Saturday night Cooper wore his Max suit and made mischief of one kind and another.
When he escaped from our church building not once, but twice and was hightailing it to the road, we called him “WILD THING!” But, we didn’t send him to bed without any dinner.

Sorry I’ve been such a bad blogger lately. My apologies and I promise to be better.
This weekend two very exciting things were being celebrated. The first of course was Buffalo Bill Days and the second was National Cheesecake day.
Buffalo Bill is a big deal around these parts. [...]
We met up in the heartland (AKA Vernal, UT) with a couple of Noel’s high school buddies over the weekend. Despite a long car ride and weather that wasn’t the most hospitable for the night we camped, we had a really good time. Cooper slept better than he does at home both nights, which was [...]
Sorry about the lack of creative posts lately. We’ve been doing a lot of boring adult-type things and we didn’t think you’d care much to read about the juicy details of radon tests or sewer scopes. Hopefully I can get my writing mojo back soon, but in the meantime here’s some belated Easter pics and [...]
Do you remember how I told you I don’t remember ever believing in Santa? Funny thing is, I do remember believing in the Easter bunny. I remember the year my parents told me he took my binky away and how traumatized I was. I didn’t like him. [...]
I waited in line for 25 minutes for these cupcakes. (Which apparently is a pretty short wait for this cupcakery.) I’m not really sure I’m sold on this whole cupcake trend (I mean, what about all the other delicious baked goods in this world?), but the place has rave reviews and I figured [...]

If this comes creased and creased again and soiled
as if I’d opened it a thousand times
to see if what I’d written here was right,
it’s all because I looked too long for [...]
When I was a junior in high school I found myself in a haphazardly thrown together group for a girl’s choice dance. Other than Emily, my best girlfriend, and her date, I barely knew any of the other group members — including my date. It was just one of those weird circumstances that was destined [...]
The best indication that something exciting is actually happening in our lives is our disappearance from the internet. Sad, but true. Let me briefly summarize the past two weeks. We journeyed to Utah via car, bus, train, and plane. Cooper received so many Christmas gifts that we had to increase our luggage by two bags [...]
