And . . . we're back!

After some thought, I have decided to ressurect this blog and use it as a way to create a small but meaningful family history. So, we will see how successful I am in keeping up to date on it. My main goal is to share things with family and friends about what is happening in our lives and so forth.

On that note, here are a few things to get us started!

I think I will start taking a whole bunch more pics now
I have an iTouch

I ate so much at this graduation dinner I couldn't sleep
well that night or eat till dinner the next day!

This year has already been a roller coaster, but it is only going to get more crazy! Kassie worked at Reagan Academy in the special ed department, and I came every once and a while as a substitute teacher. I finished up my degree at BYU and presented some of the research I did with professors in IP&T (including my own Pa!)
Kassie's 1st day with the sewing machine. She has been working
hard on it many times since!

We have loved living in the basement of this wonderful home,
we sure will miss it. 

Kassie and I started a Coursera class
on Child Nutrition and cooking. This is
a tasty artichoke salad I made - yum.

Earlier this year we went on the "magic train" on the Heber
Creeper. It was pretty awesome.

While in CA for an education conference I got to enjoy time with my Pa
and Uncle (and his family). The Redwood forest was amazing.
Finally - this is a little film I made for one of my classes in Fall semester. We are pretty excited for our man child coming this July!

Hinckley's Two Month Update

By
I can't believe it has only been two months since Hinckley joined our family! It feels like a lot longer than that and he is growing so big way too fast! At his two month check-up today, he weighed 13 lb 12 oz and was 26 1/4 inches long. Apparently he is so tall that he is off the medical charts for his age. Hinckley is such a happy, easy-going baby. He smiles, laughs, and coos a lot. Having him in our family is so fun because he helps us realize the joy of everything once again. He smiles at bright colors or new sounds, enjoys kisses and cuddling, and squeals in delight at seeing nature when we take walks. Yesterday at church it was like he had a rubber neck; for about five minutes he just kept turning back and forth to take it all in--the sights, sounds, and smells. Today he had to get three shots at the doctor's office and even that didn't phase him for long. Oh he screamed and his face got redder than I have ever seen it. I held him and fed him afterwards and then ...

TMA 185 3 minute film

By
The final product of "make me a match" that I labored over exceedingly. I was actually sort of unhappy with it all not because of the performances of anyone but mainly just the story. We had to write all so quickly and the re-write it time after time and then storyboard it and really break it down. In all this rush I didn't realize till I was actually shooting it that I really didn't care much for the story as a whole and thus my motivation suffered greatly. I don't think I need to tell epic dramatic tales to care about them but I do want to have a strong point and also a specific conflict or issue that is approached and resolved. I am starting a screen writing class tomorrow and possibly I will gain some insights as to how to develop good stories. Ones that I care about. I don't know why I feel so interested in telling stories - particularly in that I haven't felt very confident with the stories I have come up with. It is extremely hard for me to come up ...

Dishes

It is that time of day when the house is quiet, the table is half covered in pots, pans, and tuber ware with food scattered across. The car isn’t in the garage and the dog lies sleeping on the blue blanket. The sun lies somewhere back there, behind the cloud over those mountains. It makes some nice gold colors on the rocky face of the mountains outside of the window. I guess it is so nice because at this time of year there is a lot of plants and flowers in the back yard so the gold makes it seem sort of dreamlike. Yeah, I’ll do em I guess. Call it being nice or being bored. Does it matter? Approaching the sink I am nipped by the denting smell. The eggshells, scraps of mango, carrot peel, and chunks of tofu drip in my fingers. Oh yes, the trash is under the sink these days. Drip once, drip twice on the floor. The water in the frying pan trembles, shaking the crusty flakes of burnt egg. Yogurt and peanu...
