Bryce’s first birthday.

Thursday, January 19th, 2006

Today our youngest turned 1 year old. In typical fashion for a 1 year old, he could have cared less about the whole affair, but it was more for us than for him at this point. He did, however, have fun with smearing cake everywhere, so the evening wasn't an ...

Birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese.

Wednesday, November 9th, 2005

Today Evan turned 4 and, as requested, we took him to the Chuck E. Cheese (CEC) in Tacoma and he had a great time! We spent about 4 hours there, from the custom pizza party to the $30.00 in game tokens, and he was all lit up like a firework ...

Say it out loud to appreciate the humor.

Tim, a staight-laced friend and co-worker was talking about his World of Warcraft character when asked a question about one of them. This was his response: I only have one miner, and she hasn't done it yet. She doesn't have the experience. And then much laughter ensued.

Move-in issues in our new home.

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

So the last few days haven't exactly gone off as expected. I was hoping to be able to spend about 12-14 hours a day painting and getting things in the new house ready so we can move in nice and easy this weekend, but it looks like I've bitten off ...

Trying to find the right house.

Monday, August 1st, 2005

In the current state of the real estate market, selling a home is very easy... but buying a new one is another story altogether. We've been looking for about six weeks now and we've just now found a place that looks like it's a go on all fronts. We've been ...

Renting our home.

Monday, August 1st, 2005

Today is both sad and joyous because we've got a nice fat check in our hands (that's already all but spent) since we closed on selling our home today; but it also means that we're back to renting... renting the home we owned just 24 hours ago. It's a very ...

The day our dog almost died.

Sunday, July 17th, 2005

So we're rushing to get out of the house to visit our friends Jennifer, Greg, and Cindy, and as usual we're running behind. Greg plays guitar, as do I, and he asked me to bring my guitar so we could noodle around a bit. Sounds great, and just before we're ...

It’s time to move again.

Thursday, June 23rd, 2005

So we've decided to sell our current home and buy another one. Yep... I said it. We're buying a new home. Sure we've only had this one for two years, but we figure we can make a little profit off of this one, pay off all of our bills, and ...

What a great Fathers Day!

Sunday, June 19th, 2005

The morning started off really nice because I got to sleep in until about 10:30AM, which almost never happens any more. After some tasty Eggo waffles we headed over to Kimberly's parents house so she could drop off a card to her dad and visit for a little bit. We ...

I’ve been a busy bee.

Thursday, June 16th, 2005

Holy smokes, kids... daddy's been working his tail off the last few weeks. I'm currently on my 11th straight day of work, and I am super tired! Lots of cool stuff is happening, but I haven't had to get down and dirty like this for a while. Sadly that means that ...
