Last night, immediately after work we headed out for some dinner, picked up some hot cocoa and then enjoyed the Winter Wonderland lights display at Tilles Park off of McKnight. With everything going on last year, we did not get out to see Tilles Park, but I did find my old blog post from 2010… >> View Post

Preschool 3 Moments
Autumn’s teacher periodically sends photos of what the kids have been doing in Preschool 3. I love peaking into Autumn’s classroom to see what she has been up to! Here the kids are around the sandbox, where their teacher places items that start with the letter of the week.Autumn’s play doh person looks sort of… >> View Post
Christmas Lights
I haven’t had lights on the house in years! It was so fun to dig them all out of the basement and put them to use again (and, they still all work!). Its funny, because the one bush on the left used to be too small for the special bush lights, but now it isn’t…… >> View Post

Happy Thanksgiving!
This Thanksgiving I feel blessed for good health, my new husband and his family, having Nathan and Autumn under my roof on most nights and the tremendous JOY they give me, my family and friends, the kids school, our church, God’s love and protection, my job and Brian’s (in these times, especially!), for all the… >> View Post
Cubscout Turkey Bowling & Feast
Last night, Nathan’s pack had their annual Turkey Bowling and Feast. We were in charge of bringing rolls, so Brian… being as awesome as he is (because any guy that can cook, is awesome in my book!) was up until 1:00 a.m. the night before making these homemade pumpkin rolls. What was I doing? Sleeping!… >> View Post

Autumn’s Thanksgiving Feast
This is a snap shot of Autumn in the morning before school, wearing her Turkey dress that a friend sewed for her. I love this dress! I thought it would be best to wear it with jeans and some brown boots to school.Usually the school throws a ‘Thanksgiving Feast’ (potluck) every November for the lower… >> View Post
Autumn’s Birthday Party at School
This is the birthday cake we brought in for Autumn and her class, she is actually off of school on her birthday (how did she luck out on that one?) so we had to celebrate it early at school. She loves Baskin Robbins ice cream cakes (because, it has cake, not just ice cream!) and… >> View Post
Autumn’s 4th Birthday Party
Normally, I am on top of it all. But, it has been a busy (but good!) year, and so… I was up until 2 am the night before Autumn’s party getting things finished for it. Autumn started ballet and tap this year, and she LOVES it, so I knew a ballerina party would be PERFECT…. >> View Post
Magic Kingdom
While waiting for our transportation to Magic Kingdom, I took some outside shots of our hotel. The only way to get to the Magic Kingdom is by the boat or monorail. I always like to ride the boat in, then take the monorail on the way out. Here is the view from the boat, on… >> View Post
Disney’s Wine & Dine Half Marathon
After weeks and weeks of training, I did it! I finished Disney’s Wine & Dine Half Marathon, with a PR!!! of 5 minutes! I was really proud of myself. I felt GREAT during this race, I really did not feel too exhausted until the last 3 miles, and those last 3 miles are ALWAYS exhausting. … >> View Post
