These were fun to come up with and make. I found some good ideas online as usual, and made use of lots of fun paper. Read more →

Spring Cleaning!
What a whirlwind the past couple of weeks have been. First an announcement, and then an explanation. I have quit my job in the lab and withdrawn from school. While this may come as a shock to some of you, those of you who know me closely know there was a lot of soul-searching that led to this decision. I haven’t… Read more →

My Parents have a Blog!
My mom recently decided to start a blog about day-to-day farm life for anyone who is interested. http://wifarmlife.blogspot.com/ It will probably be boring for all my farm-kid friends…but for some others who wonder what goes on on a dairy farm, it may be interesting. Hopefully my parents can find time to keep it updated frequently! S.~ Read more →
Christmas 2010
This year I followed through on last year’s promise to START EARLIER on my gifts, and was done with everything in early December. This year the mom’s and grandma’s (and Jen) got a box set of 12 handmade cards for various occassions, complete with envelopes, return address labels, stamps, and a pen! (There are more than 12 pictures…not everyone got exactly… Read more →
We Wish You a Merry Christmas!
After learning from the Christmas debacle of 2009, this year was about simplicity. These were the note cards I included with our Christmas letter this year. The green and red note cards were just flat cards that I ordered pre-cut. The tree was cut out using my cricut, and the saying was just your run of the mill ink-jet printer… Read more →
Addendum:
I almost forgot to mention we got our first “real” Christmas tree this year! Merry Christmas everyone! We also treated ourselves to a new TV for Christmas. The 26″ LED LCD is a major upgrade from the basic Walmart TV I took along to college 10 years ago (and we were still using until last week). Merry Christmas to us!… Read more →
Dear Blog…
November was a fun month. We took a trip to WI to surprise my family for Thanksgiving. I have not been home for Thanksgiving since I moved to Utah 5 years ago, so my family really didn’t expect us to be there, giving us the perfect opportunity to surprise them. We purchased our plane tickets mid-September and managed to keep… Read more →
Christmas Letter 2010 (written by Jason)
2010 was a fascinating and busy year, including everything from above average travelling to urban skunks and raccoons. We started the year with a visit to the frozen WI countryside in January—my first winter visit to the Midwest. The thermometer in our rental car had negative numbers and single digits showing on it most of the time. Although it was… Read more →
Clarity
As many of you already know, work for me lately has been just that…work. The variation in my day to day job I loved when I started 5 years ago has slowly eroded until I’ve found myself sitting in front of my computer tracking data 8 hours a day–day in day out. It’s not even so much the tracking data that’s… Read more →
