Category Archives: holidays One SMART COOKIE & one Scary Scarecrow this year! That sweet little scarecrow did all of her own face make-up :)~ Well, I missed Luke’s best game of the season this Halloween night, but I had so much FUN with my sweet Lainey Kate!! It was just her & I trick-or-treating around the neighborhood. I think she got more candy than ever that night!!! I added some videos from Luke’s 7th grade season as A-team Running […]  So I just have to share that when the kids and I went to get Brian this guitar, they did not ask, but proceeded to their instrument of choice and started rocking out, LOL! I got a few pics!! Wait to hear the drums, Lainey ROCKS!!! Lainey Kate Rockin’ Out! There we were sitting at church on Christmas Eve when a Fox 4 News reporter approached me and asked if they could put a mic on one of our children as they sang the Christmas songs. I was really surprised, but did not mind and suggested they put it closest to Lindsey. They asked Lindsey […] For our children’s school auction, we host a Gingerbread House decorating party that parents buy spots to for their children to attend. I always have the best time preparing for this party! It was a lot of fun and 14 very sweet children were sent away full of SUGAR!!! https://www.jibjab.com/view/make/everybunny_dance_now_2/dOwTE8K7RrSlvHyENrYCGQ For our children’s school auction last year we hosted a Gingerbread House decorating party that parents bought spots to for their children to attend. It was a week ago and I had the best time preparing for this party! It was scheduled for the 7th, but the sheet of ice that passed through the city […]  One thing I want to add onto this fun Halloween post is that we ate “walking tacos” that night! See pic below….the kids loved this and it may have to be a Halloween tradition. So fun and EASY!!!  Finally added a Mother’s Day pic. We all had a wonderful time and I was spoiled by my husband and children as always. The thing I look forward to the most on Mother’s Day are the sweet things that the kids make in class. I cry every time, so sweet. I finally added an Easter […] The Power of PLAY! I always find it interesting when people say, “Oh, I remember leaving my house in the morning and not coming home until the sun was about to go down”. Really? You stayed out all day and played and did not come home until dinner?! Well, I had four older Brothers, so […]  Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns. ~ George Eliot  I once read in a Goodfella’s pizza menu that it is customary for Italian folks to eat zeppoles on St. Josheph’s Day. St. Joseph’s Day is a Roman Catholic feast day commemorating the life of St. Joseph, the step-father of Jesus and husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary. People with very strong religious association, often […]  My intentions were good, but it just did not happen : ( So there we are in San Antonio for spring break with the green shirts, fun headbands and annoying blinking clover pins packed in our suitcases. It was also the day we went to Sea World, so by the time we got back to […]  Well, we are starting the holiday season up in full speed this year! We started at ICE below and the next day decorated gingerbread houses followed by the Nutcracker!! We are definitely feeling the spirit and loving every second of it. How can you not, what a blessed month to be in : ) Oh, […] Ok I know I have been so bad with updating this blog : ( I know a lot of you view it and I am really sorry : ( Each time, I say I will do better and it comes back to haunt me! Speaking of haunting, did you see the Halloween JibJab video below? […] JibJab null I still get a smile across my face every time I think about our Christmas trip to St. Thomas. We had a great time and made lots of fun filled memories! My favorite part of the trip was sailing on the Lady Lynsey with our family. It was Christmas day and there we were on […] I really love this time of year; all the way from Halloween to the New Year! But, boy is it a busy time of year! Thanksgiving was really nice.
