Jake’s party design
Jake is having a Minecraft party this evening with four boys here. He designed this party to celebrate the release of the Minecraft World of Color update (launched today), and I made the cake he designed! I think I did pretty well. I cheated because I am still working so I couldn't do it … Continue reading Jake’s party design

Mother’s Day with my kids
I actually got all four of my kids in one place, and we celebrated Mother's Day last week on Wednesday last week! With the older two out of the house and the older three working, it's hard to coordinate schedules and get them all in the same place at the same time. They figured it … Continue reading Mother’s Day with my kids

Setting up the rest of the corral
Ted did it! The corral pieces he ordered finally came in after four weeks of waiting, so we headed to Hillsboro on Saturday morning to pick them up. It was a straight over and straight back trip. Then it was time to set them up. It was a little harder than we thought it … Continue reading Setting up the rest of the corral

Spring band concert
Sunday afternoon was the last band concert of Sahara's junior year of high school. It's hard to believe that my girl is going to be a senior after Friday. It's even harder to believe that a year from now we'll see her graduating high school. I am so not ready for this!

Gardening with Gramma Izzie
Gramma had me help her with her plants earlier this week. That woman can grow anything (just like my Mom!). I, unfortunately, did not inherit this gene. Here's hoping one of the kids did. Gramma has a big strawberry pot full of "hens and chicks", and there are tons of little "chicks" growing out from … Continue reading Gardening with Gramma Izzie

Visiting Dogwood Pass
Jake's school took a field trip to Dogwood Pass, a wild west "town". They had such a good time. They met Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok and Rattlesnake Ron, saw all the buildings in the town while learning about the history of what living in a real wild west town would have been like in … Continue reading Visiting Dogwood Pass

My baby went to prom!
Sahara looked so grown up and beautiful in her prom dress! It's hard to believe my baby is this grown up, but she is. She has one year left of high school, and then she'll only have a couple of years left in college (she's in the College Credit Plus program here and is … Continue reading My baby went to prom!

Saved from the mouth of Luci(fer) herself!
I was in my home office just a little bit ago, finishing an end of year parent/teacher conference with a student and parent, when I looked out my office window. I immediately noticed Luci under the trampoline, murdering playing with something that looked to be larger than a mouse. I ran outside to see what … Continue reading Saved from the mouth of Luci(fer) herself!

Silly Daisy!
I have the silliest cat. Daisy does this thing when she's cleaning herself, and if she gets distracted, she forgets to put her tongue back in and just sits there, making this goofy face at everybody. It's hilarious! Now the kids distract her on purpose just to get a big laugh out of her … Continue reading Silly Daisy!
