Pi Day (3.141592653589793238462643383279...)

I've always been a big fan of math...and pie. So this happens to be the perfect day to celebrate both!

Can you make a rat cage?

That was the question that spurred our crazy Saturday adventure. We went to Home Depot to brain storm cage ideas...and we ended up buying all the supplies. We have been looking into buying a new cage, our rats are getting too big for their hamster cage, this cut the new cage cost in half.

Husband o' Mine

I married the accumulation of everything sweet, wonderful, amazing, and intelligent. He is the best man ever. Just thought you should know.

Hard times ahead for all of us

As Sariah and I were going into the temple this last Friday, we went our separate ways to the locker rooms and as I rounded the corner to mine, I noticed a sign that said "Name Issue." Just below the words was an arrow pointing in the direction of said issue, but as my eyes followed to where the arrow pointed, they landed on something unexpected: a little old man sitting quietly about two feet from the sign. He wore a suit and a confused look on his face. I couldn't help but stop and ponder on the how the situation came together. I finally concluded that he must've forgotten what his name was and his fellow temple workers were hoping to recruit anyone possible who could assist him in resolving what came to be known as the "name issue."

Aren't we a little old for this?

This was my first thought when I looked out the kitchen window. It also was running through my mind as I stomped around cleaning up the mess. The pictures only show a small portion, they got every tree in the yard and all the fences. Thank you dear friend or stranger who made us feel like the most popular sixteen year-olds on the block again...
