I’ve been calling what we were/are doing with our kids homeschool. I get it that it’s not homeschool because what homeschool parents do is way cooler than anything I’m coming up with and includes field trips (although digital field trips now abound). So, whatever it is we’re doing, we’re all doing the best we canContinue reading “Days 6 & 7: COVID-19 Whatever You Call This Time at Home with Kids”

Photo Friday: Longhorn Cavern State Park
Over Christmas break, we made the trip from Hamilton down to Longhorn Cavern State Park. I’d been there back when Will was still an only child but we didn’t have time to go on the cave tour. It was one of the Texas Bucket List things that I’d always wanted to check off. I don’tContinue reading “Photo Friday: Longhorn Cavern State Park”
Photo Friday: Lovely Louisiana
We were fortunate to have Christmas with the Odom side of our family at Emilie and Brian’s home in Alexandria, LA. It’s a beautiful place to be. We got to go do some hiking in a nearby national park. Although it was cold and a little damp, we all enjoyed it and it was greatContinue reading “Photo Friday: Lovely Louisiana”
Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights
As I write this today, I’m recovering (and doing loads and loads of laundry) from our family vacation. It was fantastic and exhausting. We started out last Friday roadtripping down to Galveston with the littles (stay tuned for a post on road trips with toddlers), followed by an afternoon at Schlitterbahn in Galveston. Saturday, weContinue reading “Photo Friday: Family Cruise Vacation 2018 Highlights”
Photo Friday: Independence Day 2018
We celebrated Independence Day this year with a shrimp boil at Aunt Haley’s House with the Graves family, minus Will and Anna, who were at Joe Daddy’s house for the holiday. Aunt Haley had a sprinkler going, fully loaded bubble guns, and poppers (since we’re in a burn ban, plus two year olds and realContinue reading “Photo Friday: Independence Day 2018”
Photo Friday: Just Keep Swimming
Since today is officially the beginning of summer in our household, it seems appropriate that I should post these photos from our adventures at the pool last weekend. Summer means swimming, right?!? As you can tell, we had a blast in Mammy and Yaya’s pool. Our little fish loooooove to swim! And Clara almost refusedContinue reading “Photo Friday: Just Keep Swimming”
Sprinkler Saturday
What do you do when it’s hot outside and you need to keep the troops entertained??? Go outside and play in the sprinkler!!! And Garen got out his fancy lenses to capture a few quick photos. I think they turned out pretty cool, don’t you?!?
Photo Friday: Longhorn Love
Garen took these photos last week on this way through Hamilton from Marble Falls. I’ll admit, I love longhorns. To my fellow Aggies- sorry, not sorry. They’re beautiful animals and I love these photos Garen caught….. Even if they are UT’s mascot. Happy Photo Friday everyone! Photo credits to Garen Graves Photography. Check out theContinue reading “Photo Friday: Longhorn Love”
Dashboard Randomness: Sunrises and Bluebonnets
Today I had a golf tournament for one of the regional associations I’m part of in San Antonio. Usually, when I go to San Antonio I will drive down the night before but I have been on the go so much lately I decided to just wake up early and drive this morning. And, boy,Continue reading “Dashboard Randomness: Sunrises and Bluebonnets”
Photo Friday: Fossil Rim
Garen took the bigs to Fossil Rim a few weeks back on his way back from Hamilton. Despite Will almost losing a thumb while feeding a very greedy Oestrich, they had a fantastic time. If you’ve never been to Fossil Rim in Glen Rose, it’s absolutely a Texas bucket list item! It was a greatContinue reading “Photo Friday: Fossil Rim”
