As most of you are aware, last August Linda and I discovered a “problem” in our kitchen — buckling in the hardwood floor, among other things. A plumber friend found that the outlet hose of our dishwasher had been eaten by a hungry rat, and in addition to the water damage on the floor, there Continue reading Our kitchen remodel is done! But we try anyway. Yes, it really is very nice here in sunny San Diego. The heavy rains are gone, and Christmas is lovely. Here are some photos we took. Please join in and add some Christmas photos of your own! Jonas and Rachelle trimming the tree Christmas morning — Continue reading It’s hard to be in the Christmas spirit when it’s sunny on the beach Ariel and Obi-Wan Kenobi. Grandma Bailey once told me that I wouldn’t be an important grandchild until I had babies. I think she’s probably right – it’s basically impossible to beat pictures of Cora, Kacee, Brooke, Jonas, Rachelle, and Beckett being so darn adorable. But, as I’ve discovered this summer, there sure are a lot of upsides to being Continue reading The Upside of Being Single On Aug 23 Michelle and I hiked to the top of Mt Dana in Yosemite, which at 13,075 ft is the second-highest mountain in Yosemite (after Mt Lyell).

Here are some photos: Sierra Buttes from the road, on our way to the trailhead: Photo Close-up shot of summit — note there is Continue reading 60-year-old grandmother hikes to top of jagged Sierra Buttes Adam and I met two years ago when he was rappelling from a skylight into the gym dressed as Batman for the annual Singles Ward Film Festival. They asked Adam to host this year’s Tim Burton themed event as Willy Wonka even though we graduated from being singles. I went as the White Queen from Continue reading When you’re single, you have a lot of free time to decorate ward activities… Yep, that’s me on the trainer just before I beat Lance Armstrong who was racing on the TV in front of me. After beating Lance a few times on the new bike I got for my birthday (I love you Adam!), we set out for two 25 mile rides along the beach and are taking Continue reading Does this make us yuppies? Juice’s Brazilian Jiu Jitsu school is opening this month and the local Fox affiliate’s morning show featured him, his partner Rafael, and two very small special guests!
