My Family Loves It

I have had too much good stuff to post about to keep up lately! I never wrote about the great weekend we had and its already Wednesday! Saturday was the boys’ last t-ball of the season and it was a gorgeous day.

I love that they are close enough in age that some years they will [...]

Ever since last Fall Ben has been asking to make “strawberry Damn” (he has recently learned its really jam) so yesterday I took him and Jamie strawberry picking while Ethan (who didn’t want to go) played at my mom’s house. Since I’m 5 months pregnant with 3 little kids I was sort of glad to [...]

This was the second year that we went to a model airplane demonstration on Father’s Day, it was a lot like last year only the boys met another little boy who also happened to bring a Transformer with him as well and the 3 of them played in our minivan about 1/3 of the time [...]

Today we went on a pond walk with a local nature center and the kids had fun but it would have been a lot nicer if it were 10 degrees cooler. Its been too hot and humid without enough warning for me! Everyone who went used a net to collect pond life and then we [...]

Its gotten hot and HUMID here and today we met a bunch of friends to play in a stream (it is at a park with a playground and there are picnic tables to eat at so its really my favorite park when its hot). There are lots of fossil rocks and today a ton of [...]

Last night we threw the chickens out! Ethan checked their house to make sure it was ready (and to play in it one last time before it wasn’t poop free).

It was dark but we kept an eye on them with the flashlight as they adjusted. Soon I’ll paint the [...]

Huggies Little Swimmers and the Parent Bloggers Network are sponsoring this weeks blog blast on SUMMER WATER FUN! John’s parent’s both worked in schools/colleges so they had off summers to take his family to live on a lake EVERY year, so needless to say his summers were the kind any kid would dream of. [...]

Well today is the 3rd week of t-ball and I am just now putting up some pictures of Ethan and Ben’s first practice! Actually I am slipping and I only took a few pictures so far that first day. My friend is really showing me up with her son’s t-ball coverage but I’ll be sure [...]

Happy Mother’s Day everyone! For a blog blast today I am remembering way back to when I first became a mom, its only 5 1/2 years ago really but it seems like forever now! Things were much simpler with just one baby and now as I try to prepare myself for the 4th baby its [...]

What a fitting unplugged project for us this week! We have had our baby chicks for almost a week now and they are certainly a project but we’ve had quite a few other bird encounters as well.
If you haven’t been at our blog to see the chick posts you really should scroll on down and [...]
