A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Visit from a Friend. Grayson met Joey about 4 summers ago at our annual church camp. Joey is from Oklahoma, but he and his siblings come to Colorado Springs every year to visit his aunt. I just love how he and Grayson have…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.The Birthday Boy. Super Rockstar recently celebrated his birthday. Well–maybe “celebrated” isn’t accurate, since he doesn’t typically thrill in getting another year older. Our boys, with all of their teenager teasing–don’t help matters much. They call him “Old Man” and “Grandpa’ most of the…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Kansas Kayaking. My Mom–who loves everything outdoors and adventurous–recently got her own kayak and has been paddling the section of the Arkansas (that’s pronounced Ar-KANSAS thank you very much) that flows through my home-town. She treated my sister, Super Rockstar, the boys and I…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Some creative stuff. I can’t seem to get through the summer without at least one project or so. At our first garage sale outing of the season, I found some patio chairs that were super cheap and just needed some TLC. At first,…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Spring Sports are done. Grayson had an incredible season playing spring flag football with i9 Sports. I love that they have a really good program for kids where they teach the skills for the sport, but also positive character traits that encourage the…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Summer Fun Begins. Summer break has begun and we are squeezing every drop of fun in that we can. Every year for the last day of school–I always pick up a few things for the boys to kick off summer break. This year I…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Springtime in Colorado. For those of you that live in more “normal” weather states–springtime is probably a nice rain shower here and there with your beautiful gardens (that you got to plant back in March) bursting with life and wonderful color. Here in Colorado…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A little too close for comfort. The winds have been ridiculously high in our area lately. Plus, we are experiencing a drought–up until a couple of days ago, I can’t even remember the last time we had more than spit falling to the…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. Grayson Stuff. My younger son, Grayson, is a typical second born. We have several nicknames for him, but lately “Even Stephen” suits him the best. He wants to do everything his older brother does, in the exact same order and in the exact…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Skate City. This place has been a go to for both of my boys late elementary through middle school years. Their school always hosts a special discounted night and there is a contest for the “golden skate”–an award for the teacher with the most…
