You Should’ve Been in (my) Pictures
The year 2010 has been a huge and eventful one for me and my family, so you can expect to see me continue writing about it in the coming months (and perhaps years, it just depends on how boring/exciting 2011 turns out to be). For now, since I’m participating in the Kodak Gallery giveaway, I’ll [...]
How I Got Out of a Speeding Ticket in Colorado
The boys and I had been driving all day on our way to summer camp in Colorado. We were tired, hungry, and getting on each others’ nerves. Jyl was in a luxury hotel in New York City, while I was trekking through the night in a pouring rain. For the hundredth time that day, one [...]
The Time I Took the Toyota to Target
There I was, in the parking lot at Target, walking back to my car. Late-model Toyota Highlander, gold in color. The boys were behind me somewhere, probably running with scissors in front of fast-moving cars. I had only two bags, so I had already ditched the shopping cart.

The Road Trip: How it all began
Against all laws of logic and reason I’ve decided to write an explanation to the image I posted a week ago. As you can tell from my history, I typically try to post every 2-3 months or so. But here I am, just a week later, posting again! Okay, back to our story. On July [...]
Over the River and Around the World to Grandmother’s House We Go
What I had originally imagined to be a week-long trip to see the in-laws had become much more. Much MUCH more. You see, my in-laws live in Guatemala, which is a good thing. Wait, that didn’t sound right. It’s a good thing because it means we got to visit Guatemala, a country we had never [...]
How Our Family Experienced Easter in Antigua, Guatemala
Nothing like being dadventurous and teaching my kids life-long lessons, including cultural traditions at the same time. I hope you like this video my wife, @jylpattee from Mom It Forward, put together of our recent visit to Antigua, Guatemala, where we celebrated Holy Week by watching a Catholic procession, showing Christ’s death.

Ski Lessons Prepare Kids for 2014 Winter Olympics
So I finally did it. For years I’ve wanted my boys to learn to ski, but the seasons kept speeding by and the boys kept getting older. I was afraid if I didn’t hurry and take them, I’d miss teaching them to ski while they were still young. Enter Krista Parry of Park City Mountain [...]
