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 […]

Have a floor picnic with breakfast, complete with a guard dog and bouncing sillies. Spend some time playing cars. Make sure to leave time for some painting. Make silly faces. Read books. Play toys. Watch the world go by.

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 […]

Sam took Mommy and Me swim lessons the last two weeks (as in, last week and the week before. Yes, as usual, I’m lagging in posting). Since lessons were at our neighborhood pools, I decided to try to work in some exercise for me, too (something I struggle to do lately), by pushing Sam up […]

Yes, I know we’re two weeks into summer vacation, but I still wanted to highlight the awards the big boys received at their end of year awards ceremonies at school. Caleb’s was first, so he gets first billing in this post: That’s the listing of the possible awards and what they’re for. Caleb earned the […]

Just so you don’t think that our boys are block-headed jocks because I most often post about their sports prowess (I know, I know) I wanted to share a couple of great non-sports stories about Caleb (remember, you got a non-sports Jacob story on Tuesday). I promise we’re working to raise well-rounded boys. In case you missed […]

Tonight was the Tidwell Middle School spring band concert. This is a big deal; the kids dress up and get to perform at the Byron Nelson High School auditorium (which, btw, is scary-huge to this small-high school girl). The Beginning Band (6th grade) played first, and then the Symphonic and Wind Ensemble (forgive me if […]
