Ian on the Move!

Monday, September 5th, 2011

Pudge is mobile! He pretty much skipped the army crawl and went straight to the up & down movement on his knees and/or his feet! He’s still slow at it since he makes more vertical movement than horizontal, but he gets there! Not too shabby for being just 5 months.

Stuck in the Middle

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Five of my kids were wedged side-by-sideĀ on the couch together this morning, watching some animal education show.
I looked over and they all seemed to be leaning toward the middle and Brady looked half as wide as normal. I asked Andy to scoot over a bit.
“Andy move the other way a bit. Brady looks squished.”
Brady piped [...]

Chaos, Revisited

Thursday, December 9th, 2010

I’m sure this time of year is crazy busy for everyone! Here, it’s no exception.
The Dreamboat husband has shot 2 deer in the last couple of weeks for hunting season. Because he’s a hardcore DIYer, we process them ourselves. It’s not as disgusting as you think… He does all disgusting slaughtering outside and only [...]

“Nine Times?!” “NINE times!”*

Thursday, November 4th, 2010

Yesterday was an important day for Dreamboat and me — our 9th wedding anniversary.
Doesn’t seem possible that it’s been NINE short years since we nearly burnt the church down, but then again, quite a lot has happened for us in those nine short years!
In honor of our big day, I’ll list nine of [...]

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.
