Another Mormon celebrity in the family!

chanson, April 7, 2008October 20, 2010

I’ll bet you thought John Hamer was my only celebrity Mormon sibling! Well, if you watched the Saturday session of General Conference attentively, you’ve learned otherwise!

Growing Up Mormon: Religious Addiction

June 10, 2007

When I was very young my parents drank, smoked and rarely went to any church. My father had been raised Mormon, but had left the religion to sow wild oats or something. My mother was a Norwegian Lutheran from North Dakota. She was the responsible one, never doing anything to…

A Secular Family Easter!!!

April 8, 2007October 20, 2010

Who’d have thought a religious holiday would be so conducive to learning about science?? But we learned by experiment last year that leaving eggs in a water-and-vinegar solution degrades the shells, and we applied that knowledge to do a better job on our egg-coloring adventure this year!!!

    Stuff like this makes me miss BYU.

    Then I remember that I was always too spineless to ask girls out when I was actually at BYU and I usually get over it.

    Seth — Yep, this is the BYU Concert Choir. And it’s true (I noticed as I was looking for my sis) that the girls in the choir are quite pretty… 🙂

    Slightly off topic, but those Motab views are PRICELESS to any artist. Nowhere else do you get such well defined faces, all from the same angle, all around the same age, nice dark background, and going through a range fo facial expressions together. Seriously, forget about the singing or the religious aspect. Somebody should sell those shots to 3D artists.
