Welcome to the Lizzard Zone, the web home for the latest on me and my family. I'm Lizzard, a technology loving Deafie. I'm married to Stamps, the cutest ASL teacher in the world. We have a 3 month old son, Cody. Mikey, our black lab mix, and Cosmo, our tuxedo cat, keep life interesting with their antics. For more on any of us, click the buttons on the left.

(11 January 2012) The compilation of clips is finally condensed into one movie - showing here. :-) He also has his own picture page (also accessible from the side bar). Enjoy!

The college football season is over. How sad. But, my BYU Cougars finished the season ranked #26 in the AP poll and #25 in the USA Today Poll! Yay!

(6 January 2012) I got a cute clip of Cody being extremely chatty one night and posted it here.

(5 January 2012) I can't believe 2012 is here! On one hand, 2011 was a painfully slow year but, somehow, it also feels like it went by in the blink of an eye. I'm not exactly sure how it was both, but it was. A few days before the new year, I got this picture which shows a good size comparison. So cute!

BYU took on Tulsa last Friday. The Cougars trailed most of the game but it was always within reach. With 11 seconds remaining, BYU got near the goal line and lined up as if to spike the ball to stop the clock. Instead, Riley Nelson faked the spike and tossed the ball to a waiting receiver for the winning touchdown [24-21]!!

Cody is a day shy of three months old and has discovered his hands -- well, the right one at least. He hardly pays any attention to the left one so far but I'm sure he will eventually.

(26 December 2011) What a great Christmas, Cody's first! After going to church, we enjoyed a nice, quiet day at home as a family. I got a BYU pillow pet!!

(21 December 2011) Here's another "That Deaf Guy" comic that I thought was very cute. A "CODA" is a hearing "Child Of Deaf Adult" so they are part of both the hearing and deaf cultures, just like the "glittens."

(19 December 2011) With the husband now on Christmas break, we dropped Cody off at Grandma's and went on a date to Cannon Beach. We did a little bit of Christmas shopping, ate some ice cream, and basically just enjoyed a few carefree hours in each other's company. How delightful!

(8 December 2011) I suspect a conversation like this will happen when Cody gets a little older, though it will probably be for finding Mom.

(5 December 2011) BYU ended the regular season with a win over Hawaii. Yay! Here are the results for the season. The Cougars will play in the Armed Forces Bowl on Dec 30th against Tulsa.

Yesterday was Cody's baby blessing. Several family members and friends came to watch and participate. Cody was peaceful through the blessing and spent the rest of the meeting in the arms of relatives, mostky his great-grandma.

(22 November 2011) Isn't this a great picture of my smiling son?

(13 November 2011) The primary kids did a great job with their Sacrament Meeting program today! I sure do love working with them!

Here is a birth announcement I put together fairly quickly. Such a cute picture...

(6 November 2011) This is me to a "t."

(4 November 2011) Mom went home today, after taking great care of all of us, complete with lots of cookies! Pictures from the recent visit are available here or with the link on the side. Most of these were taken by Mom.

I also posted the professional pictures taken of Cody in the hospital here.

(30 October 2011) BYU had some problems with the kicking game during their game against TCU on Friday. I've never seen them mess up so many punts. They lost 28-38, which actually sounds a lot closer than the game felt.

Game 7 of the World Series, between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Texas Rangers was also fun to watch, but not much can top Game 6. The Cardinals were down to their final strike twice but managed to come back and win that game to force a game 7. Awesome!

My mom, her husband, my sister and her daughter came to visit for a few days. All are going home today except mom who will stay for a few more days to help out with Cody. It's been wonderful to see all of them. I can't believe how big my niece is getting! She was completely enthralled with Cosmo. She'd follow him around (saying "cat! cat! cat!") and give him hugs and even get nose-to-nose with him. Fortunately, he is a mellow cat and didn't mind, though he did move quickly when she accidentally stepped on his tail.

(24 October 2011) I saw this comic in the newspaper today. It perfectly describes Stamps!!
