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. Date Nights with our boys. Every couple of months or so, Super Rockstar and I like to take our boys on a date. He will take one and I take the other and then next time we switch. We usually let the boys…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.10 years of killin Sofa’s. One of the favorite gigs that Super Rockstar’s band, SofaKillers, plays is in a local neighborhood that puts on a summer concert series. Wolf Ranch was the place SofaKillers debuted 10 years ago. They played their first gig there…
Bad days happen all the time –it’s just a part of life. But, when a bad day hits on a Monday it seems to feel a bit more pungent. A couple of weeks ago we had such a day. It started out normally enough–I got up, had my quiet time, and made breakfast. Then,…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1.Some Fun at the Park. There are several parks around town that I have been taking the boys to since they were babies. One of them is called Cottonwood Creek Park. This park is great for so many reasons–great play equipment for all ages,…
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. In the case of a blind for the boys room–it was VERY necessary. As I sat duct taping their roller shade back together, Super Rockstar looked incredulously at…
I don’t know what kind of pizza you eat at your house, but at mine– it’s pepperoni 99.9% of the time. I like pepperoni ok, but sometimes Super Rockstar and I like to have our own kind–lots of meats and occasionally a veggie or two. The agony of picking out the parts the boys don’t…
A weekly list of things accomplished, enjoyed, learned, tried and remembered. 1. A Snow Day. I’ve been cheated! I’ve been robbed! What kind of cockamamie weather system causes 12″ of heavy wet messy snow to fall at the end of May?! There was only 2 1/2 days left in our school year. 2 1/2! I…
