This day has been some time in the works. Quite a long time in the works, actually. But today, with poles, bait and license in hand, we all headed to the lake. And fished. With just two poles, everyone had to take turns. But the kiddos managed to busy themselves with rock throwing. And leaf collecting. And everything else to… Read More
last birthday post. promise.
I know. It’s pure craziness with all these birthday posts. And birthday pictures. But – since we couldn’t celebrate her first birthday – we had some serious catching up to do. And I wanted to share, since some of y’all asked, Poppy’s adorable romper was a birthday gift from my friend, Shasta. Who, along with some of her friends, is… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Poppy’s party}
I’m not sure if you can tell. But Poppy had fun at her party. First stop was her favorite restaurant. Chick-Fil-A. I’m not sure if it’s her favorites because of the food, or the play area. But really, does it matter? Then back to the house for the rest of the fun. First Poppy got her new pink bike. Then… Read More
Sunday Snapshot: {Labor Day}
Wah. My sister and her family just left. It had been over a year since we last saw each other. Which is about a year too long. The kids always play great together. Which gives us a chance to catch up. During their stay this time, we stuck pretty close to home. With plenty of chow… plenty of things to… Read More
stocked
Oh, yes we are. I tend to be a pretty laid-back girl. But, since we’re new here and haven’t weathered a storm in this house, and I’m not quite confident that we are inland enough to miss all the affects of Irene, I caved. I went, along with pretty much everyone on the east coast, to the grocery today. And… Read More
easter. in pictures.
And just pictures. No time for text… My biggest boy leaves tomorrow. Must go hug him. Again. Hope your Easter was full of blessings.
Wordless Wednesday, ahem… edited
Okay, this was supposed to be Wordless Wednesday, emphasis on wordless. But, clearly, I must explain. I thought this picture was funny. It made me giggle when I saw it in Dalton’s backpack and I thought it might make you giggle too. Even Tori laughed, and I didn’t even have to explain why I was giggling. So I thought you… Read More
a marshmallow-y good time
My mom came down to spend part of the weekend since the kids had a holiday on Monday. The kids were in rare form, the weather was perfect and everyone was on a sugar induced high. We spent a good bit of the day outside and when evening fell we started up the mini fire pit and cracked open the… Read More
How many people can you fit in a photobooth?
Today we headed to the mall. Tori wanted to check out some jackets at American Eagle and I, well… I don’t ever mind making a trip to the mall. All my favorite shops were having a great sale over Labor Day weekend and I thought I’d go again just for the fun of it. While we were strolling around (actually… Read More
going Hollywood
We were on our way to celebrate Tori’s straight A’s (yeah, Tori!) at Johnny Carino’s last night and we were being silly putting our sunglasses on the girls. They actually looked pretty stylish sitting in their sweet Britax carseats wearing some shades. I often wonder why I was content to put my older children in $50 car seats, but for… Read More
