holiday!) The girls wore aprons (made from dish towels), made their own personal pan pizzas and little chocolate cakes which they decorated. They played a few games and opened presents-of course. The girls (and Zachary) were so cute as budding young chefs. They all took home miniature muffin tins filled with goodies! Eight is Great!

Personality Test

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Orange

You're a bold, confident orange. A warm, powerful color that indicates a strong, welcoming personality, orange is the mark of people who are social and extroverted by nature. Vibrant, with an upbeat attitude, you have a bright, inviting demeanor. Energetic and fun-loving, you're a real friend-magnet. Your easy charm and unassuming manner make you the sort of person people want to meet and get to know better. Well-rounded and fun to be around, you enjoy helping others, so it's no surprise that orange also symbolizes attraction. Orange is an extraordinary color — for an extraordinary person.

What are you?

A place we should all aspire to visit

If you ever happen to be passing through the Santa Cruz mountains and stumble on a place called the Big Foot Museum, do not hesitate to park your car and step on in for a visit. Logan and I discovered this little piece of American culture when we were visiting Santa Cruz a few weeks ago. Yeah sure Santa Cruz has beautiful beaches, amusement parks on the pier, and old surf culture, but its most prized possession should be this joint. We had a good time while the museum "curator" told us stories about sightings of the alleged long haired man seen around areas close by. He had pictures, movies and books. I am sure glad that we had the opportunity to go.

Snow Day Kentucky Style

This here is no Utah and when we get even an inch of snow, school is cancelled. Well, we just had two snow days in a row and there was enough for the boys to sled down the neighbor's hill. We'll take what we can get in Kentucky as far as "fun in the snow" goes. It's back to school tomorrow and for that, I am grateful!
