Colton came up with this title for me and I thought it pretty clever. Last night I found my thrill…and it’s called my Favorite Summer Meal. I thought about taking a picture, because it seems that is the big bloggy thing to do when you blog about a meal, however I thought about it a […]

the much anticipated ultrasound was today and it’s official. we are having another girl!! colton, chase and aiden are quite excited that another sister is on the way. aiden was sure it was a girl from the beginning. when i told her…she smiled and whispered, “i was right.” so…here is where you come in. we […]

we had a nice, little memorial day weekend. complete with a home improvement project (BOO!)and swimming (YEAH!). chad started things off on saturday with a little painting. i’m happy to say that i helped him by dusting the woodwork so that the tape would stick when he went to tape the room off. i used […]

well…the minute i started thinking that i had not had a blog-worthy story in a while, chase comes to my rescue. we have small group at our house every sunday night, starting at 5:30. my brother, kevin has been having 2-a-days ever since he was put on the fight card for a june fight and […]

so, everything was fine until about 2:00. i had left this morning with an agenda. i had to get the boy’s to school, get aiden to school, find a nail salon near the south shore area to purchase chase’s teacher’s b-day gift, get to my (much needed) hair appointment, swing through a drive-through to get […]

after colton’s ballgame the other night, we decided to take advantage of baskin robbin’s 31 cent scoop night. never mind that the line was about 30 people deep and wrapped around the store outside…daiquiri ice was back and i was getting some. the real entertainment came on the drive home from the ice cream parlor…and […]

so, colton is in the middle of his first season of official little league. you may be thinking…is there really a difference between little league and the parks and rec leagues? let me answer you by saying……..”ummm…yeah.” i was not initially aware of these difference until shortly after we started. the uniforms are more official; […]

the story is about aiden and her modesty at old navy the other day. lately, i have been finding cuter tops in the little girl’s department than in the toddler’s department. the problem here is that aiden is just turning 4…so she is technically wearing a 4T or a 5T. however…sometimes i get lucky and […]

today, colton stayed home from school. no…he’s not sick. he had a field trip downtown to see a play and he begged and begged to not go. he said that he had never been on a field trip without me and i am not the room mom this year for his class, so i could […]

lately i have been feeling so yucky that i have not even logged onto the computer…much less posted anything. i haven’t checked e-mail in weeks. hopefully, in a couple of weeks i will be feeling lots better. hopefully. chad has pretty much been having to pick up the slack around here. seeing as i can’t […]
