Last night, I started going through the pictures from Key West.  I love them all.  They bring back such great memories.  First off, it was me and Lance away for 6 days without our children.  That’s not really something I go for normally, but this trip was special.  It was for our ten year anniversary. […]

:: Lance is one of three kids.  His siblings and all the kids met at his parents house in New Braunfels for a long weekend. :: Yes, we have more than double the size of everyone else’s family.  So with our crew, there are a total of 18 people in the house. :: The kids […]

I actually don’t have a lot of pictures to share from Sunday, although I am sure next week I will find more I have to post.  Until then, here are five that make my heart swell:

:: My “no yelling” couldn’t last forever.  I tried, and kind of lost it yesterday.  I really wanted to go to mass, and No David didn’t.  He never does.  He thinks that it lasts too long.  Daily mass is 30 minutes.  And honestly, I don’t care.  I’m not a religious fanatic, so I am not […]

I started this post on Friday, and then decided I wanted to make Cinnamon Scones.  Good choice.  They were done at 6:45 Friday night and were all gone by Saturday morning before we left for pictures at 9:30.  They were that good. I’m not going to edit and change tenses on what was written on […]

The end of another week. One week closer to summer break. Another Friday in which we left at 7:25 and didn’t return until 4:00.  I’m dead tired after today, but it was a good day, a great workout, saw Stacy, went to Mass, the library, Starbucks, picked up Goose and went back to the library. […]

::The boys have their first baseball games tomorrow.  I’m excited for them, both Goose and Baby Hulk seem to enjoy playing.  I’m glad, but have become super stressed about them getting lice.  How do I tactfully tell the rest of the team to stay away from their helmets?  I can’t be the first parent worried […]

I used my brand new dishwasher for the first time!  It took almost a week to fill.  Everyone keeps asking how we lasted so long without a dishwasher.  I can assure you (as if you care) that there were never dishes stacked in the sink for more than five minutes.  I’ve said it before, I […]

:: Let’s start it off on a high note, shall we?  Today is Jessica’s birthday, my sweet little girl is now 18.  I call her “my” as if I own her.  I don’t, but she is family.  The boys love her and due to recent plumbing issues, we’ve become even closer to her since her […]

What am I doing this weekend?  Overseeing my son work on a project he’s had two months to finish.  Not the junior, the second grader.  It’s not even a difficult project, but he has done nothing to get started on it except read the book. It’s a biography of Jackie Robinson, and he has to […]
