I have amazing cousins. And I love visiting them. Do you know what I like even more? Going to their birthday parties. Do you know why? Because my Aunt Heather and Uncle Adam pick the coolest places for birthday parties. Last year for the boys’ party, (they do one birthday party for all of the […]
… the more they stay the same. I was digging around trying to find some old pictures the other day, when I came across these. In August 2008, we were at a friends house for dinner. And since they have a pool, we just couldn’t resist swimming in it! As I was looking at these, I kept […]
Why do boys like to do things the uncomfortable/difficult way? For instance… Why do they like to wear the footy pajamas that have holes in them? (Even though Mom told them they should be put in the trash…and they have others that they could wear). Why do they like to lie down on the bottom […]
Do you like to play in the park? My brothers do: Do you like to watch the others, if you are too small to play? Jade does: Do you think that Daddy is a loon for taking pictures instead of playing? Emery does: Do you think that you are going to catch better if you […]
One of our favorite things to do in the Spring and Fall is go hiking in the woods at the Charlestown State Park. It’s also great fun to swing from hanging tree branches: The boys always like to be in the front. So most of the time we have a great view of their backs: […]
No, this post is not about pizza. This post is about… …Skiing. When you start skiing, the first thing you learn, (if you have an instructor) is how to stop! At least, that’s what we were taught. To do that, you can go sideways across the hill, or you can pizza. Mom calls it snow […]
On one of the days that we did not have anything planned, Grammy and Gumpy suggested that we go to the skating rink near where they were staying. Everyone wanted to go, so we went! It was a HUGE rink! Think the size of a basketball court. But bigger. And we had it entirely to […]
Woosh! There goes one sled! Woosh! There goes another! That was what several days of our NH visit were like. Woosh! All day! Woosh! With a few Ooofs thrown in: Greyden ran off the track and almost ran into a tree: Colter telling Daddy’s cousin, Karla, that his trail was the best: […]
Mom and Dad had a date tonight. So they left for Louisville, and we finished up all of our work. Afterwords, I called all the kids together to make sure all the work was done. Once I was sure it was all finished, I told them that we could play a game of Charades! Then […]
Today we did a lot of video filming! We filmed 2 Valentine’s Day videos, and 1 mailbag video. We have some really funny videos coming out. The Soaper Bowl should be done tonight – I can’t wait to see Daddy and Indigo in that video. Mom won’t let me tell you too much about the […]
We were driving someplace new earlier today. Fletcher noticed that something was different on Nuvi (our GPS). There was an ORANGE flag instead of a black and white checked flag to mark our destination. Fletcher: “What’s up with Nuvi? Why is her flag orange instead of black and white?” Mom: “Good observation Fletchy-Boo! Nuvi’s flag […]
Last night, I had the following conversation: Fletcher: “Mom, who won the silverware?” Me: “What?” Fletcher: “The silverware – who won it?” Me: “Fletcher, what are you talking about?” Fletcher: “You know, the silverware, where the North fought against the South.” Me: “Ohhhhh! Fletchy, that was the Civil War, not the silverware.” Fletcher: “Ok, whatever, […]
…was a Sunday. We go to a home church on the Sundays that we are free. On the day after Christmas, one of the moms planned a play that everyone had got to be a part of. Emery was Joseph and Hewitt was Baby Jesus: Fletcher was a sheep: Someone found him a […]
Everyone around here always loves Christmas. But this year, Brett, Cole, and Emery got really excited about it. Most of their gifts were very altruistic and something the receiver would really desire. But there were a few that I think were a little bit selfishly motivated. One of them was the box set of the […]
We love the fact that our business is growing. But it has interfered with some of our Christmas traditions. At the very least, it has pushed many of them back from the first half of December to the second half of December. For example, we finally got our tree up this week. We could have […]
