family

James turns 8 today. That means we’ve been in the kid business for a while (8 years + 4 kiddos). It’s hard to believe.

Happy Birthday Buddy!

It’s Christmas Eve and we let the kids open a present early. They received new sweet sleeping bags from their Grandparents, so tonight they’re all camping out together indoors.

The weather’s been great around here. The if the sun is out, my kids are outside with it. I can’t wait for summer to get here.

How’s the weather in your neck of the woods?

I took the day off Friday and went hiking with the family. We had a great time. Here’s a few shots of the day.

Around our house, you never know what you’ll find lurking in a random box.

This is proof that advertising works… 

Our family has been watching bowl games for the past two weeks. And at dinner last night, Samuel, my 3 year old, picks up his cup and drinks down all of his water. Then he turns to me and says, “Ahh, drinkability.”

I, then, scolded him (while trying not to laugh), telling him not to repeat slogans from beer commercials. And now “drinkability” has become the underground word of choice amongst the kids. During last night’s Fiesta bowl, there was much whispering and snickering  during commercial breaks amongst the kids. 

Thank you Bud Light. I can’t wait for him to pull out that nugget, next Sunday at church…

The kids watched “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” (the original) the other day and started commenting on how Tristen looked like Cindy Lou Who…

What do you think?
