Ever since we moved to the Dallas area, I have been wanting to take my crew to Medieval Times. I knew they would love it and they did! From the time I told the kids we were going, it was all they could talk about. The horses, the sword fights, the feast–the anticipation was high…. [continue reading]
Fun at the Fair
Jason took a day off and took us all to the Texas State Fair on a Wednesday, when it was cheaper and significantly less crowded. It was such an exciting day and my husband seemed to be getting into the thrill of things with the rest of us. Maybe it was because I told him… [continue reading]
Sightings
1) It was Sunday morning. My husband came into the living room and declared, “As I was getting out of bed, I moved the curtain a little, and I could swear I saw a mouse run under the bed. Oh well, it was probably just my imagination.” 2) Later on Sunday–Hoots and hollering came from… [continue reading]
Dream Baseball
We have been Ranger fans ever since we moved to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. My husband is given tickets every so often through his job. It is so much fun to be able to take the family, and the seats he is given are incredible! Of course we were thrilled that the Rangers were once… [continue reading]
A Fall Day at Home with the Family
Oh how I have enjoyed the cooler Texas weather! It just makes everything feel so cozy and homey! One Saturday we actually didn’t have any where we needed to be, and it felt so great to work around the house. Jason took the kids out side and had them all “helping” fix the play scape… [continue reading]
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… [continue reading]
Free Museum Day 2011
For the last three years we have participated in Free Museum Day, the day when museums all around the country open their doors for free. Well, many only offer two free tickets per household which in our case doesn’t help a whole lot. Fort Worth does a Day in the District that coincides with Free… [continue reading]
The Joys of Being a Parent
I read somewhere that men want to be told that they have big muscles. I hadn’t really thought much about it, as whether or not my man has big muscles has never mattered to me at all. I made a mental note to remember to comment on said big muscles. It was about then that… [continue reading]
Daddy Daughter Dates
You know how recently I told you that I was going to start taking my kids out for dates, one child each week? Well, it was such a good idea that my husband stole it! Actually he had it planned for a while; it just worked out for him to take them right after I… [continue reading]
Our Visit to Six Flags over Texas 2011
As if we didn’t have enough fun on our vacation, we took the kids to Six Flags over Texas! I had been dying to go for the last five years. I mean, we live practically down the street from it, but there have always been reasons why we couldn’t go. The cost was always the… [continue reading]
