a weekend away

February 6, 2016

a weekend away

A couple of weekends ago, we rented a cabin in our local mountains. Rich and I had decided that this family of ours deserved a break from all the sports and other social commitments that keeps us all so busy.  So we cleared our calendar and unplugged our devices and headed up to the mountains […]

JUST DIRT & RUBBLE

I know a lot of you are wondering about our pool construction. We should be swimming in our new pool right about now, right?  Well, our pool construction hasn’t even started yet due to the city permits. We are still waiting on the city permits. The “soils report” to be exact. Everything passed except the […]

New York

New York

This summer my husband took our twelve-year-old son, Alex,  to New York.  Just the two of them.  They were gone six days.  That was some serious Father/Son time! Rich was born and raised in New York, so he had a lot of things to show Alex.   These are the photos that I got from […]

Sunday Update

Sunday Update

Today I woke up at 6:00am and drove Afton to the church to catch her bus for camp.  Just like last year, she will be away at a Christian Camp for one week.    One week without my Afton?  I miss her already! Funny thing happened — well, not so funny, actually — but when […]

Vegas, baby

Vegas, baby

Family.  You just gotta love ’em.  And we love ours…enough to drive 5 hours in a cramped van just to attend a birthday party.  Well, to be honest, it was a very special birthday party.  Rich’s mom turned 65 last week, and we drove out to Las Vegas, Nevada, to join in the celebration. Her […]

We had an absolute blast on our vacation in Lake Mead. It couldn’t have gone any better. The weather was perfect: nice and HOT with clear, blue skies.  It was awesome. At our campsite.  Check out the view we had — so pretty! We got the best campsite! It was a river view and there […]

How I cured a mild ear ache naturally

Avery (age 9) has been swimming a lot lately.  Both her best friends have pools, and we visit our community pools all the time, too.  So she’s been in the water quite a bit this summer. And the other day, she came to me complaining that her ear hurt. I didn’t think too much of […]

Beach Bums

July 23, 2010

Beach Bums

What’s better than a sand-covered baby? c Or a seven-year-old catching his first wave? or digging for sand crabs…. or getting buried in sand? What’s better than a day at the beach with your family — watching your kids enjoy the sand, the water, and each other?  For me…it doesn’t get much better than this! Aria loved getting […]
