Lyrical-ish

Wednesday, August 18th, 2010

Both of our girls like to sing, like their Dad. Both of our girls like to make up words to their own songs, like their Mom.
I don’t have a musical bone in my body, but I like to make up songs — silly or otherwise (but mostly silly.)
Today, Ferris has been carrying around a small, [...]

The Coach’s Kid

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Our baseball season ended on Saturday. We’re sad. We’re trying to figure out what to do the next few weeks. We start school at the beginning of August.
Connor isn’t quite IN LOVE with baseball as Andy and Brady… It’s growing on him though. Since Daddy is his coach, he learned the hard way that he [...]

Not So Independent

Monday, June 28th, 2010

We keep our kids with us in church unless they get rowdy/fussy/loud/etc. Last night, Nate was leading singing and Andy & Brady were allowed to sit with their older cousins, Dale & Ty.
So, I was sitting with the four youngest until Nate was done with the songs. We had Grayson’s 1st birthday party yesterday afternoon [...]

Don’t Feed the Monkeys

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Anyone out there have any experience with indoor climbing equipment? With all the little monkeys I have around here, I’m thinking it might be a wise investment to install a climbing wall in the basement.
I’m not kidding.
Maybe some sort of playground equipment? Anyone?

We’re baaaack!

Saturday, October 10th, 2009

We spent the last week at my uncle’s lake house. It was bliss.
Nothing scheduled, no outside-our-family responsibilities. Just enjoying the company of one another and relaxing. Our kind of vacation and much needed!
Photos soon.

Just a Little While

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

When I have graphic design projects to work on, the kids often enjoy playing kids’ games on Daddy’s computer while I work. Connor in particular likes to play (and is amazingly acclimated to the computer for only being 3!)
Yesterday, he followed me downstairs and when he saw me heading to the computer, (instead of the [...]

One in the Same

Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

For some strange reason, this story just made me smile.

One word: YUM!

Friday, April 24th, 2009

Tonight is the night that we look forward to all week while Nate’s teaching at the Academy. The kids and I will endure peanut butter and jelly just so we can allow room in our budget for this place.
Hands down, it’s Andy’s favorite place to eat in the whole world. It’s pretty high on my [...]

Gettin’ the heck out of Dodge

Monday, April 20th, 2009

We’re outta here… again.
Remember our semi-annual trips to Honor Guard Camp? That’s this week again. I’ve pre-scheduled a few posts, but I hope to be back to full speed when we return. Don’t miss me too much!

A Working Vacation

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

I’m just going to bite the bullet and do it. I’m going to make an announcement.
“I must take a bloggy break!”
There… I said it.  See, we’re remodeling part of our basement to make a new bedroom. People are coming and going. The kids still need fed, school still needs done, laundry and dishes are still [...]
