does anyone remember way back when i wrote about asking the kids if they wanted a peanut butter fold over and chase replying…very confusedly, “what? a peanut butter forward roll?” well…if anyone does remember that, then you will be amused by his question to chad and i last night after chad asked him what he […]
the kids are back from camp. they actually came home friday afternoon after bible school. chad and i went over to my parent’s house to visit at lunch time on thursday. some of the kids were getting a little home sick, so we decided to add a visit to them to our “day date.” we […]
the other night i watched the movie win a date with tad hamilton. i really watched it because it stared kate bosworth and she is one of my favie faves because of her roll in a little gem of a film called blue crush. i totally want to look like her. i think i’ve probably […]
camp week is here! the three oldest went to camp gran this week. camp gran is a small, comfy, family camp…complete with beautiful southern lodging with great homemade meals, bible school mornings followed by special activities designed especially for colton, chase and aiden…late afternoon swimming with personal life guards, topped off with smores and home […]
so my sweety sweet friend, cara left a comment on the 9 going on 19 post that got me thinking more. (dangerous, i know…and a bummer for chad who has to entertain my rants concerning the subject when he gets home.) maybe you didn’t know that my 9 year old’s favorite band is the black […]

as i pondered how i wanted to take advantage of the sweet time with the darlins this summer, i realized that i had to take some action. my first goal is to successfully slow time down. colton is 9. that’s 9. here are some stats for you. half of his time at home with us […]
today i took colton and aiden to the store with me. aiden had birthday money that she wanted to spend and on this particular day, colton needed to be anywhere that chase was not. they have been “relationally challenged” lately. and most of the time i can’t pin-point who or what the problem is. i […]
i want to work out. i really do. i have never felt so weak and out of shape in all my life. i know what you’re going to say. “you’re so skinny, mindy…you don’t need to lose weight…if anything, you could stand to gain a few pounds.” i have heard this time and time again. […]
this is one of those stories that you would only believe if you were actually there. and lucky me. i was. lauren, one of chase’s classmates, lives a couple of houses down from us. she has an older sister, alli. they come over to play in the backyard nearly every day after school. the other […]
