There was a recent study that indicated that religiosity in an adult is determined mostly by his/her relationship with her father while as a child. In other words, fathers have a great impact on the child. I was a little surprized by the finding, but then thought about it and decided that it does make some sense. So.... It makes sense to me that if that is the case, we ought to find times when we can let our children know how we feel about the Gospel. My kids remember the times that I had monthly interviews with them. Some of them were pretty poor interviews with both parties wondering what we were doing there, but it did give me a chance to talk to them about my feelings about the Church, Jesus Christ and my testimony of the Gospel. I would encourage all you dads to have a monthly interview with your kids. I know that it will bless the lives of your kids and you if you do.
The olympics are over! Now I can go to bed on time. Thank goodness!

The trail up the canyon is good up to Bridal Veil. I feel a ride coming soon. Tomorrow is March 1st and the weather is warming up. It it's good on Thursday Mom says she will ride with me on the tandem.
Emily is coming in April. I can't wait to spoil two little boys and their sister and go for a ride with my little girl Emily.
Life is good!!!!!!!

Happy Valentines Day
One happy baby.
I'm supposed to be decorating cookies, not eating them!
I'm supposed to be decorating cookies, not eating them!
I helped make this at pre-school. I am one handsome dude!
The best grandma on earth. She had to have some kids over to help her decorate cookies. We all had a wonderful time. It's just too bad all the grandkids weren't here. Hopefully they all get to decorate cookies at their own homes.
Valentines isn't the only day you should express your love to your loved ones, but it is a day you shouldn't miss. I want all my family to know how much I love them, especially my wife who is the light of my life. You are all very lucky to have her as a mother, grandmother, in-law and friend. She would do absolutely anything for her family.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day
