Today we had a birthday party for my dad since they were out. Melanie and Kellie did most of the work organizing it. We had it at Kelli & Lance’s church, which seems to be the most central location for everyone now. It was a lot of fun. After eating we played a game that involved all the family including kids called “Do you love your neighbor?” Lance used duct tape to create a four square court for us. We played until we barely had...

I’m not getting enough sleep lately. It seems the problem is that we love watching the Olympics too much! It is fun to see the various sports and hear the stories of the athletes.

We had to explain it to them. Even then they didn’t seam all that excited. They...

It was really fun to visit with our old friends from the 10th ward. After church we went to the Petty’s house for a little while. As we were leaving church, once we got in the car I asked Gehrig, “Did you see your girlfriend?” (He always says Alyssa Petty...

It was an interesting day. Last night was doing a lot research on the home and I heard back from our Mortgage guy. It seems the magic number was $56,000. If we could get that much out of the sale of our home then we could likely make it work, but that is if we could find a renter for the mother-in-law apartment in the basement.
