We're baaaaack! Vegas was a bit of a whirlwind, but oh so fun. We swam, we ate, we sunburned. And we're happy to be home. :) Taking the kids was fun. There's been a lot of changes over the past few years and they've made it somewhat family friendly. Sure, there was some stuff that their little eyes (or even my poor eyes, for that matter) shouldn't be seeing, but they did great. We had a little chat with them before we left and prepared them for the craziness that is Vegas. We took a lot of ... Read More
Mother’s Day
"I never want them to think that the whole world revolves around them, but I want them to know, without a doubt, that my whole world does." - Unknown This Mother's Day was just the way I like it: low key with fajitas. :) We had a great weekend catching up on our favorite tv shows and playing a new game I've fondly named Asian Whack-A-Mole.

Family Easter 2017 So thankful that Jesus is alive today and that he ... Read More

Well we didn't have the best weather for this year's Daffodil Parade, but it didn't stop us from having a good time. Huz decided to walk with Trenton in the parade, so it was just Aidon, Jackson and I cheering from the sidewalk. The band was #129 (yes, that means there were 128 bands/floats/cars/horses/dance teams in front of them) so they were pretty much the last to go. https://youtu.be/daDyY1xOBOU But they were worth the wait. ...

Weekend Rewind
This past weekend was Jackson's Birthday Weekend, so we celebrated ALL weekend. We haven't always been able to celebrate our middle child, because about this time of the year he starts getting bored and restless at school, which leads to talking out of turn, or gluing his classmates seats down, or bringing Nerf guns onto school property. And all of those things result in Parent/Teacher Conferences or in-school suspension or other punishments that don't warrant birthday parties. But this ... Read More
