In the last few months hubby and I followed through on something that we have tossed around for a year or so, but we have disconnected. I know that sounds ominous, and it truly is not. We have made our house a no screen house from Sunday night through Thursday night. That means that we are not sitting in front…
This just happened… I sent two of my little men off to school on the school bus. I am a very sad momma, thankfully I still have one brother home with me! Big Brother started second grade and Middle Brother kindergarten. After meeting their teachers on Friday they have been asking me every day when they get to go back…
With our summer days numbered the boys and I headed to the pool. After two hours of splashing and football our pool time was ruined by floating brown stuff… needless to say I could not get the boys out of the water quick enough and get them home and showered. Thankfully it was none of them that ruined the pool…
Since hubby has been working nights a lot lately that means that I have to keep the boys busy outside of the house. This morning the boys and I packed up their back packs and rode bikes to a nearby park. The boys thought it was the coolest thing. I told the boys that I was not going to be…
Summer storms really are my most favorite thing. Today while we were at a park we got caught in a huge summer storm. We could see the clouds coming in but the plan was just to sit under the shelter and eat our lunch as the rain fell and then after the storm passed to go and play on the…
After a fun filled week in Steamboat Springs I am so glad to be back home as a family of five. It is good to have all my boys here with me. Hubby decided that he is going to take the rest of the week off and we are going to just spend time together as a family. So while…
Before we left for the family reunion hubby made a list of a few places that he wanted to visit while in Steamboat Springs. Fish Creek Falls was one of those locations that hubby wanted to visit. When we arrived I was blown away by the lush green. There were ferns growing every where lending itself to a magical feeling. …
Steamboat Springs really does have a lot to offer. Gondola square during the summer is a hub bub of activities. Hubby was not satisfied with just hanging out in the little stream that runs through gondola square… that man wanted to hike the three miles up a 2,500 incline to the top of Steamboat Springs mountain. What? Really? Yep, I…
One of the neat things about hosting the family reunion in Steamboat Springs is that there are so many things for everyone to do. This weekend there is a hot air balloon rodeo in town, an art festival, a rodeo and many other events. This morning we woke up bright and early and headed to launches. It was one of…
What could be better than family and fun? Well with the family reunion in full swing a few of us ladies had a fun night planned. A few weeks ago my aunt had mentioned doing a “Van Gogh and Merlot” on Facebook which got some chatter going about trying to get a group together while at the reunion. I then…
