The Pumpkin Patch

The Pumpkin Patch that we love to go to in Flower Mound, TX has always been free until this year.  They began charging a nominal $5 per parking.  It is still, in my opinion, well worth the drive!  My husband decided that he could do without the trip this year so being the die hard . . . → Read More: The Pumpkin Patch

My Little Boy is Three!

We began our day at the Safari Park, where my little Birthday Boy was for some odd reason very timid and wouldn’t ride anything!  For lunch my sister and I took the kids to Joe’s Crab Shack because we thought the kids would enjoy the playground.  It was a perfect, slightly chilly Texas day!  The . . . → Read More: My Little Boy is Three!

Jason

A recent incident reminded me of Jason’s and my dating days.  We each had an evening class at the University of Nebraska on the same night of the week, at the same time, in the same building, and just one door down from each other.  Jason lived in an apartment near the school, so he . . . → Read More: Jason

Family Worship Time

Through the admonition of the teachers in our church and other speakers my husband has listened to, he began the tradition of a family worship time each evening before bed time.  I always thought it was a great idea, but sometimes have had mixed feelings about some of the whining and negative attitudes from the . . . → Read More: Family Worship Time

Put this on your blog Mom!

My daughter Joy purchased two balloon shape making kits with her AWANA bucks on store night.  The first one she opened didn’t work.  The little pump didn’t inflate the balloons.  No problem, I reminded her that she bought two.  I handed it to her as I prayed that the second one would work and it . . . → Read More: Put this on your blog Mom!
