It is NOT good for Man to be alone.

This last Saturday, My wife and baby left to visit her sister in Kansas City, Missouri for six days. I already miss them both. I always have been grateful and appreciative of all she does around the house and especially with Emily. I know NOW how much she really does, not just watching the little one, but for me and our home. Reality came quickly when I got home from work on Saturday afternoon and was desiring some delicious dinner. But wait!!! Kristin is gone. No I am perfectly able to cook, so I begin the process... let's see what we have... then I looked in the fridge. Uh-oh. We didn't go grocery shopping before Kristin left and took our ONLY car to Vegas to catch her flight. This normally wouldn't be a problem-right. I can just go shopping, but, not this time. We only have one car and a scooter. We live in Cedar, a scooter really is all you need, except it is quite difficult to fit any amount groceries on the fender of my wonderful little Vino.


So, the minutes continue to tick away and I still don't have any real possibilities besides the non filling cheese-crip. Then the genius all inspired idea comes, "Delivery!!!" Trying to be thrifty and decide on the best value and solution to my no food problem. Domino's!--another inspired thought, at least that is what I thought at the time, 3 pizzas for $5.55. The only good from this I feel now, was that it lasted so long, this is Day 3...

"You Light Up My Life" LIVE!

I sang at an Orchestra of Southern Utah fundraising night last week and the theme was American Popular Music from 1970 to 1990. I chose the song "You Light Up My Life" since it's one of my favorites. Anywho, you can listen to it online! Go to http://www.orchestraofsouthernutah.org/podcasts.htm and find the podcast of "American Popular Music" and click on it. Unfortunately it is not split up into songs, but if you're patient enough for it to download, my song is from the time 22:35 to 26:32 . From this, I even got a "review" so to speak in the newspaper on Saturday in the editorial "vent" section called "Kind Thoughts." You can view that here. if you like. My friend Nancy Beckstrom accompanied me. This is a picture of both of us. (Super cheesey face grin...sorry!)

Cell Phone Pictures...

Here are some random pictures I pulled off of our cell phones:

I came upstairs one day to discover this:
Caption: "MOM! Can you believe this?! Dad is in my bed!"
Emily's candid look:
Thought bubble: "Oh dear, you caught me..."
*side note* That orange thing on her arm is a bandaid from her 1 yr. immunizations...
I took Emily to the park across the street. The tunnel was our favorite:
She's a blur in the picture because you can't get a 1 year old to hold still at the park for a picture. We had alot of fun though.
Which one is your favorite? :)
