A friend recently let me borrow book “In Search of Balance” by Richard A. Swenson. Dr. Swenson,who is a M.D. and a Christian, brings his perspective and research to bear on our current pace of life in our western culture.

We’ve really enjoyed our Wii since we got it Christmas 2007. Its the perfect tool to get the kids up and active when its freezing outside. Here is a short clip of TJ boxing with his cousin Jedd this past Christmas.
Well I’m officially in the Christmas Spirit and here is why: Finally got our tree up. We had to replace all of the lights this year so we went with color LED lights.

Our family had an eventful weekend. We drove to Meridian on Friday and while TJ went to work with me (Thanks to everyone at work who assisted me!), JJ and the girls attended a Flat Stanley musical at the Riley Center.

We had TJ’s second birthday party and McDonald’s playland on Monday. It was CRAZY! We had 274 kids {well maybe it was only 20- seemed like 274} crammed into a very small area; the kids loved it! The theme of the party was dump-trucks. While the theme wasn’t that creative the cake was (see the photo), but [...]
