    Confidence

    During our vacation, we visited good friends of ours who are living on a 300+ acre Christmas tree farm outside of Blacksburg, Virginia. Cole and I were walking down one of their hills together. This was our view:     Off to the right, there was this big sloping part, with lots of trees on…

  • The Goldfish Saga

    The Goldfish Saga

    I just had to share this Jade story from our vacation. We were sitting on the beach one day. My Aunt Gina had just finished sharing her box of goldfish with Brett. Jade saw this and told (not asked) Gina that she wanted some of Brett’s goldfish. Gina told her that they weren’t Brett’s goldfish…

  • Substitute Blanket

    Substitute Blanket

    We’ve been having trouble lately with Indigo and Jade losing their blankets around the house/soap room/yard. It’s not a pretty picture when it’s bed time and the blankets are nowhere to be found. So Jim told them they had to leave their blankets in their room. Today I discovered Jade curled up on the couch.…

  • Charlestown State Park Balloon Glow

    Charlestown State Park Balloon Glow

    Yesterday, Jim was pushing us to finish our work early so we could have a family surprise. What was our surprise? The Charlestown Hot Air Balloon Glow. It was a hot, muggy evening with no breeze. (On a side note, we used our bug off lotion stick b/c the bugs were awful and they worked…

  • Crazy Inventions

    Crazy Inventions

    All of the children are supposed to be sleeping because we have to get up wicked early tomorrow. We have a soap show (Madison Old Court Days) that is an hour away and we have to be completely set up by 9:00 am. Instead of sleeping, Colter just came into the living room so we…

  • Having Dinner with the Gang

    Having Dinner with the Gang

    Our last night at Disney, we had dinner at the Liberty Tree Tavern. They normally don’t have character dining, but since the Crystal Palace is being renovated, they moved the characters to the Liberty Tree. So we got to share our dinner with some good friends:   Mom and Dad’s favorite part was that the…

  • Attack!

    Attack!

    Jim and the older children were away selling soap at a Bar-B-Q Festival this weekend. I never sleep well when Jim is away, so last night I went to bed early and fell sound asleep. I woke up to being attacked!! I was kinda disoriented so I just yelled for Jim to help (he was…

  • Pretty Princesses

    Pretty Princesses

    Indigo and Jade decided they wanted to be princesses today:       But then it was time for lunch and my messy eaters didn’t want to stop being princesses.  So Mommy had to come up with a creative solution.  Enter Daddy t-shirts:         But the funniest part of the day was…

  • Where Are All the Knives?

    Where Are All the Knives?

    I’ve noticed over the past couple of weeks that the spot where all our butter knives go has been rather empty. It seemed peculiar, b/c even when all the forks and spoons were there, the knives were still missing. I finally figured out what was going on. You see, I normally buy our peanut butter…

  • The Hulk

    The Hulk

    I promised in this blog entry that I would post pictures of the Hulk.  Brett took a bunch of photos for me.  So, here it is, the Hulk in all its glory:     Now, granted I’m short, but this thing is huge.  When I stand up inside and put my hands above my head, my fingertips…

  • Kim Possible

    Kim Possible

    This was one of the the kids’ favorite things to do at Disney:   Here they are accepting their mission and Secret Agent status and receiving their Kimmunicator:   They’ve been sworn in and are now officially Spies (they look it, don’t they):   Getting their first assignment:   Their mission is going to take…

  • Ohana

    Ohana

    Our absolute favorite restaurant of our entire Disney vacation (and this is unanimous) was:   It had the most amazing family buffet you can imagine.  We didn’t take pictures of the food (because we were too busy eating it), but they brought around huge skewers of the tenderest food ever.  My mouth is watering just…

  • Pool Time

    Pool Time

    Swimming is always a highlight of our Florida vacations.  Here Brett is trying to explain to the girls that it is too cold for them to swim: The older children all had a great time:   Hewitt put on a brave face despite the fact that he wasn’t swimming: Jade – not so brave a…

  • Wow, That Really Is Scary

    Wow, That Really Is Scary

    Jim and I were in the living room talking with visitors when the boys started carrying in garbage bags of clothes and dumping them in the middle of the living room floor. What the heck?… Turns out our neighbors were generously sharing a bunch of hand-me-downs with us and were dumping them over the fence.…

  • Flying to Africa

    Flying to Africa

    We were having dinner at Boma’s restaurant one night. I was very excited about it because it was an African buffet style restaurant and I couldn’t wait to try some of the food that I’d heard about from our African friends. Boma’s is located at the Animal Kingdom Lodge, so Indigo and Jade decided they…
