Bad Day

Curtis had a bad day today. He went from being so good yesterday to being terrible today. I guess it couldn’t last forever. He really is testing our patience trying to see what he can get away with.
I had to have John take him out of Primary today because he [...]

Presidents Day

I love President’s day! Of course I only love it because it meant a 3 day weekend. We were going to go camping. But the warm weather started to fade at the end of last week and we chickened out. If we were freezing here in Vegas we would surely freeze in [...]

Anyone Ever Try a Cake Plow?

I went to this conference and we did what could be one of the biggest cake plows ever. For those of you who don’t know what a cake plow is (and that will be all of you), it’s where you take a large piece of cake and you plow your face into it until [...]
