Thanks for stopping by our little world. There is never a dull moment in this house with Rob's teaching jobs, my part-time teaching and part-time photography, three busy kids, and more pets than we need. Check out the links above to read my friends' blogs, find old posts, or get in touch with me.
Megan and I went to the American Girl Place with friends today. Here she is with her Rebecca doll from Grandma Verna.

We are getting ready to bring in the new year the way we always do – on our couch waiting for it to be midnight in New York!

We went to San Diego for a couple days.
Here are the guys at Dick’s Last Resort for Logan’s annual birthday dinner. The place was packed with Nebraska and U of Arizona fans in town for the holiday bowl so Logan didn’t get the special treatment he’s used to. No silly hats, no songs, no setting...
Proof for Brady and Jen that their kitties are alive and well. Here is the gorgeous, lovable Thomas.
Beaumont is not my biggest fan. I’ve had to give him ear drops. It’s taken me, Rob, and lots of oven mits and towels to get those drops in. And we still have battle scars! Today he only...
Another early morning! We woke up to this beautiful sky! Rob and Nathan went fishing. Logan, Megan, and I went shopping with Stephanie – our annual after Christmas sale at Hanna Andersson. Although this year Megan didn’t want anything from that store. Got some stuff for the boys though. We also hit some...
First things first. Nathan lost a tooth!! His FIRST tooth! He’s 7 years and 7 months old and finally lost a tooth. Whew. We have been waiting for this day. He’s catching up to his peers. And thank goodness he lost one before Logan because they both have the same loose teeth! Well, Logan is...
Each of the kids opened up a savings account today. They were disappointed that they didn’t get a checkbook or atm card or get to “name” their accounts (Megan wanted to name hers after the cat), but they thought the little record book to keep track of their total was kind of cool.
Today we went bowling with our friend Jake and his mommy.
Logan did not bowl a good game and that did NOT make him very happy.
Rob’s parents came over tonight to celebrate Chanukah. We decorated cookies, exchanged gifts, ate a yummy Cafe Rob meal, and drove around town looking at Christmas lights.

Today was our annual fake snow day!
This year they went all-out with a snow ramp and a play area + a live band, free food and crafts, the Home Depot kids club, jumpies, etc.
We ran into LOTS of friends!
