Just popping in during this busy holiday season to share this picture and link of a positive LEO story. I'm sure many of you have already heard about this, but a woman was trapped under a bus, and Utah Police Officer, Kevin Peck, crawled under and stayed with her to comfort her and hold her hand while they waited for rescuers to lift the bus. This is the kind of story involving officers that I

Then when your wife takes your toddler back to bed after one of his nightly visits and she passes by the office and sees the silhouette of a man, she will have a heart attack. HF brought this home last night and everytime I walk into the office,

I was inspired this morning by this video of the Rucker family; a retired Marine Corps couple that began foster caring children. In the last seven years, they have cared for 45 children, and even adopted one of the little girls they cared for. It's couples like this that provide safety, hope, food, clothing, and love for so many children who go without each day. They definitely deserved the

HF was driving me to the airport early in the morning. He was listening to one of his favorite artists, David Gray. The song, The One I Love, came on and while were listening to it in silence, he said casually, "If something happens to me and I die, this is the song I want played at my funeral. I didn't say anything. He then went into detail, giving me instructions as to what I should do if he

Did I mention that I see CJ (Calamity Jane) every single day except weekends? It's true. Turns out she also has a five year old and her 5 yo is in the same kindergarten class as my 5 yo. I knew who she was and assumed she had no idea who I was. Well recently as I was dropping my son off, she looks at him and exclaimed, "Why you look just like your daddy!" I knew I was in for it then.

You name it, if it is available, or someone is needed, he's your guy. That's great and all for his employment, but what about me/us? I like to think of myself as way laid back and cool.

When he got home, he couldn't go to sleep because he was all amped up for some reason. He watched an episode of Top Shot then woke me up at 6:30 am (wink, wink).

I woke up this morning to screams coming from downstairs. Screams and the ripping of paper. It was too early for the kids to be up. I went downstairs and our 5 year old, Luke, was following his little brother around handing him "tickets" for various offenses. The 2 year old was not having it, and would either crumple these tickets up and throw them, or rip them up and throw them, all the while

I also love that it usually stays there all day, but when we go on walks, it slips and falls out the bottom of his pants and he just keeps on sticking it back in there. He later learned that his best bet was to stick it in his diaper. It seemed to provide

The lack of posting is due to the aforementioned kidney stone issue which I thought was going to be the end of me. For real. It was nice however to lay low for a few days. One thing that I found quite amusing is that once when I came downstairs for water, I

Mrs. Fuzz is a little under the weather right now.  On Friday, she had some extreme pain that caused us to rush her to the hospital.  Turns out she has a kidney stone.  She's been in bed all weekend, texting me her needs and popping lortab "every four to six hours as needed for pain." The doctor is hoping that she passes the rock by today or tomorrow, otherwise, we are being told that she may

So I just posted the other day that HF was a little shook up and lacking in his usual confidence. Well, the very next day, he was given a letter of commendation for the way he handled a case. The lieutenant giving him his performance evaluation had a lot of nice things to say. His numbers are good, he writes good reports, makes good arrests, and that all around he's a good cop and doing a good

Silly String in the house?! I told them not to do it. Ever. Food left out all over the table and counter tops.

The other day both HF and myself had a realization at the exact same moment! I don't know what you call that, but there should be an expression for it. We were on the phone. HF was explaining to me why he wasn't home yet. He was going on and on in detail

Luke, shortly after discovering the loot from his Christmas stocking. Luke, who is four, received his first Nerf gun from Santa this year. He quickly learned how to load it all by himself and rack the slide. We are now all immune to the slight sting of a suction dart smacking us somewhere on our bodies. After the morning festivities, HF was just out of the shower wearing a towel. He was

Day three and the final day of swat school was scenario training. They started with a basic call that escalated to needing to call SWAT. Each person would role play a different position that they normally didn't take so they could see what it was like for that person. For example, someone played the role of a negotiator, or a commander, or a patrol officer, or a hostage, or a bad guy. You get the

Something that has been cracking me up lately is the apparent shock that HF has other interests than being a police officer. It's true! He actually enjoys other things than guns, ammunition, working out, chest bumping, etc. Has everyone forgotten that just two years ago he was doing the same things that they like to do for fun? He just has a different day night job now. I find myself wondering

I thought this video would be a great way to commemorate Pearl Harbor day. HF showed me this video recently. Col. Bob Howard died a year ago and many of you have probably already seen this or heard of him, but I hadn't until HF brought it to my attention. These are the stories that should be the bulk of the nightly news. What an inspiration. And what a hero. Although Col. Howard's time was after

-I think I experienced one of those Mondays I've always heard people mention. Unbelievable. It was one of those "put the milk in the cupboard and the cereal in the fridge" mornings. When I got back from taking my daughter to school, I came home to find the door wide open and HF asleep upstairs in our bedroom. I didn't shut the door when I left with the kids. My purse, our laptop, our flat screen,

I got an email from Justin at PoliceOne about the Lakewood Four. Today marks the one year anniversary of the four officers who were murdered in Lakewood, Washington. PoliceOne put together a video that tells the story. It's hard to watch, but the ending is bittersweet and reminds me that we are a big family and that there are great people everywhere and in the communities within you serve. Thanks

We've had a sudden onset of illness here at the Fuzz household. As in the usual fashion, I didn't get sick until HF had a day off, which is weird how it always happens that way, but awesome because I get to crawl into bed. Poor guy dealt with our crazy kids all day and from what I could hear from upstairs, it wasn't pretty. Next to fall victim to throwing up was our 4 year old boy. I got up

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."   -Melody Beattie

HF's Lt. sent this video to the officers as part of shift briefing. I thought this would be good information for those of you not familiar with the sovereign citizens movement. It was hard for me to watch. I'm a sensie and I don't like to think about these things regardless of HF being a cop or not. Wish I could cover my ears and sing, "LA! LA! LA!" Please stay safe out there wherever you are!

Our daughter couldn't decide what to be for Halloween and we told her it didn't matter. She could be whatever she wanted. She finally whispered in HF's ear, "Do Egyptians still have slaves?" HF told her no. Then she said

Last Thursday, HF had surgery to fix a lattice degeneration in his left eye. He should've had the surgery done two years ago, but knowing us, we tend to take a while to get medical procedures done. For example, about two years ago, I was told by my dentist that I needed a gum graft because the gums above my incisors are starting to recede. I'll get around to it. I've also yet to follow up on my

These are not fun adventures. Let's just call them adventures in parenthood. This is what has been happening in the last week: Our daughter started second grade . I made her annual schultüte. Now I'm back to the days of setting my alarm clock so that I can get up early enough to get her ready and to school on time. Inside the schultute I put: a drawing pad, the first captain underpants book,

I need to get this out of the way first because I just know I’m going to run into what I’m about to relate to you more and more: I love our fair planet and do what I can to keep it clean. I am not anti-environment.  Okay now that that's out of the way, on with the story. The other night my Sergeant and I caught this college student walking around with two mountain bikes. Both the bikes had

As a rookie cop I’m always looking for ways to develop new skills and improve my existing set. One night I overheard this nerdy voice playing out over my patrol sergeant’s desktop speakers in the patrol office. The voice was touting the benefits of filling up fleet vehicles at the end of your shift. The guy made sense; and since common sense seems to be in short supply wherever I go, I had to

HF and I are doing the Dave Ramsey thing. Well, I should say that HF is doing it, and I'm complying. Anyway, one of the financial decisions we made for this year was that we wouldn't go on any vacations. We would do staycations. This week the Italians had a family reunion on the east coast and we were the only ones that couldn't make it. I was looking forward to the culture shock (They really are

You may have seen this on various police forums and blogs. I first saw it on TGR's blog. This story blew me away when I first heard it and I agree with everything Glenn Beck says here. Stupid stuff people do never ceases to shock me.

The other night I responded to a report of two people riding a motor scooter on sidewalks and pedestrian areas.  I hadn't looked too far when I heard another officer call out a traffic stop on the scooter I had been looking for.  I pulled into the parking lot where he had them stopped and proceeded to back him up.  As I listened to the other officer talk with the driver it became apparent that

This show is pretty funny. Mostly because of Bradley Whitford. This is how I've spent the last two nights when HF went to work. It is definitely a silly cop show, but pretty fun nonetheless. You can watch a few episodes on hulu. Here is a synopsis of the show.

A couple of days ago, HF went to get his usual haircut. He's been going to the same guy forever. An old school barber that really knows what he's doing. Well, on this particular day, his trusty friend wasn't there, but a lady that comes in once a week to help. HF didn't think it would be a problem. Well, it was. When he came home I was so shocked, my jaw dropped open. Then I covered my mouth as

Do you see what doesn't belong?It's a handcuff key.And today when I got in my car to run some errands, sitting next to me in the passenger seat was this orange rubber mallet from HF's accident investigation kit. My first thought was, "this could actually come in handy. . . " Any unusual finds in

when you think S.W.A.T. think Collin Farrell. That's really what it's like, guys. Not really. One of the great things about the department that HF works for, is that he gets a lot of training opportunities. For the past few months he has been able to train with the SWAT team. In January, he will tryout for the team. Today was "family day" and the families were invited to BBQ and enjoy

While I feel a sense of camaraderie with army wives, I definitely feel they get a rougher deal sending their men off for months at a time. I get to see mine everyday even if it's just in passing. 2.  I read rhe first book in the Vampire Diaries teen series. Kind of silly. But a guilty pleasure nonetheless. I finished

Ever since season one of Burn Notice, I have pondered over this hip purse that the character Fiona wears occasionally. I decided that I liked it a lot. Enough to own it. I told HF. He said it was a fanny pack. We argued briefly about whether or not it was. I'm still going with no

Even though I feel miserable, I have periodically smiled and done snow angels in bed because of the sheer luxury of it all. No kids. No responsibility. It's like a mini vacation.

It's been a long time since I've shared one of HF's on the job stories with y'all. Since I like to keep things light around here for the most part, here's one of the most unusual that I've heard in a long time that happened last night while HF was on duty. HF and three other officers responded to an alarm at a local business. They found 4 college-aged males inside and arrested them without

Remember in May I said I wanted to do a bracket sort of thing with the best tv/movie cop duos? Well. The winner of the first bracket was Turner & Hooch.

A couple months ago my department sent me to "Verbal Judo" training.  Verbal Judo or Tactical Communications was founded by Dr. George Thompson.  Dr. Thompson was a college professor who decided he wanted to be cop.  After some time serving as a police officer Dr. Thompson noticed that some officers were able to talk anyone into compliance while others, more often than not, ended having to go

I also forgot to mention, but maybe you already knew, every year on July 11th (7-11) you can get a free slurpee at 7-11.

We got back yesterday from camping in a little place I'd like to call Paradise. HF is a volunteer for the search and rescue in the area and had to do a little work with another friend of ours who is also a volunteer. Both of our families went along for the trip and we enjoyed a luxirious and private camping area. We had a little river/stream going through the site, with a little bridge as you can

Yes, I went to the Eclipse midnight movie premiere. Yes, I have read all the books more than once, and watched the movies a fair share of times. In fact, I found myself a little obsessed the last couple of weeks as I mentioned yesterday. It's a little embarrassing seeing how I'm not really the type of person to obsess over teen books and idols. Thankfully HF intervened and introduced me to the

You can read about it here at MJ's blog, Note To Self. I looked at the items that have been donated so far and there's some great things if you want to check it out. The auction started today!

Can you call it babysitting when it's your own kids you are watching? No. But, this week has proven to be quite the adventure on my own. Once again I have to mention how much I admire single parents and their ability to "do it all" (Athough being married to a cop is a lot like being a single parent. . . but that is a topic for another time). Last Sunday, HF departed for Alabama to attend Cobra

I thought I would show through the use of a bizzaro 80s music video, what life is like with a rookie cop. Obviously he's not afraid to wash his hair and he doesn't think that the people on tv can see him, but you get the general idea.
