We have what we like to call a Murder Shed. We have renters in our basement and they have to walk past it coming and going from their entrance. It’s 4 inches from the fence and 24 inches from the house. Something had to be done. After much discussion we decided to keep the old…

When your parents are in Poland you might as well go to visit them in Poland. I found a good deal on tickets to Gdansk and talked Bryant and Paige into joining. Bryant guilt tripped Jay into going and off we went to see Mom and Dad. We flew all night. Super fun. We had…

It’s back to school for Canyon! 1st grade. He’s got a great teacher, Mrs. Kattie. He’s adjusted much faster than last year. He has many of the same classmates as last year. They did put his best frienemy in the same class. They get a long so well, until they don’t. I also started a…

I just love doing wedding flowers. These were for a girl in the ward just down the street. My friend Melissa had canyon all day. He had a blast and I didn’t have a helper. Win/win.
