If I Had $100 Burning a Hole In My Pocket...

I. would. purchase. this. print.

I studied typography in college and have always been drawn in by samples of type. This just blew me away when I saw it.

The combination of letterpress and typography is absolutely stunning. It was created by designer Cameron Moll. More images here.

Chocolate

Ty told me the other day that he wasn't going to like chocolate any more because it gives him a tummy ache.
"But," he added, "my head keeps telling me to eat it!"

My head tells me the same thing!

Life According To Ty

Ty discovered the camera last week and conducted his own little photo shoot. It is a perfect representation of the Things That Are Important To Ty.

the activity book he picked out at the BYU bookstore


The session ended with quite a few shots of big brother along with about 20 one second videos of briggs smiling because Ty didn't realize it was in video mode.

Meet Frosty

The kids have always wanted a dog.

Brian and I have not.

Because we have 3 kids.

So what do I do? I answer a Craiglist ad and become...

A Doggy Daycare provider!

Now we have Frosty three or four days a week. He runs errands with me in the car. He joins me for my morning run, and he keeps the kids entertained and active (they all want to take him for a walk).

Now, this situation could have turned out to be a disaster. But we lucked out and got a dog who has Briggs's personality. He rarely barks. He doesn't chew on things or leave his mark in a stinky-oh-great-I-have-to-clean-that-up way. And he never runs off or chases people or other dogs.

The best part is, he pays for most of the kids extra curricular activities.

Part time pet + money = win/win situation.

Take that! Financial Gremlins!

Look What Ty Found on a Walk in the Neighborhood!

This is what you get when you try to cook dinner while listening to your ipod.





Your four year old goes for a walk a finds a snake the size of your arm!
It turns out a neighbor found it on his way home from work and brought it home to show his daughter.

Then it escaped from his car.

Then Ty found it.
