About, uh, let’s see, it was THIRTEEN years ago, I started dating this really cute, funny guy. We had a mutual family friend (who’s wife, JAN, reads this blog regularly) who told me before I left for college that I should look him up while at school, because he came from a great family. So, […]
My last 2 posts have been very wordy, so I reminded myself to take some pictures this morning to post. Carson recently earned a new big boy bike by filling a sticker chart for things like eating all his dinner, having a good quiet time, helping mommy, using kind words & controlling anger. OK, that […]
Here’s another old post that I remember fondly, which you may or may not have read. I realized this week that it has been one full year since we started potty training Carson. He’s mostly done a great job, and we’re so proud of his progress! But, oh boy, it was a crazy start! We […]
Taken June 2006 Oh, man. I’m telling you. My son. Carson. OH wow. What amazing things God must have in store for him, because his personality is SOMETHING ELSE. Dr. Dobson compares a strong-willed child to a grocery cart that has a stubborn, broken wheel that makes pushing the cart difficult. It takes a little […]
First, here is a supercute pic of my nephew Jack, since (AHEM) his parents don’t blog that often these days. Jack has a Minkee, like Carson & Sydney, but his method of transporting his lovey is as seen in this picture. This is not him being silly or playing peek-a-boo, this is simply his convenient […]

Be forewarned there are some bleeped out words, ifyaknowwhatimean.
OH, man. Lots of stuff going on around here. This week we have been hanging out with my aunt, uncle & cuz visiting from Southern Cal. They are so fun we drop everything to spend as much time as we can with them! On Thursday we went for a hike at Silver Falls. About 2 […]
Remember that old song? “Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings, see what God has done”? I’m doing that tonight. I’m HAVING to do that tonight. Today was just a lousy day. Carson and I had several knock-down-drag-out arguments. OK, no one literally got knocked down, but he literally got dragged […]
Coversation (or lack thereof) at the dinner table.“Mom?”“Hmmm?”“Um….mom?”“Yes?”[chew, chew] “Uh…um….mom….I, uh………………….Mom?”“What, bud?”“OK, I’m going to start over.”“Okay, go ahead.” 🙂 *** I was subbing today. This is a direct quote from a 3rd grader’s persuasive speech on why you should not smoke:“…and when you litter your cigarette out the window, you are killing polar bears.” […]
