Liz is at it again, and so we take the mini van all over this quarter of our state. Forest is coaching this year and that has worked out pretty well. He enjoys it, the girls seem to enjoy it, and Liz has yet to be embarrassed (just kidding honey.) Liz is pretty good at [...]

Okay, so it was over a week ago, but I have to put a few photos up:

You guessed it, I am still one busy gal. Really, does life ever slow down? School starts in THREE WEEKS! Just in the next couple days I am going to my sister’s musical about 2 hours away, planning, making cakes, and having a small birthday party for the twins, and going to my other sister’s [...]

It has been rather dry here. I think it has rained once in the past two weeks. Needless to say, we have been watering our square foot garden. My older two girls like this chore, so long as they can wear those old hats. They usually get wet, on purpose, and the plants get a [...]

at the zoo. It seems that anytime I think I will bring the kids to the zoo, it rains. Our zoo is over an hour away, thankfully there are other indoor things to do in the area.
This last time, we waited it out and went in the afternoon after the rain blew through. We had arrived [...]

or at least I was with my mom’s help. I am pleased with how they turned out, the girls love them and that makes me even happier!
Right before we left I figured found a tutorial (HERE) for a skirt that I really liked. We just happened to have this Moda and Amy Butler fabric sitting [...]

We are home from vacation, hence the lack on content around here for the last week +
The end of our trip included a couple days in North Carolina with good friends who understand a bit of our life and vice-verca. Twins are a trip, for better or for worse. Many people thing it’s all cute [...]
slow down a minute (or two)

Why do kids have to grow up so fast? Really, look at this:
We were getting ready for church and everyone ended up in a dress. They all looked so grown that I had to take a picture…we were late, but I didn’t care. When did this happen. The twins aren’t so tiny anymore. And the [...]

CHAPTER 9: DADDY VS. MURPHY’S LAW
Maybe it’s because I’m a guy. Maybe it’s because I was forced to take so many math courses in school (2 short of a Mathematical Minor! Woo-hoo!). But for some reason, I tend to see life in percentages. Especially daddyhood. Percentages and war/battle terms. For some reason, I also find [...]

In light of the coming weekend forcast full of 80 degree temps and sun shinning, I am spending the day in the kitchen. The only housework I want to do tomorrow is the kind that hangs laundry on the line or plants flowers in the window boxes (Pansies as we have been known to get more [...]
