Hunt Dog’s class went to Deal’s apple orchard and had the most fun! We went on a hayride and ate apples as we bumped along in the wagon. We got to pick a pumpkin and walk through a sunflower maze, which was my favorite part of the day. What a neat idea! If you are [...]

We went trick or treating to Grammy’s early this year because she has to work Friday. The kids loaded up on Tootsie roll suckers, and candies. Tay decided to make a new use for her tootsie rolls and made them into fingernails. She then later ate her new nails! Her creativity never ceases to amaze [...]

It is midnight and all the children are asleep in their beds, except for Grant. He is wide awake and snuggled up between Roger and me in our bed. Here is the conversation that ensued:
Mom: “Grant, you are spoiled rotten!”
Grant: “I am not rotten.”
Mom: “Yes you are, it is midnight and you are not in your bed [...]

I just can’t believe that my first born child is 11. In 7 years he will be able to leave the house and be on his own. He had a great Halo 3 birthday party at our house. The house was full of 12 boys, some teenagers, and his brother, Big Mac, and some of his [...]
