Love School Alumni

One of the best parts about our relationship is that we are very affectionate with each other. We really like each other, and we like to show it. We often hear our boys shouting in disgust, "Ewww! They're kissing." Several times one of them has asked, "Why do you guys always kiss each other every time you see each other?" Our youngest son, Buddy Boy, even gets in on it by demanding, quite clearly, "Stop kissing!"

Our oldest child, the Princess of Awesomeness, has been wondering how on earth people end up like us. She tells us she thinks that there must be some secret school we attended that teaches people how to be in love. In fact, she has declared several times that we are lying when we say there is no such school. She is convinced that there is, in fact, a "Love School."

On the way home from church today, she was again asking how on earth we learned to be so in love. We explained that you read your scriptures, say your prayers, and regularly attend the temple. The Princess of Awesomeness exclaimed in wonder,

"That's where you learned to grab each other's bottoms???"

Baby Preslee


This little angel was so sweet. She hardly acknowledged that we moved her around so much while she slept. A few grunts and she was content again. She did awaken near the end and gave us a beautiful smile.

Quantum Physics, Maslow, and a Four Year Old

(Quantum Physics from enlightearth.com)

Some of the best (by which, of course, I mean funniest) conversations I have ever had have been with my children in a public bathroom. I'm not sure what the reason is, but our kids seem to have their deepest thoughts while sequestered in the stall. This Sunday at church I took our four year old, Rock Star, to the bathroom. While he was doing his business, we had the following conversation.

RS: Dad, guess what I don't know.

Me: Um, quantum physics?

RS: Nope. I know that. Guess what I don't know.

Me: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs?

RS: What?

Me: Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

RS: Um. OK. Guess what else I don't know. There's two things: that, and one other thing.

Unfortunately, I was laughing too hard at this point to hear what the one other thing is in the world beside Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs that our four year old does not know.

I'm glad he's already mastered quantum physics, though. It would be a little disappointing to have him enter kindergarten without a firm grasp of that one!

Baby Logan



This cute little guy was so much fun. He was awake when we started which was perfect to catch his beautiful eyes. Then he was even fantastic enough to go to sleep for some adorable sleeping shots.







I love how much his brother and sister totally love him. They were both so excited just to be by him.
