The Genesis of My Blog

By
It is as I have recently learned from Twelfth Night, "Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon ’em." Thus I have had encountered a moment of both reflection and greatness as I begin a blog of my very own. How amazing! wahoo. I think this will help me be pro active in creating my own life history, sharing with the family what I am thinking since I tend not to open my mouth, and releasing all the thoughts I have that I would like to wish were somewhat artistic. So, I reckon it will be revealed in the coming weeks and months what sort of blogger I will become. Until then, stay well.

    I like this, Grey. Do you think of your name as Gray or Grey? I look forward to knowing what's on your mind since you don't OYM as much as you may have on your mission. Also, thank you for the "stay well" wish. I wish you "go well." Now can you tell me what book this is from?
    Much love,
    Mom

    I like that quote from 12th night too--although I usually mock it, I think it is very accurate. I think you were born great for sure. :-) Have you seen the movie? I think I've watched it at least 5 or 6 times. Very well done--has that Helena Bonham Carter in it.

    "Stay Well, Go Well" is from that one African book - AARRGGG it is escaping my mind at this point which is very frustrating. Brandon and I used to say that to each other all the time after we read that for English class.

    Yes I saw 12th night a long time ago, I think it is one of Abi's favorites!

October 4, 2026 This last week was a full one and was quite eventful. Monday Desi cut his chin open again at daycare, I accidentally drugged addie with the "drowsy" allergy medicine instead of the other one so she needed to come home early from school and slept for 5 hours, and Greyson was sick in the morning but good enough for me to take him to school before lunch time. Tuesday, I had a wonderful hike with Hinckley in which we summitted Mt Nebo in less than 5 hours. It was a stunning day and the colors were out and we had just perfect weather. Thursday Addie and I got to go to a Daddy/Daughter dance our elders quorum put on at the church and it was amazing! We had a lot of fun dancing and grooving to the tunes and enjoyed the treats as well. Friday Hinckley had a swim meet in Provo and beat all his times by at least 2 seconds, and also got a state qualifying time - not bad for the first meet of the season! It was my last week with McKinsey and that went well. I'm gratef...

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...

Almost There!

Tomorrow is our baby's due date! We don't think he will come tomorrow, but one never knows. Here are some pics from this week. School is going pretty well for me, though I transition to writing/reading from doing math for the past two weeks so I am a little nervous about that. The view from the bus just before I get off and start teaching for the day. Usually I am barely awake at this point.  Awesome panorama of our classroom. It has taken a lot of work to get all this stuff up, but it could still use lots more! Here is a view of the front of the classroom, along with our space ship behavior chart and so forth.  I decided to see what would happen if I didn't shave during the week This was the result.  Kas is feeling quite big, and ready for the man child to come out! This week Kas learned how to make homemade yogurt - or at least how to extend the yogurt you already have.  The latest creative masterpiece from Kassie is this littl...
