I’m not really sure why Isaac has chosen tigers as his main fear, but he has. Each night he has to check all the locks before he goes to bed to make sure tigers can’t get in (because tigers don’t have keys). He whispers so the tigers don’t hear him until the doors are locked [...]

I think the death of my grandmother motivated us to plan a trip to visit our only surviving grandparent (Zach’s paternal grandmother) in Seattle and I’m glad it did because we had a great trip.

Omniture gave us some passes to Thanksgiving Point as part of the company party we had last week, so we took the toads up. Isaac was a little scared of the dinosaurs (I probably shouldn’t have told him they eat children), but Charlotte had no fear. Isaac kept reminding us that the dinosaurs were dead, [...]

My sister-in-law (Heidi) sent me an article about funny things kids say as they grow up in "the church" and I figured I had a few to add to that list, so here are some relevant musings from our log:
Not too long ago: I had explained to Isaac that President Hinckley had died and [...]

So, I turned 30 last month, and I honestly didn’t freak out or anything, but then an elderly lady told me that she cried the whole day when she turned 30 and a gal in her 20s asked me how old I am and then apologized for asking when I told her my age.
