Happy Birthday to Me

June 2, 2010

My birthday happened to fall on the day that Brent pulls a 14 hour work day, so we’re pretending my birthday is tomorrow.   The girls decided that I needed a cake today though since it was my actual birthday.  I think they thought they were going to make it themselves  because when I started to [...]

Family Fun Day

April 17, 2010

We attempted to go to the zoo, saw the 30 minute wait to get into the alternative parking lot because the normal zoo parking lot was already full, and decided to do something else instead.

Around the area of the zoo, there are a few other options.  The mini train was our first thought, but we [...]

April 11, 2010

This post is just a few days late…oops =)
But Family Fun Day was a bit low key this week. Brent’s sick, the oldest is recovering from an ear and sinus infection, the middle one has horrible allergies, and the youngest one has been sick for 3 weeks. So we moved a bit slow [...]

Day Three and Four

March 31, 2010

Truth by told, Day Three got a little rushed.  All day long, I thought it was Wednesday so planned the wrong story.  Then I realized my mistake right before we were starting our devotions so we scrambled to remember what Tuesday’s lesson was supposed to be.  Then Brent and I had plans so the babysitter [...]

Day One

March 28, 2010

Its Palm Sunday today.  In an effort to teach our kids that Easter is a BIG deal, we began our week leading up to Easter like this:
Before church we made play dough and formed it into Golgotha, poked some holes into it for the cross, found sticks outside to make a cross, and baked the [...]

Family Fun Day

March 26, 2010

Maybe more of a Family Fun Evening this week.  The little guy had his 12 month well visit, Brent needed to do our taxes, and the girls needed some down time this morning, so we put off our family fun until after naps today.
Then it was photo shoot time!  One of our good friends is [...]

Tunnels, reading books, and a big pancake and egg breakfast. A great way to start off the morning.
A surprise trip to go get the first born a new car seat.
J outgrew his car seat a LONG time ago, so we finally made the trip to get the oldest a booster seat, [...]
