A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A new camping adventure. Last year we tried out a new to us campsite called Jellystone resort (you can read about our fun adventure here). We were planning to visit again this year and made our reservation well in advance. However, we got…
Day 5 1/2: Heading to the YO Ranch Headquarters. When we left SeaWorld, we convoyed with Gary and family to just outside Kerrville, TX–home of the YO Ranch Headquarters. Super Rockstar’s sister, Gigi lives on this enormous sprawling over 10,000 acre wildlife and hunting ranch with her husband, Eric, who manages the place. We got…
It has been 5 years since we have set foot on the hallowed ground of the great state of Texas (you cannot be married to a Texan and not say Texas without the preface of “Great State of”). Texas is where Super Rockstar is from and all his family still resides. It’s also where I…

A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Trip To Trampoline World. Every year my boys make a “bucket list” of all the things they would like to do over summer break–a trip to Trampoline World is always included. We had Morgan’s birthday party here back in March and haven’t been…
Every year we go to my parents house for 4th of July and making homemade ice cream is a definite must while we are there. They have an old fashioned crank ice cream maker and it is tradition that all the men folk present take turns cranking. My Mom’s recipe is absolutely delicious! …
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.A need to replace. I don’t like to have to replace things, but sometimes it’s necessary.
