This post is going to make my blog look like a Mommy Blog, but that’s ok.
Amber and the kids decided to make a “Backyard Water Park” out of PVC pipe and sprinkler heads. D designed it, and Amber glued it up for them. Judging by the pics, I think they enjoyed [...]

Last night we went to the free Jenny Lewis show at the Galivan Center in Salt Lake City.  Yes, most people probably called it the Bon Iver show, but for me it was all about Jenny Lewis.
