My baby is 11 months old today. How did that happen? Wasn’t he just a newborn baby. (I was going to say tiny but he never was tiny). Gianluca is just a delight. He is usually very happy and very easy going. The last few days he has been testing out his lungs and starting to demand more attention. He… Read more →
This summer we are going to Utah for a family reunion with John’s family. We decided to mail a big bouncy ball to the cousins to let them know we were excited to see them in a few weeks. We also sent the cousins on my side of the family a box of candy with a note that said, “Have… Read more →
Curtis is nine going on thirty. He would love to be in charge. He told John and I that we couldn’t tell him what to do. That he had rights. He could choose if he wanted to go to time out or not. We told him that he was right but there were consequences for every choice and well, he… Read more →
I have spent way too many hours at the doctors this year. This past month it was turn to visit the doctors. In April I accidentally shut my garage door on my left arm. A week later it was still quite sore and I was afraid I might have broken it. Luckily, a trip to Dr. Grondel and an x-ray… Read more →
On Memorial Day, Curtis decided he needed to draw an United States Flag on the driveway since we didn’t have a flag to hang. He drew it all out all by himself. He even added all thirteen stripes and fifty stars. The kids went to the store with John that morning and donated some money to the Veterans. When John… Read more →

Overall, it was actually pretty boring inside. Just offices. No Jail or criminals at this station. The kids had fun though learning… Read more →
In May it started to stay warm on a continual basis so all the winter clothes were finally put away and the kiddie pool was brought out. Gianluca loves the kiddie pool. I shouldn’t be surprised because he loves baths too. The others kids loved having the pool out too. After a week though the water was quite gross so… Read more →
Our neighbors, the Bennett’s had to leave town so they asked us if we would watch their dog, Chica. We have watched their dogs before but hadn’t since Tuff Guy (their other dog) died. Chica was a little unsure of us. She wouldn’t eat in front of us. And she only at carrots. She didn’t eat any of her dog… Read more →
We all love Bartlett’s field day. I think every year it is held a month before school is out but this year is seem to creep up so quickly. The kids were so excited to go and do all the obstacle course and games. The babies and I headed up to the picnic a little early so we could watch… Read more →
One day while John was either out of town or gone at a meeting (I can’t remember any more..I am so far behind on Blogging). I took the kids out for a bike ride. We just rode the path in our neighborhood that takes us up to the school. The kids then played in the dry wash area. Curtis was… Read more →
