This week, our vacation is driving to Sarah’s sister Lynn’s house in California to pick up her three kids for the summer. They’ll be staying at our house and with their other Utah relatives for a couple of months. We borrowed Judy’s van and packed up our kids on Tuesday morning for the ride. Tuesday,… Continue reading California Dreaming

Fun facts about the apostles – video
Barb Smith at work showed me this video and I had to pass it on: a fun song to help you learn a little more about the LDS apostles. Some of the stuff they picked out was pretty lame (“Quentin L. Cook is from Cache Valley” — woo!) but overall it’s worth the minute of… Continue reading Fun facts about the apostles – video
I married a handy girl! (or, The story of the swing set)
Sarah has always been very resourceful, which has been a great complement to my inherent cheapness during our marriage. Last fall, as she was going to visit her sister Becca in Sandy, she saw a swing set by the side of the road. She wanted it and she got it, even if it meant carrying… Continue reading I married a handy girl! (or, The story of the swing set)
Spewing Audrey Out
Audrey has never been a big fan of hot meals. Since she was a baby, we’ve had to put her food in the freezer after it’s pulled out of the oven before she’d eat it. (For a while, she even thought the blessing on the food was so that her food could get cold.) But… Continue reading Spewing Audrey Out
Goodbye Greasemonkey
I’ve taken down the Greasemonkey userscript section of this web site. I found that not even I was using it — uploading the files to userscripts.org was much easier and useful. So now the link above redirects to my list of scripts at userscripts.org.
For all the Robby Reporters out there
I’ve launched a new web-based business today — http://www.robbyreporter.com. It’s for all the rookie reporters hoping to break into the journalism business — I’ll build them a personalized web site for their resume tape and photos. So Wendy Weather will own wendyweather.com, Steve Sportscaster will own stevesportscaster.com and they’ll both set themselves apart from the… Continue reading For all the Robby Reporters out there
And baby makes four
This morning Sarah woke up at 2:15 with pretty strong contractions. She got me up soon after, and we called for Becca (her sister and doula) to come help with the labor. We looked out the window and saw that it had snowed quite a bit overnight, so the roads were pretty bad. Becca and… Continue reading And baby makes four
You Gotta Love It, Baby
I got the chance to laugh at Sarah the other day while we were tossing around names for Baby Brother. (A few weeks ago, we were pretty much settled on Nathan, but we’ve since backed off it.) Our neighbors have a son named Stockton (after Utah Jazz great John Stockton), so Sarah said, “We could… Continue reading You Gotta Love It, Baby
Fan mail
Yesterday I got an email in Spanish through the contact form on my web site. It came from someone calling himself “rICHARD”, listing a very vague email address. It was titled, “lOSER, PERDEDOR”: wHAT ARE YOU DOING PUBLISHING A PERSONAL PAGE ABOUT YOUR LIFE, DO YOU THINK YOURSELF SOMEONE THAT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO ANYONE,… Continue reading Fan mail
Not quite visions of Sugarplums
Sarah and I spent Christmas Eve night at my parents’ house. Audrey was in the little toddler bed next to our bed. Sometime in the middle of the night, she started talking. “Bob the Builder. Can we fix it? Bob the Builder. Yes we can.” We’d never heard her talk in her sleep before, so… Continue reading Not quite visions of Sugarplums
