Today I need to give a shout-out to our Bear. He’s been a-MAZE-ing in the kid and brother department these days. He’s rocking the school thing – getting up on his own, making his lunch, killing it in the grades department. He comes straight in from class and gets down to the business of homework – […]

Snippets of conversations I heard from the nursing chair last night at dinner time while Daddy and the boys served their plates: B: We heard the weirdest song on the way home from your baseball game on Sunday, Caleb. It was something about “that bass” J and C in chorus: Because I’m all about that […]

Lessons I’ve learned (so far) from living with boys: You will find dirty socks everywhere – computer desk, couch cushions, in the sheets, your front passenger seat (yes, really, and let me tell you how nice that smelled after baking in Texas summer heat) – and they will never, ever be paired or even unrolled […]

Today’s TBT brought to you (from March) by a sadly-always-behind-Mommy. WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in March, Caleb was invited to a Very Rangers Birthday Party. As in, it was AT Rangers Ballpark. ON. The. Field. Can you even IMAGINE how excited this child was? (Heck, can you even IMAGINE how cool this non-sporty-Momma thought it was?) Due […]

In case you haven’t heard, the DFW metroplex (and other areas of North Texas) have been pretty much encased in ice since Thursday night. School was cancelled Friday, and for the first time in probably a decade, our office actually closed. We couldn’t even work remotely, because power to the building downtown was inconsistent at […]

Boy, do I know how to drag out Summer Fun posts or what? But, since it still sorta feels like summer around here (yes, in October), it’s not so bad to still be posting about summer fun, right? Right? Also, for all my friends who got their first dusting of snow last night, maybe this […]

A summer trip to Grandma and Grandpa’s is not complete without some time in the surf. The big boys wasted no time getting out as far as they could into the waves. Sam was initially content to play – and direct the play – in the sand. Eventually the whole family got in on the […]

For Christmas this year, Santa brought the Brandt family a 2-person kayak. They were nice enough to let us test it out on our trip to the beach house this summer. In related news, we’re now in the market for a kayak ourselves. 🙂

I have SO MUCH FOOTAGE of the swimming antics at Grandma’s house. Fear not, I have culled the plethora of images and footage and have picked some of my favorites. Enjoy – we sure did!

In mid-June, Caleb enjoyed a week at TCU’s Art camp. He really enjoyed it, and says he wants to do it again next summer, too. And since a picture says 1000 words (or so I’ve heard), enjoy this novel. 🙂 I must admit there is one other piece of artwork that I’ve not included […]
