I realize these are words that do not seem to go together. Believe me, I thought I would never associate those two…ever. More of the words that came to mind would be misery, stinky, unfortunate, least-favorite-parenting-job-ever. But then I had a little girl. Everything is different with a girl, including the arduous task of potty-training. […]
No, we did not go off to tropically-jungly-rainforest. But almost just as exciting…decorating for our vacation bible school with a rainforest theme! Yep, I did it. I took on the summer project of decorating a total of 12 rooms, a sanctuary, and a foyer. Am I slightly crazy? Absolutely. But if you happened to read […]
Yesterday was a big day. It was a big day for many reasons. Josie turned two, I made a cake covered in fondant, Josie got her first gun (I bet you can’t guess who gave her that gift), and Josie named her first baby. Her baby’s name is Pot. Yes, that’s right. We had to […]
Call us crazy, but the day after we got home from Tennessee we went camping in Idaho. Just enough time to do laundry, go to the store and pack up the van. We did have it quite easy since we had an entire camp site set up and waiting for us when we arrived. We […]
We took the kids out of school two days early and headed off to Tennessee. Pure fun for one week and absolute extreme heat and I loved every minute of it. Here are some highlights… Judah and Josie play ball with their great-great aunt AnnaLee Judah loved helping Aunt Sarah feed and take care of […]
Yes it’s true. Charlie is 10 years old and he is very happy about it. He had a “real” birthday party and everything. By real I mean he invited friends. With a family of about 85 (give or take a few) we usually just have family parties, but this is a big milestone. So Charlie […]
Andy’s Charlie’s completed project Here it is. The grand finale. Charlie did finish off this project. He cut out the parts and painted it. So there you go.
Sisters, continued… So I have made a mistake. I left out a sister-in-law. I don’t have a picture of her with all the rest of us because this is a sister-in-law I inherited when I got married. This is someone that I don’t see as often as my other sisters, someone who I may not […]
Andy’s turn… So Andy has been working on a little project of his own. Well, Charlie’s project, I should say. Yes, this is Andy’s “house fly”. It was Charlie’s turn to come home with a project and as soon as Charlie began explaining what was required, I knew. This had Andy’s name written all over […]
Sisters…sisters…there were never such devoted sisters… Oh how true this is. I love my sisters. I actually grew up only having one sister (ten years younger than me), but I now have several variations of sisters, but all sisters none-the-less. I have been thinking about them more often as of late. Maybe that’s because some […]
