I'm owning up to it.  I can't do everything.  Just like I recently told a friend how I do cut a few coupons, but I'd rather just go to Target for the convenience and pay a little more than go to several stores and score much better savings.  I just don't have the time, nor ...

I can’t believe my little girl is going into Kindergarten in a mere month.  Wow, where has time gone?!?!  Sweet Haley is so ready though, I must say.  She’s eager to read, eager to learn, and eager to meet new friends.  I know she’ll thrive there (after a few weeks of adjustment…I know she’ll be ...

Just days after school finished in May, we headed to Galveston for a fun week with the Fagan family.  They had a couple of campsites right off of the beach area.  We had a wonderful time!  We went to the Schlitterbahn water park one of our days that week too, which was a blast.  This ...

At the beginning of the summer, we went down the road to Isle de Bois State Park.  They have a small Kid Fish Pond there.  We had fun fishing!  I think we caught about 5 little catfish there.  Haley and Colton enjoyed fishing…and thankfully we caught enough so that they didn’t get bored.  Josh sure ...

This summer we’ve had lots of fun “growing up” the kids’ rooms a bit.  We’ve sold both toddler beds and upgraded everyone to twin beds now.  We found some AWESOME deals on new-to-us furniture on Craigslist, and its been really fun setting up their “new” rooms.  The girls got an awesome sturdy bunk bed with ...

Haley was old enough to start T-ball this summer, so we gave it a shot.  She’s doing great for her first time!  I’ve been most proud of her attitude through it all too.  Her first practice, she asked me if she’d be the only girl….and then her fear was true, she was indeed the only ...

Colton and Haley are also both participating in summer soccer.  Colton isn’t super thrilled with it, and it takes some encouragement, and Haley enjoys it quite well, although she wishes it was indoors.  I can’t blame her there!  Its hot out there!!  They don’t have any games at this level or anything like that, so ...

Last month Colton and Haley had swim lessons.  It was at noon every day for two weeks.  They really did great and they both came a long way from the first day to the last.  I was really proud to watch them. 

I just have to write it down so it doesn’t get forgotten one day.  Its too funny.  Kinsley says all of our names pretty well, even her own, but when it comes to Colton…. he’s “Du-Duck”.  Its hilarious to hear her say it.

Well, there are just no signs of babies anymore at this house.  I just can’t believe it because there has just always been a baby here for the last 6 years!  But that stage is past and we’re moving on…   Kinsley turned TWO on June 25th.  I can’t believe it!  And yet ...
