I spent some time today looking at a group on Flickr called “The Items We Carry.” For this group, you take a picture of everything that you carry in your pockets or purse and use on a daily basis. It was really quite interesting and curiosity-quenching. If I didn’t
Of all the commandments lovingly given from our Heavenly Father, the law of tithing is among my favorite. In the Mormon Church, tithing is defined as “a commandment from the Lord to pay one tenth of one’s annual increase or income for the building of His Church on the
The longer I use the iPhone, the more I love it. Yes, love it. (Why don’t you marry it?-Because I’m already married.) A few reasons: 1) It’s built incredibly solid. At first, you carry it around like it’s a glass bubble, but the more you
My family (pictured above) just got back from a fun week in Oceanside, CA. This was Cole’s first big trip and he did great. He didn’t make a peep the whole drive there or the whole drive back. He was a little champ tagging along for a train
While we’re away on vacation, I thought I’d try something new. When I take a picture with my iPhone, it automatically gets uploaded to flickr and then lands in the sidebar of this blog. so now Grandma Susan can always know what little Cole George is up to
Are you tired of the Cole posts yet? Well, here’s another anyway. Cole is such a nice boy. Even when we lay him down to sleep he is calm and observant. Above his bed, we have a monkey mobile that we turn on to put him to sleep. Cole
For as long as I remember, I’ve been so excited to have my first son. My plan has always been to teach him baseball, guitar, prepare him for a mission and name him George. It’s tradition in my family to have the oldest son with the middle name
Take a minute and picture this scenario. You turn on your computer tomorrow and it is completely busted. The OS won’t start up, the hard drive won’t spin and you’ll never see anything that was on there again. Would there be any pictures you might miss? Maybe
Candace and I were able to get two iPhones last night to replace our old phones. Put simply, it is more amazing than I was even expecting. Even without all the incredible email, maps, video, and music feature it is just the most incredible phone. Everything else seems so juvenile
Just before the last General Conference of the Mormon Church, the church made available for purchase “The Testaments of One Fold and One Shepherd.” Previously, this movie was only shown at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on Temple Square. “This film depicts events from the life and ministry of Jesus
I’ve always enjoyed collecting good quotes. Whenever I hear a good one, I’ll use my phone to send a note to my email inbox to file it away. For a long time, I would just add them to an ever-growing word document. That works fine for safe-keeping, but
I have two sisters coming in town this weekend to meet Cole. I think it’s so nice that they’re coming all the way here just to see him so here are two pictures to help ease the drive. (I have yet to get Cole into my studio. I’
When I was serving as a missionary for the Mormon church, I ended each day by writing a full page in my journal. I had never been a big journal writer, but I made a promise to my uncle that I wouldn’t miss a day. Now, that 800 page
Now that we are a couple days since the birth of Cole, things have slowed down just a little. I’ve had a lot of emails asking for some photos, so here comes the obligatory newborn photo. I haven’t even unloaded my camera yet, but this one was taken
My son was born last night. Cole George Stucki came at 5:55PM and weight 8lbs 7oz. He’s nineteeen inches long and has a head full of dark hair. Candace and I are so excited, and I’m so proud of her. There will obviously be plenty more on
Since we signed up for Netflix about six months ago, I’ve seen a lot of movies that I haven’t watched for a long time. These are the movies that you never think to grab at the video store, or they just aren’t stocked because they aren’t
