Rachel’s friend took her to lunch today for her birthday. They then did some shopping. I spent time with the kids today working in the yard. I tilled the flower garden and later planted some tulip bulbs. We also cleaned up on the little weird fruits that fell from a tree in the front yard. I’m not even sure what they are. We filled five buckets full of them though! We also raked up some leaves in the front yard. Overall it was a...

We got Rachel a Wii Fit for her birthday. Tonight after we got the kids in bed we tried it out. It was pretty fun. The idea is to have fun while losing weight. I found the game oddly motivational – especially after it calculated my BMI and gave my mii character a big gut! We had some fun playing the games and getting a little bit of...

I sent Bryan and Chris cards in the mail earlier this week just letting them know I was thinking about them and missed hanging out with them. They both called to say thanks and suggested we go golfing. So we went today after work Scott also came. We teamed up, me & Chris vs. Scott & Bryan. I was actually surprised we were winning most of the day. It wasn’t until the final hole that they parred and we double-bogeyed that put them...

We had something to eat then finally got to see the 6th Harry Potter movie. We had to find a dollar theater that was showing it because it was already out of all the newer theaters. That’s okay though, it saved us some money...

Well, I believe that was a prompting from the Spirit because right after I passed the Redwood Road exit, I rounded the corner and found myself in stand-still traffic. There were 4 accidents on the freeway today which made things a slow mess. It ended up taking and...

It was Rachel’s 30th birthday today. I paid my sister Melanie to draw a picture of the Mt. Timpanogus temple. It turned out great. I also got a Wii Fit for the kids to give to her. We were going to drive the canyon and make s’mores, but it got cold and windy right about the time I got home from work. So we ended up going out to Subzero for ice...
