If You Give a Garage Door Remote a Jiggle

by  0
I'm sure many of you are familiar with the children's book "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." I had a similar experience happen to me last week as I  tried to help my grandma with her garage door remote. It goes a little bit like this: If you give a garage door remote a jiggle with a screwdriver,  then you'll probably move something that wasn't meant to be moved. Once that something...

Parental Separation

by  0
Sarah and I had the opportunity to babysit some of my cousins while my aunt and uncle went on vacation for their 20th wedding anniversary.  I won't use their names for their protection on the internet, but those of you who know us and them will know who I'm talking about.  For those of you who don't know them, their family consists of a boy who is 14, a girl who is 12, a girl who is 10...

Frisbee

by  0
 Friday night, we went up Provo Canyon to have dinner with all of Sarah's siblings who live in the area.  After dinner, I was finally able to teach Sarah how to throw a frisbee, which has taken quite a while.  I'm not a die-hard, but I do enjoy a good game of ultimate every once in...

Graduation

by  0
On April 20th, I graduated from BYU with a Master of Accountancy degree as well as a Bachelor of Science in Accounting.  (I'm never really sure how to word those degrees in a sentence that sounds normal, but hopefully it will be easier to describe my degree once I've graduated with a PhD.  Also,...

Flag Football, Season 2

by  0
For those of you who are new to the BS Report, I coached Sarah's flag football team last fall, where they made it to the semifinals of the lower division tournament.  Sarah tells me that their first season (before I was coaching them) they only won one game.  The funny thing is I'm not sure...

We're Moving To...

For those who didn't know already, we're moving to Oklahoma in the fall, where I will be starting the PhD Program in Accounting at the University of Oklahoma.   I had Sarah take pictures of me while I was signing my offer before I mailed it out.    I felt like it was a really good...

Pancake Art

by  0
For a wedding gift, someone gave us a couple pancake molds that you put  on the griddle and pour the badder into as well as a "pancake pen"  that you put the badder into and use to draw pancake pictures.    I'm sure this was meant as a gift to use when we have kids so that...

Pinewood Derby

by  0
Nothing brings the kid out in you quite like a good pinewood derby. In March, our Elders Quorum held a pinewood derby, because as we all know, pinewood derbies aren't a competition between the boys  but rather a competition between the dads. (And the fact that we have like three young men...

Snowshoeing

by  0
Because my brother-in-law Quinn works for the Outdoor Adventure Center at UVU (where you can rent different outdoor equipment or sign up for various adventurous day trips) and because not enough students signed up for the snowshoeing adventure, Sarah and I found ourselves hiking up a mountain in American...

First Christmas

I realize we're always six months away from Christmas,  but that doesn't mean I can't share some Christmastime pictures with you.    Our Christmas Tree       I'm sure this was the picture combination everyone has been waiting for since Christmas. For those...

Return of the BS

by  1
I always laugh to when I look at people's blogs and every post starts with something like  "I can't believe it's been so long since I've blogged.   I told myself I wouldn't do this when I started my blog." There are a few reasons that I haven't updated the blog in a while.   I will enumerate just a few for you: 1.  I wanted everyone who visited my blog to know how much I love...
