The other day something awesome happened to me. I received a screener copy of the new romantic comedy, Unleashed, to review on my blog. I almost never watch movies at home, though I see almost every single cartoon movie that comes out at the theatres. See, I’m one of those people who loves going to the movies. But I rarely watch them at home because there are NONE that I even want to see. I have pretty much ONE genre of movie […]

DAY 2: EPCOT CENTER JD was a little disappointed when he met Bay Max. He had it in his head that he was going to get to “put Baymax’s stuff on him.” Translation: JD wanted to dress Bay Max in his red armor, but they told him to please not touch anything. Ha! For most people, Epcot is all about touring the different countries, but for us it was all about 2 things. #1. Hanging out with our friends and […]

There’s a word we hear a lot around here: “best friend.” JD says that Daniel is his best friend. That is mostly because I drill that into all of my children’s heads from the moment they are born. “Oh, look, he is being so sweet to you. He is your best friend.” “Your brother will always be your best friend.” Positive reinforcement style of brain washing is a good thing to do. Trust me. JD often asks, “Where my best […]

So that’s what we’ve been doing. We’re officially under contract on a house I’m excited about too. Wahooo!!! It has ZERO carpet in the living and dining areas. The master bathtub is gigantic, and so is the fenced backyard, so let me tell ya. I am happy. Am I […]
» Read moreThe vast majority of these photos were taken by our family photographer, Aunt Janet. Thank you, yet again, Janet!! Baseball season has been time-consuming but joyous this year. Joshua joined a team late in the season that was short on players because after seeing his brothers enjoy playing so much, he wanted in on this action too! That puts Joshua in the “Mustang” league, which is an exciting game to watch. At this level, the players get to pitch, get […]
» Read moreThis week is our Spring Break. Wahoo! That’s something to celebrate! I have about 5 billion goals to accomplish and all of 5 days to do it in. Mostly, we are prepping for the big move. It’s three months out, but hey, that’s like three weeks in Mom years. I could tell you what’s been going on around here, but I thought it’d be more fun to show you, so today’s blog is a photoblog: What happens is that […]
» Read moreI’m so happy to tell you that our flight was a smashing success. That photo is JD, our veteran flyer, taking his very first turn on a tablet. It kept him occupied for all of like ten minutes. Yes, he insisted on riding the airplane barefoot. He is a boy after my own heart. I will never fully understand you shoe people. 😉 But that’s okay. You can wear your shoes, and we can wiggle our toes freely, and we […]

When we originally planned this cross country move, Alan asked me what I’d like to see. I only had one request: Grand Canyon. The whole trip was built around this. It was totally worth it. My dad showed us a newspaper article he’d found about the Grand Canyon Railway. It’s a train that goes from Williams, Arizona, up to the south rim of the Grand Canyon. We decided to give it a try, and I’m glad we did. This was […]
