“Drama Queen” a poem by Caleigh

Caleigh penned this about a month ago on our way to AWANA. I remember when I started this blog because Ruth made me how much fun Cole had calling me blogger beth and hollering out when I would be backing out of the drive that if I did not return […]

Roomies

These two kept me laughing all year with their randomness! The sister was a bit worried about the brother and metnioned it to me regarding his toothbrush. She said he hadn’t even unpacked it from his “ditty bag,” so she was worried he just might not be staying! And then […]

She Hid It From Both of Us

I had the best surprise today! I picked up Caleigh from school and she pulled this out of her backpack. Of course I screamed! I was thrilled to have it. I did however ask if she forgot it at school and that is why I am getting it today; she […]

The Send–Off

Now that I know they are headed home I can title this just the send off. Pretty sure it would be the sad send off had it been written a year ago. Who am I kidding. It was a horrible day. I remember one of the toughest of my parenting! […]

No Party No Open House Just FOGO

Happy Birthday Dad!

I Love My Dad!!! I know my kids joke about their nick names in the family and try to lay claim to the favorite child, the beloved child, the spoiled one…and possibly just possibly if we asked my brothers and sisters they might just say I was all of the […]

Board at Taos

Spring Break Twenty Thirteen We decided to find some snow this spring break! Caleigh does not remember seeing any, and since she is our little Alaskan we thought it was time. Too bad the “company” doesn’t still fly us to Alaska because skiing up there would have been do-able too! […]

Happy Twenty Four!

Happy Anniversary Keith! I started this a couple of days ago and you’d be surprised how long it actually takes to get it uploaded and going between carpool, concerts, practices. When I told Kevin what I was doing he said shouldn’t I save that for the 25th! I said seeing […]
