Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

On Sunday (before the meltdown of epic proportions, if you happened to see my FB on Sunday), Sam found the microphone that goes with our Guitar Hero game. Clearly, he’s a rock star in the making. (And I didn’t even get the best part on camera – after each “set” he’d call out, “Thanks, guys!”)

Thursday morning when Daddy left to take Bubba and Bear to school, Sam got VERY upset. He was sobbing like his heart was broken in two that he didn’t get to go with Daddy and his brothers. (Daddy said they could hear him from the car.) A sad Sam eventually climbed into my lap and we looked at […]

Well, ONE  of them is, anyway.

Last weekend (the weekend BEFORE Labor Day), we were invited to a birthday bash for my brother-in-law Steve’s 50th birthday. It was at a fancy Brazilian steakhouse in Addison. Tracy and Steven (not the same person as the birthday boy Steve, just in case you were confused) and Eli and Eliana came up for the […]

Finally! The last installment of our family trip recap. (I know you’ve been on pins and needles). On Friday, July 20, we loaded up to the gills again and headed toward Buena Vista, Colorado. Bryan’s original plan was to go from Almont to Taylor River Canyon to Taylor Park, then up the dirt road side […]

We arrived in Crested Butte in an absolute downpour, with about an hour to kill before we could check into the condo. We let the rain slack off a bit, and then parked at one end of the adorable main street and walked to a pizza place we’d read good things about. Aside from the […]

I know, I know, I’m a terrible mommyblogger for not yet having recapped our family vacay. FINALLY, I have a few minutes to put the kind of thoughts picture collages together to give you a sense of the trip. Since the post would be forever-long if I put it all into one, I’m going to divide up […]

Mommy and Daddy are not overly articulate at the breakfast table, so Sam often carries the conversation. Here are some snippets from recent days that I think you’ll enjoy. This morning S: Mommy, where Daddy? M: Daddy’s in the potty (sorry, B) S: Daddy in the potty? I see him! M: You see Daddy in the potty? Do […]

We hope everyone has a safe and fun Independence Day! To get your day started with a smile, here are some pictures from Sam’s 4th of July celebration (parade and class party) at school! (The good pics are courtesy of Lily’s Mom and Dad!)

Really, the title says the important stuff. Caleb’s All-Star team, the Keller 8U Gold All-stars, won the PONY District 3 Sectionals tournament this weekend. That means they advance to the Regionals tournament July 10th – 15th in Cleburne. (For anyone keeping track, after Regionals is State, and after that is the PONY World Series.) For your […]
