Resolution Week

By admin | Published: January 5, 2012

This is the first year Big Guy has asked about resolutions. I am not sure he can completely grasp this concept, but he understands it enough to deem this week, Resolution Week. The week where apparently I, a.k.a. Mom, helps the kids by setting resolutions. Score! I will make the most of this! So, we [...]

Crazy on a Good Day

By admin | Published: August 31, 2011

I doubt many of you faithful readers have ever read by bio on the “About” page.  I hate writing these.  I never know what to say about myself.  Frankly, I usually read my own biography and think how ridiculous it sounds…but, this time, I worked on it some more until I was comfortable with it.

  **A special thanks to Ashlea and Joel for taking pictures while I was organizing the festivities. When I asked Big Guy what he wanted to do for his birthday party this year, he told me he wanted a Star Wars Lego Party.  We had a lego party the year before and that just wasn’t [...]

Running Club

By admin | Published: July 25, 2011

This was our first year to experience the Oklahoma Public Schools with an actual student. I have to say it was wonderful. Every part of it was great. One of the activities that was at the top of my favorites was Running Club. Just after the new year, the kids started “training” for the kids [...]

By admin | Published: June 6, 2011

I have been branching out more and more taking the boys to the store with me. The first few years they were born, I did this all of the time. But as years have passed and I have more opportunities when they are at school and activities, it has become much easier to go sans [...]
