Glen, Glen, Glen and Glen
by Mike on Mar.20, 2009, under General
Today, the most amazing, unexpected thing in the world happened. Grandpa Dodge came up from St. George! He never, NEVER makes the trip, but since Aunt Coleen is in the hospital very sick, he made the trip. I wish it were under better circumstances, but he’s here! And on the way up, he and Grandma both said they wanted to see the baby.
So here it is, a picture of all 4 Glen Dodges. And just for kicks, a picture of Glen, Glenna and Glen. Do you think we have overused this name? Or is it just taking this many attempts to get things right? We’ll just have to see.
James is so cute

James said something the other day that I have to repeat.
We were getting ready to go to the library on Monday and Mike told James to go get some pants on. He went upstairs to find some, then he comes running back to Mike saying,”Daddy, Mommy washed my pants for I can wear them, her nice.” Mike proceeds to correct his grammar, I just thought it was cute.
Hey there, Delilah!

Yesterday Johanna and I went out and bought a car. A beater. A 1995 Ford Windstar, to be exact. For a while I have been predicting that we wouldn’t last very long in the BMW with this many bodies to haul around…and waddayaknow, I was right on the money. But the concern was finding something that was affordable. Yesterday, someone posted an ad on KSL Classifieds, and we got the car for $750. Not bad, actually.
Oh, and the title of this post? Johanna suggested we name the car Delilah, and I was happy to oblige. So there you go – a nostalgiaic name for our newest car. Pictures soon to come.
Oh, and one more thing. If y’all could say a prayer that the beater keeps running, I would appreciate it. Johanna just mentioned Murphy’s Law and the new car in the same sentance…and I am now scared for it’s well being.
Don’t Drink the Water
by Mike on Feb.20, 2009, under Kidz
Once again, James is sick. He has been throwing up for two days (last night it was all over the bedsheets that we had just washed the day before). Right now it is so bad he can’t even keep down a drink for more than a few minutes. We are going to try some chicken broth by spoonfulls, just to try and get him some nourishment…but it makes me wonder if he will ever get the idea that drinking Chewie’s water is not good for him.
Granted, that might not be what happened this time…but he has a history of putting disgusting things in his mouth. Just the other day, I caught him licking the underside of the kitchen table. Who knows what kind of stuff you’d find there?!?!
Home sick from Church
by Mike on Feb.01, 2009, under General
So today I am home from church, sick. This morning I could barely move or talk, and as the day has worn on I have been feeling a bit better, but bored out of my mind. So I decided to retouch some of the photos that we had taken in the fall, to get ready for printing. By retouch, I mean take Aiden’s eyes from one photo, James’ face from another, and piece together something where it looks like our kids know how to stand still for the smallest of moments.
