Party Time:  Eight is Great

On August 22nd my big boy got a little bit bigger. We celebrated his birthday at Pump it Up with some of his school and scout friends.  He wanted a video game themed party. I partly feel bad because there wasn’t really much about it that was geared towards video games besides the Super MarioContinue reading “Party Time:  Eight is Great”

And Anna was adorable and hadContinue reading “Dance Recital “

And when I say “we,” I use the word very loosely because Garen and I can’t take credit for much since his sisters and Connie’s daughters did most of the work, along with some talented friends thatContinue reading “Retirement Party Fun”
