So my newest little niece was born at 8:09 PM on Saturday Sept 26th, 2009. DJ and Janae chose the beautiful name of Florence Tea-Marie Thomas. Florence because several of Janae’s relatives have that name, and it’s Mom’s middle name. Tea-Marie for Truddles. I like nicknames though, so Flooey it is (rhymes with Zooey)…
Tag: a day in the life
Don’t worry, it feels as bad as it looks…
So jared’s surgery on Thursday went well, and other than having to sip all food and drink thru straws, he couldn’t be better. Doctors feel more than confident they got it all, but he has a follow up appointment this Thursday. In fact, Emily had them also check a small little lump on the side…
Football, Cancer, 5k, play parenting = exhaustion
So….. Many events have occurred so far this Sept. It started out good, as Jared, Em, and I got season tickets for Utah football this year. But as I was leaving work in Ogden to head home and get ready for tailgating at the season opener, Emily calls me distraught with news that Jared just…
Oakland
So this weekend i went to the beautiful city of the other side of da Bay, Oakland. Very relaxing, and enjoyed a good ole national past time, baseball. It was free hat day! awesome pitch by the reliever. too bad it was in the 5th…. Good thing Utah doesn’t have a MLB team, i’d never…
Fishing at Strawberry, and other adventures
My 1953 Dorsett July 25th 2009…. Crazy, but this is the first time I’ve been fishing, let alone up to Jared and Em’s cabin this year. We got the ole’ 53 Dorsett into the water early Saturday morning, and cruised to a little cove with Hershey and his group. With the government’s insane rules regarding…
‘Frisco
So, in wanting to utilize my frequent flyer miles and my seemingly unquenchable desire to travel, I ventured out to San Francisco last weekend. Never having been to this city before, my only real goal was to bike across the Golden Gate Bridge. Mission Accomplished! But there was so much more to see and do….
Union Pacific Rail Trail
So i put my mind to it. Finally. Threw Old Haas into the back of the civic early Saturday morning, and ventured out to a bike trail I’ve been wanting to ride for years. Made it to the start of the trail (at least for me) in Coalville…. I’m not sure how far the trail…
One Fear conquered!
So while in Mombassa, Ranger hooked us up with Doctor Samson, who would take those brave enough snorkeling in the Indian Ocean. For those who do not yet know, I have (had) a huge fear of the ocean due to sharkies (stemming from the movie Jaws, thanks Spielberg!) But with me already accomplishing tasks I…
found another worthy 5K…
Looking thru the http://www.active.com/ website for 5k’s in my area, and found a great one on the 4th of July. It is to raise money for a family that has had their children born with rare brain tumor’s, and have already lost one children to this disease. Please, if you have time, come join me…
Pagans, partygoers greet solstice at Stonehenge
So, as you might have gathered if you looked thru my Africa pic’s, but I was lucky enough to have also gone to see Stonehenge on my London layover return flight to the United States. We met a couple of Druids who were telling us about the Summer Solstice and it’s meaning to them in…
Africa
This post is hard for me to put into words, but i will try. When I first heard about World of Difference thru a website announcing their 5K, I didn’t give it much thought, except to continue to support races for what i believed were worthy causes. When I found out thru their website of…
