Today as our four year old class was coloring pictures based on our lesson on baptism, one small boy colored his picture all with only the color yellow. Then he turned and held his picture high saying: “It’s overflowing with pee!” As we tried to smother our chuckling, another boy quickly chimed in, “Pee from the toilet”.
Tonight we had the pleasure of having Jason McGowan cook dinner for us. He made a very delicious chicken dinner. It was so moist and tender, I was amazed. Rachel you better get to Utah fast if you’re going to catch this one! Maybe Jason will post his secret…

Whenever possible now, this family will be buying Sony electronics. We purchased a cybershot camera off ebay, about three weeks ago I had it in my pocket and while getting out of the car the camera and my thigh produced a pressure crack on the LCD screen. I was very sad, thinking there was no hope of a cheap fix. I looked up Sony’s website to check out the warranty. The product was under some kind of warranty, so I filled out a repair order form thinking I wouldn’t get it for free b/c it was my fault; but they would fix it cheaper than buying a new one. Well, we sent it off to them and they got it on Thursday the 16th, yesterday we got it back completely fixed for no charge! WOW I was shocked, thank you SONY you rock. I was very impressed with the speed and ease of getting our awesome SONY gear fixed.
I would just like to take a moment to thank the Terribilinis for their sudden flood (aka deluge) of participation, and all others who read and comment on our blog. We feel the love. I also like the extra drama it creates. The trophy pictured here is for each of you! To anyone who reads our blog and never comments, I rebuke you, meaning NO trophy. Thank you, and have a nice day.
“Do not expect perfection in your choice of a mate. Do not be so concerned about his physical appearance and his bank account that you overlook his more important qualities. Of course, he should be attractive to you, and he should be able to financially provide for you. But does he have a strong testimony? Does he live the principles of the gospel and magnify his priesthood? Is he active in his ward and stake? Does he love his home and family, and will he be a faithful husband and good father? These are the qualities that really matter.” –President Ezra Taft Benson, To the Single Adult Sisters of the Church, 9/24/88)
I like this quote because I think that people from our generation who are even interested in marriage at all are too focused on finding someone who is “perfect”, extremely good looking, or with a lot of money/financial security, which things can be desirable in this life, it’s true. However, these types of features are fleeting and shaky; they can change at any time, and don’t last into eternity anyway. I feel extremely blessed to be married to a guy who fulfills these types of eternal goals and who is a great husband and future father in the ways that truly matter. Yes, once again, I’m bragging about Pace! 😉
WORD = SPITCHOCK
Balderdash rules (for those who’ve never played): “The main objective is to make up answers that will bluff other players, as well as for choosing the real and often unbelievable answer. ONE per person. NO SEARCH ENGINES!
WORDS- What is the definition?
PEOPLE – What is the person known for?
INITIALS- What do they stand for?
MOVIES- What is this movie about?
DATES- What happend on this day?”
I am really thrilled right now because I feel a great weight lifted off my shoulders. You see, I have had a large trial in my life, that trial being a desire for sports. I have played many a sport in my time, only to be disgusted and dismayed by the amount of time and effort it took to find players. I have had to return them, get rid of them, etc., with a great lump of sorrow in my throat. But don’t worry any longer. All my problems are now solved, because Joy bought me something I have desired for many days: a set of golf clubs, brand new out of Costco! I love em. I just used em and my drive was completely pin straight after about 2 strokes, versus about 20 strokes that it used to take me. The main differences between these and a some used clubs are that they’re 100% new, very durable, fast, and I gets really good shots, so no waviness will be left behind after the swing is finished. Thanks, Joy

I am really thrilled right now because I feel a great weight lifted off my shoulders. You see, I have had a large trial in my life, that trial being wavy, thick hair that cannot be tamed by a typical flat iron. I have bought many a straightener in my time, only to be disgusted and dismayed by the amount of time and effort it took to tame these locks. I have had to return them, get rid of them, etc., with a great lump of sorrow in my throat. But don’t worry any longer. All my problems are now solved, because Pace bought me something I have desired for many years: a Farouk Chi Turbo 1″ flat iron, brand new off EBay! I love it. I just used it and my hair was completely pin straight after about 5 minutes’ work, versus about 20 minutes that it used to take me. The main differences between this and a regular flat iron are that it’s 100% ceramic, it’s very durable, it heats up really fast, and it gets really hot so no waviness will be left behind after its job is finished. Thanks, Pace!
Here is an update to raise more questions for our life. Bizsight Communications (Pace’s possible employer) is in the process of attaining an office in Orem, Utah. This means that we will either still move to Vegas to work there, or stay in Utah Valley area to work at the Orem office. Very interesting. Stay tuned to see what happens.
