16 JunThoughts On Being “Dad”

I am the father of eight children. By today’s standards that is a lot. When people hear how many children I have they often ask me how I do it. That isn’t an easy question to answer. What I don’t tell them is I don’t know how I do it. I didn’t plan on having […]

19 MayThe Annual Fathers and Sons Campout

The other night was the annual father’s and son’s campout for our ward. The fathers and sons campout is a vestige of the “manly” days of yore.
