or, subtitle: How I knew with certainty that my children were in cahoots to push me over the edge. (What you don’t see on the vid is that right before I picked up the camera, Sydney had dumped the dominoes, was tearing up Carson’s Highlights magazine and turning the TV on and off at full […]
We had a great visit from our dear college friend Diane last week. Carson, especially, got over his “shyness” (huge quotes on that one) quickly and I was so busy making sure he didn’t break any of her bones as he was impressing her with his acrobatic skills that I didn’t take many pics. Here […]
Part one:The whole thing took less than 30 seconds. I was driving in my mini-van awesomeness on Friday when the sun started to get a bit bright. I reached into the diaper bag for my sunglasses and put them on. All the time, I was ever the conscientious driver and mostly kept my eyes on […]
I don’t know how I missed posting these pics from a few weeks ago. Oh, wait, yes I do. It was the 100 degree week, and this was the first day of that stretch. It was hard to feel motivated to do ANYTHING. If you’ve never stayed in a home without air conditioning on a […]
This morning was about the third time that Carson has woken up on his own, and instead of playing in his room or coming to wake up one of us, he just walked on out to the living room and sat on the couch to wait. This morning Trent found him around 7, just sitting […]
We had a crazy, fun weekend with our friends who were visiting from So. Cal. Sarah was single-momming it with Tanner (2) and Peyton (5 months). We all crashed in our teeny house and totally made it work, despite it being HOT. The four days were full of fun, but didn’t feel too busy. These […]
Please excuse the temporary blog lull. Our dear friend from college, the former Ms. Howerton, is here with her 2 small kids visiting for a few days. With such a small house, we are squeezed in tight and playing fruitbasket upset to figure out all the sleeping arrangements! It’s a total blast, and the icing […]
When I first started blogging, I tried to do a birthday post each year, but last year the day just slipped by. So, today, as I enter my thirty-second year of life, I will take a few moments to ponder this life. Hmmm… I saw a quote the other day that said “Blessed is the […]
We’ve managed to FEEL really busy this summer with camping trips, birthdays, bbq’s, visitors, etc. And yet, looking back, it’s been a lot of just lazy summer days–trying not to spend too much money. 🙂 Here’s some misc. pics from the last couple weeks. This is for all the great aunties and uncles who I […]
The original post was written when Carson was a little older than Sydney is now, and much stronger in will and physical strength. However, sweet little Bird has been showing her own STRONG dislike for diaper changes lately, making the experience an exercise in frustration for all involved. WHICH reminded me of this explicit description […]
