my personal photographer

March 16, 2013

my personal photographer

Andrew has taken quite a liking to my Canon 60D.   At first I was hesitant to hand it over time him, being that he’s only six years old and the camera is an expensive one, but in time he has proven to be very careful with it.  So I trust. Besides, I think he […]

it’s just a baby tooth!!

March 15, 2013

it’s just a baby tooth!!

The other night my six year old complained that he couldn’t sleep because his tooth hurt.  I asked him to point to where it hurt, and he pointed to his top left side, way in the back.  And sure enough, I saw a tooth back there that had a dark spot in it.  I thought […]

naps are good

At lunchtime he got angry at his sister for turning the umbrella towards herself, leaving him exposed to the sun… so he flung her plate off the picnic table, spilling her sandwich all over the cement.  The dog quickly grabbed it and ran off.  Mom was not happy. During outside playtime, he got angry at […]

Birds fly. Fish swim.

January 18, 2012

Birds fly.  Fish swim.

Andrew’s preschool class has a bird for a class pet, and each weekend “Mike the Bird” goes home with a family so that he will not be alone in the classroom.  At the beginning of the year we signed up for the weekend that we wanted to take the bird home with us.  Well, of […]

super proud of my five year old

super proud of my five year old

So Andrew surprises me sometimes.  Last night at Kung Fu he volunteered to lead the class.  He was the first to raise his hand, and the instructor called on him.  I was beaming with pride as I watched my little guy lead the class in their Eight Basic Stances routine.  I am so HAPPY that […]

update on the missed Daddy & Me Day

update on the missed Daddy & Me Day

So Andrew comes home from preschool today and mentions, in a sad tone, that he missed the Daddy & Me Day.  You should have seen his face.  And then you should have seen MY face looking at his face.  I was devastated.  He found out!!   Ugh!   I was SO hoping that no one would […]

the time I forgot Daddy & Me Day

the time I forgot Daddy & Me Day

It wasn’t me who forgot all about Daddy & Me Day at Andrew’s preschool, which was at 11:00am this past Saturday.  It wasn’t me who made sure that Rich was off work that day, so that he could attend this special event with Andrew….and when the day came around, it wasn’t me who woke up […]

“Special Time”

November 2, 2011

“Special Time”

If I had to pick the biggest challenge to having a large family, I would definitely say it’s finding individual time with each child.   Did I give each child what they needed from me today?  This is a big one for me. I never go to bed  worrying if the house was clean enough, but […]

Kung Fu Kids

August 12, 2011

Kung Fu Kids

Andrew, Aislynn and A.J. are really enjoying their Kung Fu class. We are very new to the whole martial arts scene, and I must admit that I am very impressed with it so far.   These three kids of mine are saying things like, “Yes, mam”  and  “No, sir”  (which is required in class)  and it has carried […]

My Beautiful Boy

My Beautiful Boy

Sometimes my little Andrew…well, he just takes my breath away.  I am loving this photo that I just took of him.   We were at the petting zoo, and instead of petting and holding the bunnies and all the other animals, he chose to play on the playground.  I snapped this quick photo of him […]

Andrew Last weekend Rich took Alex, Avery, A.J., Aislynn, and Andrew on a 3 day camping/dirt bike riding trip in our local desert.  A bunch of families from his fire department were going.  I decided to stay home with Aria and the three older teens (who didn’t really want to go) and enjoyed a quiet, […]
