  • Bzzzzzz. What Have I Gotten Myself Into?!!????

    Long story short: We have 2 beehives now. Long story long: In late October about 18 months ago we got some screaming deals on some trees. That moved us to look for some more and before April of 2013 we had planted 10 new trees 8 of which were fruit trees with more to come. […]

    Spring Break 2014 aka Adventure Sphere aka Rick

    So yeah, it’s been long time. No apologies no promises, just a (long) post. 😉 Breakdown Last time we went to Goblin Valley for Spring break it cost a fortune because of an broken alternator that had to be repaired in a little town along the way.  This time I was prepared and brought every […]

  • A Look Back at a Very Busy Holiday

    A Look Back at a Very Busy Holiday

    This is going to be a long post. Sorry in advance. We started “December” the weekend before Thanksgiving. One of the only things I like about living in Salt Lake is that it is virtually free to do fun things. Like go to the Christmas tree lighting at the Gateway and get a free Kurt […]

  • A Trip and Fall

    A Trip and Fall

    So after attending the wonderful Brigham City Temple sessions @mrsangrygardner wanted, well she begged and plead, to go see the changing leaves.  I choose to go up American Fork Canyon. I have admit the reason was two fold 1. It is a beautiful canyon and a fun drive that starts along the river bed and […]

    Farmers Market (a trip north)

    I am not going to lie I am to the point that I think that I get a better value from going to a farmers market than planting myself.  You are able to get the finished product that is garden fresh with out the frustration and waste of planting your own… That begin said I […]

    Boys Camp

    Christy and Chey went to girls camp this week. Yes, I missed them horribly. But we managed to still have a little fun and even get down in the dirt a little, some of us more than other. Logan sure enjoyed the having complete access to the sling shot. He was able to get fairly […]

  • Balsamic-Honey Glazed Steak

    Balsamic-Honey Glazed Steak

    I have been a complete slacker on the blogging front.  So just to have something on my main page other than my twitter archives I thought that I would put up what I made for Christy for Mother’s Day. While this I used this for steak it would equally rock on any other protein: chicken, fish, pork, […]

    Rapunzel, Rapunzel, When Did You Grow Up?

    Holy moley look at my little girl. Acting on stage for a her school’s musical, and then in a couple of weeks speaking in our Stake Conference. Seriously, it was not that long ago that this was her. But this is a lament of all parents I guess. I am very proud of her and […]
