Well, he turned 5 three days ago, but since I am perpetually behind on a wide range of items, I am just now getting a picture posted. 🙂 We have a little shin-dig planned for him this weekend to celebrate with family and close friends. I can’t wait for the cake! 🙂 This picture oozes…

Iowa Pics
Thought I’d share a few of my little girl as she explored Grandma & Grandpa’s yard. I think she was a little overwhelmed by all the grass! The sandbox was BY FAR her favorite place to spend time. She got a nice start on her “must eat 1lb of dirt by the time I am…
That ain’t right!
I received a report from my friend Christi who informed me that today’s weather in AZ was a bit off for May… I checked the Phoenix temp and here is what I see:
Wii Fit – available for pre-order
WhooHoo! I’ve sent in my order to Amazon.com for the Wii Fit system from Nintendo. Super excited about this! Just thought I’d share that you can pre-order it for the May 21st release date! Whoohoo! 🙂
Shameless
This is a shameless mom-post. Isn’t my Sarah cute? (Just nod your head and agree!) She’s nearly 21 months – and seems to be on the cusp of her terrible twos. She’s learning to pitch fits when she doesn’t get her way and when she’s doing something she shouldn’t be and you give her that…
Clovers, Cupcakes & Ice Cream – Mmmmm Mmmm Good!
Growing up in Iowa, I joined 4-H when I was in elementary school after a not-so-enthusiastic endeavor into Brownies & Girl Scouts. 4-H was more my speed as it allowed me to pursue my individual interests (such as baking, photography and raising rabbits). The program helped give me a good foundation on how to set…
Sarah and the Pool
Summer decided to pop in over the weekend and wave “hello” and remind us that it hasn’t forgotten about us Phoenicians – I think it was 95 or so on Sunday. Ugh. Thankfully the 10-day forecast for Phoenix doesn’t look too bad. Each spring we purchase a little plastic play pool for the kids. We…
Mother’s Day: Perfect Gift
If you’ve ever met me in person, you’ve probably caught me wearing my favorite jewelry pieces from Sentimental Silverâ„¢. My good friend Christi J is the owner/designer of this hip line of personalized sterling silver jewelry and I wanted to share her website and a few pictures since Mother’s Day is less than a month…
Kids Fly Safe
Since both my husband’s and my family lives in the Midwest, we fly, on average, 2-3 times a year, if not more (Sarah took 6 round trip flights in her first year!) Scott and I have the “get to the gate” routine down to a science and both kids are pretty well behaved on the…
T-Ball
My 4 year old, Kevin, started t-ball last month. His first game was actually last weekend but I had to miss it because my 20 month old developed *another* ear infection and I was with her at the doctor’s office last weekend. So – today was the first game I was able to watch and…
