Cam: Future NASA Scientist!

Last Sunday evening, The Discovery Channel aired two back-to-back episodes of ‘Raging Planet’.  The first show was about tornadoes.  The second was about lightning.  We recorded these shows because I was interested in seeing them, and I wanted to make sure I didn’t miss them.  You can read about the episodes here. While they were [...]

Back to School at the Library

Today was our library’s official “back to school” event.  They had invited the children to make a back-to-school craft.  My boys were all over that!  The thing about Cam and Ty that warms my heart is the fact that they LOVE to do crafts.  They get that from me.  Anyway, the library had the kids [...]

Rick & Bubba’s Guide to the Almost Nearly Perfect Marriage

I picked up this book from Thomas Nelson’s Blog site.  Since I’m not that familiar with who Rick and Bubba are, I wasn’t really sure what to expect.  My marriage is pretty solid, so I didn’t really need help with that either.  But, I thought it sounded like a fun, light read, and chose it [...]

Cam Scores TWO Goals Today!

Just a quick post about today’s hockey game. Camden had his first multi-goal game today!  One of his goals was from a penalty shot.  He had two penalty shots, and scored on one, so that makes him 1/2 on penalty shots.  He was really pulling out every ounce of energy toward the end of the [...]

*UPDATE*: Our Very Scary, No Good, Very Bad Day!

Thursdays are our “date night”.  We refer to them as “Date Days” because our date nights take place during the day.  Generally, Date Day consists of me and Scott going fishing.  We love our date days.  The peace and quiet…the ability to finish a sentence without interruption…not having to dig into the cooler every 10 [...]

“Coastie” at the Library

The boys and I went to the library again today.  Today’s program was put on by the Coast Guard Auxiliary.  They were teaching the kids (and parents) about boat safety.  It was a darling program, and the gentleman who talked to the kids was very engaging.  “Coastie” was a remote controlled boat who “talked”.  The [...]

The New and IMPROVED Homeschool Classroom!

The Lord blessed us with the ability to move Scott’s home office to an actual office building.  So…we converted the home office into the boys’ new schoolroom.  Oh my!  The space we have now is luxurious!  We have room to comfortably walk around now! So…without further delay, here are the pics: And just in case [...]

Can Somebody Toss Me a Life Preserver?

Today was the first day I was able to access the boys’ online lessons.  Wow.  I am overwhelmed.  I admit it. I was so excited to finally be able to dig around in what they will be learning this year.  As I started with Ty’s portal, I quickly came to realize that this is for [...]

Cam’s New Love

Camden is in love.  Yes, it’s true.  She is the most petite little thing, with sandy blond hair and large dark eyes.  Her name is Sadie.  He talks about her every single day, and asks when he can see her again.  It drives me crazy. His new love is an 11-week old chihuahua that belongs [...]

Miscellaneous Bits O’ Stuff

I had neglected to blog about these things when they happened, so I thought I’d throw them all into one post. First up, the kids’ Award’s Night and Cam’s Kindergarten graduation: As you all know, Scott and I LOVE to go fishing!  Here’s a photo of the Spanish Mackerel I caught a couple of months [...]
