We are huge Chick-fil-A fans! This was a favorite place to eat out of ours before we had children and now even more so. We had a blast participating in Cow Appreciation Day yesterday. We have gone every year since we first heard of their promotion. I think it is so much fun to dress… [continue reading]
A day at the lake
After Grace ate cake and opened presents, we headed Jason’s cousin Corrie’s house for an afternoon and evening at the lake. It was a reunion of extended family on my husband’s maternal side along with great friends of the family. It was so good to see everyone. It was our first visit to her house… [continue reading]
Happy Seventh Birthday Grace
Grace is seven years old!! It is so hard to believe! We went out to Amigos for lunch. Amigos is one of the places we must stop at every time we come to Nebraska. Their Chicken Fajita Quesadillas are a favorite of mine! Grace was thrilled with a kid’s meal all her own and a… [continue reading]
Spring Neighborhood Party and Glow Stick Madness
Our neighborhood has a party for everyone a couple of times a year. It is lots of fun with free hot dogs, cotton candy, and snacks for the kids. They always have a jump house and my kid’s favorite thing is the DJ. He has been there every time so far and has fun music… [continue reading]
Super Hero School Program
I have been so blessed to be able to send the kids to a one day a week school for homeschooled kids. They get to do lots of things like PE, art, and music in a school setting while learning from home most of the time. It also gives me a day to run errands… [continue reading]
A lovely spring day at our house
A boy and his dog. I took the photo through the door because I knew that as soon as I opened the door our retriever would get up, and she did. For so long she would knock Little Jason down when he was outside. I’m glad that they are good friends now. Boys and sticks. … [continue reading]
How to make Vanilla Milk
My girls picked out this recipe in their Southern Living Kids Cookbook a while back. Yesterday they asked me why they hadn’t been able to make anything for a while. Well, we’ve had a lot going on, but besides that they are not getting done with their school work. Well guess what? They got up… [continue reading]
Weekend fun target shooting
We had such a fun weekend! Jason and I actually got to go on a date! You know, the kind without the kids. It’s a rare thing, but I love when we get to go. I’ll tell you more about that tomorrow. The weather was gorgeous and we spent lots of time out in the… [continue reading]
This makes me laugh
We were riding in the van. All the usual things going on with the kids, except that on this day they were getting along. Ha! They were actually laughing and carrying on to the point where I was distracted. In the back seat I’m not exactly sure what Grace and Faith were doing, but I… [continue reading]
Summer Reading Club
For the last several summers the girls have joined a reading club at a nearby baptist church. They met once a week for reading, crafts, snacks, and a short video. Unfortunately, we missed lots of the meetings due to all of our traveling and company this summer, but we still managed to make it over… [continue reading]
