Photo Friday: Colorado- Where the Wild Things Live- Part 1

Garen and I had the MCAA Midyear Meeting in Steamboat, CO in August and we decided to take a few days off before it to go to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Of course, we had a great time and, of course, Garen took some awesome photos. These are only a few becauseContinue reading “Photo Friday: Colorado- Where the Wild Things Live- Part 1”

Photo Friday: Puddle Jumping

We were happy to be able to take all four kiddos to Pioneer Reunion (Clay County’s big yearly festivities). There’s multiple parades and a great rodeo as well. Boot fever struck our house as we got ready to head out there and realized only one of the twins would have a pair of boots. HeavenContinue reading “Photo Friday: Puddle Jumping”

Photo Friday: Mom’s 60th

My sweet Momma is 60 today! I know, I know…she totally doesn’t look (or act) that old. Last Saturday night we managed to pull off a major surprise Fiesta for her. I’m still not quite sure how we did it without someone spoiling the surprise but somehow we did…and it was GREAT! Here’s a fewContinue reading “Photo Friday: Mom’s 60th”

Photo Friday: Jeep it Up

Last weekend Garen got some much-needed away time with his jeep. I think basically a bunch of cool jeep people got together to drive their toys up and down hills and valleys and in and out of lots of mud and water…in case you couldn’t tell. Nothing like playing in the mud! I’m pretty sureContinue reading “Photo Friday: Jeep it Up”

Photo Friday: New England Favs

Here are a few from our girls’ trip to New England- Newport, Boston, and Salem.  There’s MUCH more content to come, including our itinerary, but these are some of my favorites, not just because of the quality but because of the memories.  House of Seven Gables…can I be honest and say I don’t remember theContinue reading “Photo Friday: New England Favs”

Photo Friday: But Wait, There’s More

Here’s a few more from our family vacation that Garen took. Like I said, we all had a great time.  The kids are leaving to go to their Joe Daddy’s today for a couple of weeks and, man, oh man, am I going to miss these smiling faces! Check out last week’s Photo Friday andContinue reading “Photo Friday: But Wait, There’s More”

Photo Friday: Prepping for Pinewood Derby 

Garen, Will, and Dad (AKA YaYa-yes, we know that is actually grandma in another language but Will called him that as a baby and it stuck) worked hard on Will’s pinewood derby car last Saturday. Garen got some great photos for me to share.  I love that they get the opportunity to spend time inContinue reading “Photo Friday: Prepping for Pinewood Derby “
