WE HAVE MOVED!

As many of you know, we are looking to adopt and are asking for your help. We have an adoption blog that gives greater insight into our family that we update often. If you don’t mind adding us to your blog side bar with the title “HOPING TO ADOPT” so that others who visit your blog can see ours as well. We ask that if you do add us to your sidebar then to please take off the link for this blog which most people have titled Kerry and Miranda. Our new blog address is:

www.kerryandmiranda.blogspot.com

Thanks so much for your help and please keep us in your prayers that we will someday be blessed with the opportunity to have another child, or 2, or 3 to add to our family and home.

Thanks so much,
Kerry, Miranda & Logan

Mostly for peace of mind.

If you would like to still have access to this blog please leave your first and last name with your email address in the comments area, or email at my first initial, last name @ gmail.com. Thanks!

Halloween Costume

2008-11-02T20:46:00.000-08:00

Miranda: I know...a witch is sooooo original. hee hee. That is the best I could come up with since I spent so much time helping Kerry with his costume. We had a great halloween!

(Source: http://kcusack.blogspot.com/)

Miranda: Well, here it is... Kerry's departments' theme this year was Ghostbusters. So, Kerry decided to make a Stay Puft Marshmallow Man costume. After LOTS of hours and TONS of white duct tape, he won 1st place for the costume contest out of approx 500 people. Not bad huh! He's walking on 5 gallon buckets and so he towers over everyone. He had lots of fun this year for halloween if you can't tell. And of course we can't forget our super sweet fireman.

Kerry: This picture was after about 7 hours of being in it and walking somewhere around 1.5 miles total. Way fun! Sore muscles? Yes.

Okay, I really like the game Guitar Hero but I don't consider myself one of those people who detach themselves from all civilization just so they could be attached to the game 24-7.

photo credit

I like it and I probably play it realistically 1-2 times every 2 weeks. I'll usually sit down and play a hand full of songs then carry on with my life. Well tonight I dueled a guy on the game called Lou (Lucifer?). Remix of "The Devil Went Down To Georgia".

He's the last dual to win the game. (See, I knew I'd sound shallow telling you this.)

Anyway, on my way to winning the game our neighbors came over to watch a pre-scheduled movie. I was so wrapped up in the game that they (needless to say) ended up standing on our porch for a couple minutes before Miranda finally heard them and opened the door.

And as another fine point I got a cool blister from jamming!
The funniest thing of all was that Miranda didn't think I should post this on my blog for fear of making it look like I was a Guitar Hero Nerd. Well, I think I did pretty well of dodging that bullet....

...huh?

....don't you?

...You what?!?

You're right I'm pathetic. :)

Roses are red, something else is blue and white and black...

2008-09-21T20:59:00.000-07:00

This last weekend I had the honor of attending a wedding for an awesome couple, Craig (My Brother) and Whitney. It was extremely beautiful and you could tell that they really love each other and that they are willing to do whatever it takes to be together forever. I wanted to share some fun pictures of their wedding and the joy that they/we all had.

Yes, yours truly gave the toast. Best you've ever heard. ;)

And they lived happily ever after (Honeymooning in Hawaii...)

Bee Vs. Praying Mantis

2008-09-21T20:01:00.000-07:00

So Logan has been watching a praying mantis for the last couple days hang around one of our outdoor driveway lights. When he goes out to ride his bike he checks to see if it's still there. His fascination has grown ever since I caught one for him and put it in his bug holder. It has an attached magnifying glass. When you look through it, it looks like you've got a 500lbs. mantis on your hands, okay 750lbs. for a guy Logan's size.

Come to think of it, it's probably the same one that we caught. Anyway, as I looked I noticed that there was a honey bee buzzing the light. This caught my attention. Now from what I gather in the animal kingdom bees are NOT something to be messed with (believe me, growing up as a grandson to a huge bee keeper it was all fun and games until one shot like a bullet up your pant leg destined to teach you a lesson), but from what I've studied neither are praying mantis' either, probably more so. So I decided I'd hang around to see what was going to happen, I could tell that something was going to happen because of the way the praying mantis' head was locked on target to that bee. As it kept flying around, his head would spin around and watch it without flinching or missing a beat at all. Then all of a sudden Whamo! The Praying Mantis shot out and latched onto the bee mid-flight and started enjoying honey dipped shishkabobs.
(The end, good night kids try to have good dreams...he, he.)
Yummy

I'm just wondering, do you think that to the mantis the bee is like a honey flavored dessert?

Anybody wanna see my new Project?

Let me know what you think.

The site is temporaryily under construction. I'll let you know when it's back open. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Please keep in mind that I'm just gathering info for now and that it's a work in progress.

I just love boats and boating so much that I thought it'd be fun to have an informative web site built for Utahns.

That picture's hilarious!

I'm alive

2008-09-10T19:13:00.000-07:00

I made it! Well the dentist didn't kill me. Actually I'd recommend the Dentistry to others. The dentist and his team has done great so far. They were very courteous to make sure I was comfortable and completely numb (reference to Pink Floyd?). Currently, I have a temporary cap that I'll have for about 2 weeks. It's not bad, or painful and honestly the worst part about the procedure was the initial shot to numb my mouth. (Ironic?) The most I took were a couple ibuprofen right after and that's it. The crown really isn't extremely smooth and because of that I find that I'm rubbing my tongue on it all the time. Practically wearing my tongue out on it because it feels slightly different. Anyway, I wanted to let everyone know that I'm alive and my teeth look pretty good. :) I even ate a burrito 3-4 hours after. Yee Haa!

Jessica, yes I think I do grind a bit. (I decided a mouthguard at night would be a good idea.) lol

Today's Entry - (I know it's not original!!)

2008-09-08T20:13:00.000-07:00

Sooooooo, I have thought that for the last couple days that my mollar tooth upper left all the way in the back has been sensitive and when I bit down on things it would hurt a bit. So I told Miranda that I probably had a cavity and that I would like to see the Dentist. So far i've been so lucky to just have two. She called and they scheduled me as soon as the dentist's found that I was in pain. (Green light huh?) Anyway, I went right in within 1 hour's notice. The doctor took x-ray's and used a pressure treatment tool that pushes down on the tooth at different angles. Well, come to find out I have a fracture in my tooth and I'm supposed to be dead within 24 hours...(Just checking to see if you were listening)

Anyway, he wants to do a Crown. I told him I was flattered but I'm really not royalty. So I get to go in to the Dentist's office tomorrow and see what amount of damage I can tolerate to my face...

Can anyone tell that I'm not looking forward to this? Does anybody have any good story about this happening, because if not I'm in trouble...The worst experience of my life happened at the Dentist's chair. If there are enough requests I'll bore you with the details.

Anyway if I don't post anything else ever again on this blog please know that I intended to, and that if I'm missing please check the Dentist's office. :)

I know, I know many of you are saying, "Sheesh did Kerry fall off the face of the earth"? We'll actually I did, Just kidding that would be silly. However we did get really close, :)

This last weekend our great friends took us down to meet their family in the great state of Parowan, (it's pronounced Pare-oh-wann) for those of you that don't know where it is it's by Cedar Breaks. Way fun, Most of all it was really relaxing and just nice to get away. The Boyz (Logan and our Neighbor Seth [Same age]) were great most of the time. They are so competitive with each other. Sometimes it's kinda funny. They'll throw a hat in front of them about 5' out and race to it and then do it again. They are very clear who won the last race and who will win the next race.

So anyway we visited the Bryce Canyon and the beautiful vistas and we're back and having fun. I wanted to at least get something up because it's been so long. Thanks NMSS!

"Rated R" - Just Kidding

2008-08-17T18:23:00.001-07:00

May of you know that I have this funny habit of saying "Rated R" periodically. this explains where my weird twitch is based on. My brother and I just started saying it one day and then couldn't stop because it was too funny. Mostly because of the way it's said and how it's drilled into us at the end of almost every movie trailer. Anyway, enjoy.

Some Fun Junk

2008-08-17T14:54:00.000-07:00

So for work my company does Halloween. I mean really does Halloween. Planning for it starts months in advance. Our department is going to be dressing up as superheroes. So naturally I went looking for what I wanted to be online. I came across a quiz that tells you what superhero you are most like personality-wise. These were my results. I challenge anyone that reads this to run the quiz and see who you are. Please leave your results in the comments to this posting. :)

Your results:
You are Superman

Superman		100%
Spider-Man		80%
Iron Man		65%
Robin		65%
The Flash		50%
Batman		45%
Green Lantern		40%
Hulk		25%

You are mild-mannered, good,
strong and you love to help others.

I'm so flattered... ;)

And for those of you that were wondering, you will not have the misfortune of seeing me wearing tights for Halloween. Yee Har!

BTW, Miranda's was a tie between:

Which Female Action Hero Are You?

You are part Wonder Woman. You have a powerful and strong personality, and you use your persuasiveness and wisdom to keep firm control over your world. You are hard to break.

You are part Princess Leia. You are down-to-earth and stick to a rigid sense of ethics. Nerds may lust over you, but everyone looks to you for your grounded logic and intellect.

Who would have thought it, me, married to a Wonder Woman and Princess Leia combination. Wow, i'm in heaven. lol

Any Suggestions?

As many of you know Miranda and I have been trying to adopt. Of course this opens up to an interesting predicament. As you can imagine it's quite difficult to put a billboard out there with our family picture that says "looking to adopt". With my luck it'd be right next to a billboard like one of these:

On the other hand you can't exactly go up to a pregnant woman and say are you gonna keep that? - I'm thinking not. :)

So I'm calling on my friends and family to help me think through this. My brain is about fizzeled out. I'm looking for good ideas that will gently let a potential birthmother, who is looking to place for adoption, know about our sweet little family.

If you have any ideas please let us know, you never know, if you are the bridge that enables us to add onto our family maybe we'll name the child after you...unless your name is Franken. :)

Some adoption resources are:

Our Deepest Fear...

2008-08-12T12:09:00.000-07:00

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”

- Marianne Williamson

Making the best of an interesting predicament

2008-07-26T21:44:00.000-07:00

I first of all wanted to thank everyone for their kind comments on the previous blog entry. The poem came abnormally easy and it was quite therapeutic. It REALLY has been a big comfort knowing that there are so many people that are concerned along with us. So thanks and here’s a friendly hug.

I saw this on my phone and I wanted to share it with everyone. When we were making the trek to Washington, we stopped at Dairy Queen and we gave Logan a box that held his fries and part of a hamburger. Miranda was taking a turn driving on our 15 hour car ride. She and I were engaged in conversation when I realized that the back of the car was rather quiet (which never happens with a three-year-old). As soon as I realized the quietness I heard a series of “umpffs”, “errrrrr”, and “hummmm”. I looked back to see what was going on. I quickly realized that Logan has stuck his finger in the box’s hole and it was stuck. When he saw me he began to laugh so I had to take a picture with my cell phone.

We had a good chuckle, and then of course I free'd the poor helpless (and cute) finger.

A Parent's Prayer

2008-07-23T20:10:00.000-07:00

Empty Hearts, because of empty hands
Empty bed and several changed plans
-
Will it stop I know not when
Will the opportunity come again
-
Will he get to play with another
Would it be a sister or a brother
-
Toys that sit for another time
Waiting on a nursery rhyme
-
Of my blessings, I have to think
Of my gratitude I will not shrink
-
My father is at the helm
Even when my feelings overwhelm
-
Thanks for the opportunity to grow
And of thy love I better know
-
Here we are father, my family of three
Kneeling down in gratitude and praying to thee

-Kerry

Mudd Ducks!!

2008-07-16T18:13:00.000-07:00

So the story goes that we were finishing a light post in our back yard and it was a really, really hot day. Logan had been playing in the extremely dusty dirt and his face was really red. I started to hose a 7' X 7' circle of dirt, making it muddy. Logan came over because he was mostly curious to see what Dad was doing. I began to take my shoes and socks off, and before we knew it we were both knee deep in mud and having a great time. We built Snow Men, Aka...Mud Men and Logan even started a mud fight. :)

I’m just a little black rain cloud
Hovering under the honey tree
I’m just a little black rain cloud
Pay no attention to little me
Everyone knows that a rain cloud
Never eats honey, no, not a nip
I’m just floating around over the ground
Wondering where I will drip

Gone Fishin'

2008-06-29T16:55:00.000-07:00

Logan had his first fishing trip on the 21st. We sure had fun. Logan, Daddy and Grandpa. We went in the middle of the day (when fish usually don't bite) and caught a perfect 13-14" fish on the 3rd cast. I'm 110% sold on the idea that Jake's Lures are the best. Gold or Silver with red dots really get the fish biting. Quite frequently I'll cast once and get a solid hit.

(credit: jakeslures.com )

Additionally, I've always fished the local (and sometimes not so local lakes) but after enjoying a dinner of perfect fish with butter, garlic and lime, I think i'm sold on river fish. :)

Part of the special preparation gear. Grandpa and Logan's hat.

I really am amazed how much of a natural Logan is with casting. I got him a Scooby Doo fishing pole (one of the miniatures, abt. 3') that comes with a 2.5" orange plastic fish that acts as a good weight to practice casting with. He practices in the house all the time. He can seriously cast it about 30-40'. After I gave him a hook, I could tell that it took some getting-used-to, I was proud that he only got it in his clothes once or twice. Grandpa sure helped with the coaching. After the first keeper and a couple bites I caught a small one. I let Logan reel it in and release it, he sure loved it. I think he's now got the fishing bug. Everytime we're driving around and he sees a lake or river he says Daddy or Mommy, we could fish there. ;)

2008-06-27T14:14:00.000-07:00

Well, we’ve had several people ask for a tour of the inside of our new home. So, here it is…

This is a picture of the outside of our home. The front came landscaped, but the side of the house and the backyard were left up to us. The shutters are a weird natural brown color that we think kind of clashes with the rest of the colors of the house, so we will be painting them a dark brown to match the front door. The vinyl for the front door was designed by Delicate Expressions. So feel free to check their website out for Custom Vinyl Designs and Ideas for your home! www.DelicateExpressions.com

Here is a picture of the inside of our home looking at the front door.

Next are two pictures of the front room by the entry way. As so you can see by the stuff on the floor, we’re still unpacking and deciding where things should go.

Here’s a closer look at our living room. The big white thing on the bottom left of the 1st picture is the stairway to get to the basement. The 2nd picture is Logan after a LONG day playing outside. He has fallen asleep on the couch watching a Disney movie. Wow, sometimes it's so rough to be a kid. ;)

Next is our kitchen. The following 4 pictures give you different views since I couldn’t capture it all in 1 photo. Miranda loves having a bigger kitchen than our last house so she actually has room to store things and both of us can work in the kitchen at the same time without bumping into each other.

Next is our formal dining room. However, we don’t have a formal dining room table yet and they carpeted the room so as of now, it is Miranda’s office until we finish another room downstairs. The house has 4 bedrooms, but we chose to use the 4th bedroom as a guest room instead of an office so we will have a comfy place for visitors to stay.

Next is the laundry room. It is so nice to have the laundry room on the main floor.

As you head to the other side of the house where the bedrooms are, you pass by the bathroom. Here it is in 2 different shots.

Next are the bedrooms. We didn’t take a photo of the guestroom, but here are the other 3. Here is Logan’s room.

Next is the baby’s room. Well, here is a picture of the crib anyway. Miranda made this entire bedding set. Pretty good huh!

Next we move onto the master bedroom. Miranda says that the colors kind of clash (the bedspread and the lounge) so she has been looking for a bedspread to match the lounge and has yet to find one. If anyone finds anything, please let her know. :)

Here is our master bathroom.

And finally, our backyard. We still have a LOT of work to do back there.

And with that…the tour has come to an end. We LOVE our new home and hope that if you are ever in the area, you will come and visit us for a while. We have plenty of room for visitors.

Eternally Yours

We went to the Mormon Miracle Pageant in Manti. It was a lot of fun. We showed up there early and got great seats. The worst part were the mosquitoes but I don't think that we were bitten too badly because they seemed to disappear after dusk. Some lady about 3 rows in front of us was so nice. She let us all use her Mosquito spray. I think that helped a lot. The temperature was cool but not cold. At least this year it wasn't raining like the last time we went. The actors were slipping all over the hill. We as a family had a lot of fun.

This was the first time Miranda's parent's had been and they thought it was great. We had a lot of fun with them. They came in town for the weekend just to be with us and have fun.

Even though this was a miss-fire I thought that it's kinda cute. Miranda and I tried to do a picture, (you know snuggle in and hold the camera up in the air and get both together). I bet you can't figure out who was holding the camera. lol

Phew! We got some help. ;)

Logan had a blast.

What a gorgeous building. I just can't understand why some people are so quick to judge the LDS church. Talk to some missionaries, read the Book of Mormon and make your own decisions.

Well needless to say, we definitely had a good time. We got home a bit late but we made good time. Paid $3 for perfect parking too. Good times.

We're having a boy!

2008-06-16T09:03:00.000-07:00

We have officially been chosen to adopt!!! YEAH!!! We met with the birthparents the end of May where they officially announced that they have chosen us to raise their little boy. The due date July 7th and so we are super busy trying to get the nursery up and ready, diapers & formula purchased, and all of the other fun things that happens when a baby joins your family. We are so excited and can’t wait for the arrival of our soon to be baby boy! Logan insists that he’s going to help feed the baby all by himself and change diapers as well. We’ll have to see how long the diaper changing thing lasts. I think I’ll give him till his first poopy diaper till he decides he’ll stick to the bottles only. He is so excited to be a big brother and tells us so every day. We’ve been trying to think of names and Logan insists on naming the baby “Frankin.”
I don't think I'd like others to associate our boy with this...lol
It’s so funny the things little kids say.

Anyway, we just wanted to let everyone know about our GREAT news and hope you will share in the excitement with us. We feel so blessed to have met the birthparents and for the great sacrifice they are making for their child. We can’t say enough good things about the both of them and are excited to have them in our lives as well.

So, let the countdown begin….20 days to go (unless the baby comes early)

Happy Father's Day

2008-06-15T14:27:00.000-07:00

I think I rank pretty good. Today for father's day I got a brownie and a sweet(big) Mug filled to the brim with a Rootbeer float. Mmmmmm..... Delicious.

This is a picture of Miranda and Logan singing Happy Father's Day to me (using the tune from Happy Birthday). You could tell that they had been rehearsing. A nice thought that I'd like to remember forever. :-)

Pictures from our trip to Washington

2008-06-12T15:35:00.000-07:00

Here are some pictures from our trip to Washington. We seriously had a lot of fun just being with the family and hanging out. Friday and Saturday we went to the beach and searched for sea shells. Then on Saturday we went to a local street jamboree that was like a swap meet on the street but there were people performing (like San Francisco).

This is Logan and I watching a quartet of men (singing out of a very old school truck). They were really good. He and I spent a couple minutes bouncing up and down to the beat. Classics like My girl, and Under The Boardwalk.

Logan made a cucumber race car (okay daddy helped). He did well, he'd grab a piece of pipe cleaner or something and we'd design it accordingly. He was so nice, he gave it to a little girl that didn't have one.

Logan's sipping on his milk after a long day.

I wanted to give a plug for a excellent Vinyl lettering business. It's called Delicate Expressions. You can go to Delicate Expressions.com please feel free to visit the site. They do great vinyl lettering that is very inexpensive and fun to use for your own personal decorative tendencies (Home/Car) or for your business.

Dinner out

2008-06-07T00:07:00.000-07:00

Tonight we went out to eat Magleby's I has Salmon and Miranda had Tri-tip. We really enjoyed it and has a lot of fun. Our company was over an hour late so needless to say we go to chat a lot and have some fun. A motorcycle caught Logan's eye as he was leaving the restaurant. It was some sort of a promotional item but this 3 year-old really loved it. Dad had fun too.

What are dreams made of?

Well I had a rough night last night. As a parent there are a couple specific things that really scare you in life and one is if anything were to happen to your child(ren). Let's just say last night's dream left me with many thoughts. I frequently have dreams of shallow impression, but every once in a while one will come through quite clear. It's usually that next day I realize the purpose of those dreams. This one definitely helped me to put things into perspective and to realize the power and love our Father in Heaven has and the love I have for my family. Families are great aren't they?

The first day of the rest of my life

2008-06-05T09:31:00.000-07:00

Well here goes, hopefully this isn't one of those things that I get to start but never finish. ;) I think we all know how that goes. I've seen so many people do these and for the life of me I couldn't see the value, but in a weird way I guess it is pretty therapeutic.

I thought as a way to start it off I would display one of my favorite pictures. My Best Buddy and Me.
