Career Day 2017

The big kids had Career Day at school today. The kids were encourage to come dressed up as what they want to be when they grow up.  Will wants to be an architect, Garen tried unsuccessfully to get him to rock the bow tie…  Anna, at first, wanted to be a witch, then a unicorn,ContinueContinue reading “Career Day 2017”

And just like that…She’s Six!

Every single birthday my kids celebrate seems to come faster and faster. Time truly does fly when you’re having fun.  My sassy little princess, Anna Beth, turned 6 on Friday. She got a “big girl” bike and took her best friend to see the new Beauty and the Beast at the movies. Do you seeContinueContinue reading “And just like that…She’s Six!”

Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours!

We wish you a Merry Christmas! Here’s our Christmas card this year, thanks to the wonderful work of Amanda B at ViriLovelyDesigns on Etsy. We went to Santa’s Adventure at the Parks Mall again this year. They’ve got a great Santa and we all love the Dreamworks 3-D sleigh ride. I’m not a huge KungContinueContinue reading “Merry Christmas from Our Family to Yours!”

Photo Friday: Six Flags Holiday in the Park

Last Friday was Will and Anna’s last day of school for the holidays. We celebrated with another trip to Six Flags Holiday in the Park.  We have season tickets and also bought the meal pass, so we always eat there too. (I did the math and if we eat there four times, we’ve paid forContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Six Flags Holiday in the Park”

Last Minute Gifting: Family Movie Night

Have I ever mentioned that I am the queen of procrastination? Well, they say the first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. So I’ll admit it: I wait until the last minute sometimes. Disclaimer: I did buy the almost all gifts early, mostly thanks to Amazon.  Wrapping…now that’s a whole other story.ContinueContinue reading “Last Minute Gifting: Family Movie Night”

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 MarioContinueContinue reading “Party Time:  Eight is Great”

Shotgun Show-off

Let me start by saying that I would never have really imagined that I would EVER own a gun of any kind. I have never felt drawn to hunting as a sport and I really don’t feel the need to carry a concealed weapon. Most of this is because the few times I’ve shot I’veContinueContinue reading “Shotgun Show-off”

Adventures with Four: How we survived an 8-Hour Roadtrip

We just survived an 8-Hour round-trip road trip with twin 9 month old babies, plus a 5 and almost 8 year old.  Here’s my travel tips for a successful trip with that many kids in one vehicle: Consider leaving at night or early in the morning so you can get as much of the driveContinueContinue reading “Adventures with Four: How we survived an 8-Hour Roadtrip”

Adventures with Four: Picnicking with Donuts

Sometimes I think the best way to stay sane with four kids is to load everyone up and go somewhere. Here’s my logic behind today’s early-morning adventure to the park: Donuts are always a big hit with the kids (even if they aren’t the healthiest).  Picking up breakfast meant I didn’t have to cook.  TheContinueContinue reading “Adventures with Four: Picnicking with Donuts”
