Category Archives: just because I did not get many photos, but this service project was enlightening & rewarding to us both 🙂 Also added a fun St. Jude Food Pantry w/friends!  Funny story here….the three women in the photo bottom left all met at our kiddos original school, Prince of Peace Christian School! And we all ended up at Lovejoy! Very sweet & kind ladies.  Just sayin’ this was a request from my hubby….who received apple pie bacon in his Bacon of the Month Club provided by his lovely family for Father’s Day. If I could attach a pig emoji, I totally would, LOL!!! Not sure if you can see it; however, that is bacon in there and they were […]  I once read that it is customary for Italian folks to eat zeppoles on St. Joseph’s Day. St. Joseph’s Day is a Roman Catholic feast day commemorating the life of St. Joseph. People with very strong religious association, often those of southern Italian descent, typically celebrate St. Joseph’s Day. March 19th is said to be […]  Apparently, the 12th traditional wedding anniversary gift is silk. My sweet husband brought me home a beautiful dress by a lovely designer and I absolutely LOVE the dress. However, I really needed/wanted a handbag so at least I get to look back on it in pictures! Thank you Brian. You never cease to amaze me […]  I once read in a Goodfella’s pizza menu that it is customary for Italian folks to eat zeppoles on St. Joseph’s Day.

People with very strong religious association, often those of southern Italian descent, typically celebrate St. Joseph’s Day. March […] Check out How to Make No Bake Energy Bites by Nikki Lyon on Snapguide.  So my sweet Lindsey & I are leaving volleyball practice and I am playing with her hair as I usually do. I say, “Gosh Lindsey, we need to get your haircut”. She says, “Oh, Mommy we can go right now to the Pink Out game and they will cut it right there!” I say, “whoa […]  So, the other day Luke went in and put on his Daddy’s boots. It brought me back to fun times with him at home and reminded me of a picture I took of our little boy in Daddy’s boots. My, how time flies! Not such a little boy anymore, cry, cry sob:( I’m not sure if anyone can appreciate this video as much as me! The times Lindsey and I (and now Lainey ~ you have to be 4) have had here in this awesome city have been memories that I treasure deep in my heart and are so very precious to me. The video does not […]  I once read 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 those of southern Italian descent, […]  A friend of mine talked me into participating in a consignment sale that was held in February at the Frisco Discovery Center. I thought, sure, why not….I normally just give all of our stuff away to the church or friends & family. Easy enough, right? Here are some pics of this experience. Brian would come […]  Sorry honey, but you do it to yourself! I had a painted pottery party the other day at our house. The day before the party, Dr. Delphinium shows up with this gorgeous arrangement from my sweet, sweet hubby: The card read, Honey, I hope you have a good party!  So, it’s August, which means double over time for me at my kids school. I love to volunteer at the school, it’s helpful to PTF, Admin. and the Teachers. A huge perk for me is being able to see and visit with my kiddos while I am up there. During this time, it’s slightly more […]  We had the funnest time picking blueberries this year! There is just something about picking and eating fruit from a bush and that is exactly what you do in Edom, Texas ~ Pick em’ and Eat em”!!! They are DELICIOUS:)  I just have to write about nothing!!! No, I am serious…..I have nothing to worry about or do for approximately a week. It is such a fabulous feeling that I just have to write about it. Since Tuesday, which was Lindsey’s last day, our schedule has started to slightly taper off to now, with Luke’s […]  This is Lindsey talking to a fence!!! HaHaHa, I could not resist…..I really think sometimes our kids talk so much that they really would talk to a fence! No, this is Lindsey talking through the fence to her friend, Karl. He lives right behind us and is in Lindsey’s class!!!! They pass each other small […]  I feel like a wedding just ended!!! Lindsey and her Daddy have been planning for this Snowflake Ball for over a year now, seriously! The two of them had a fabulous time and Lindsey’s last words before falling fast asleep tonight were, “I’m so tired, I had so much fun”! As if to say, Mommy […]  Ok, I know this is a very peculiar picture to post and really only my Mom and Dad will “get it”!!! I basically don’t like the heater. I don’t like the feel of hot air blowing on me (or at me, ha!). It seems like every year, right after we turn the heat on in […]  I am not really sure what is going on with me lately, but I have been cleaning out closets, organizing like crazy and getting all crafty! BOWS, there is no easy way to store them and they are scattered all over my house, ugh. I have had it with never knowing what bow is where […]  It’s official, Lindsey is my little gymnast, not my little ballet dancer! She told me all last year that she wanted to go back to ballet and so I put her in a 4 week camp back at Chamberlains. Today, when we got in the car, she said she wanted to go back to gymnastics, […]  Where does the time go? I blink and it’s been months since my last post, but it feels like yesterday! Let’s see here…..well, since I ended on movies last post, I guess I will start with movies again. Brian and I saw a really great movie called Limitless a few weeks ago. It was rated […] WoW!!! What a strange occurrence of events! Who would have thought that last week was going to end up like it did?! Bizarre!!! We have had an absolutely lovely week and I am not complaining because how often does it happen?! However, I believe that Luke built every possible jigsaw puzzle in the house, Lainey […] Ok, so here is my plan to bring everyone up to speed. Lindsey’s 3rd and 4th birthdays will be on one video, followed by Luke’s 5th and 6th birthdays, Lainey’s 1st and then Summer fun 2010! I am working on it now, so check back soon : ) Click on the links above or scroll […] I just have to say after posting the video of “Daddy with Daughters II” (I updated it), Brian is such an amazing Father. As I was going through and pulling the pictures to post, he was in soooo many of them. And that is how it is in their lives. He is always there for […] I was able to remove the play doh out of the carpet!!! YAY : ) Still having a really fun Summer!!! Luke and Lindsey just finished VBS and next week they will attend a camp with Luke’s teacher from last year whom we LOVE! Lainey is growing and changing so fast as you can see […] Oh, I almost forgot. To those of you who are viewing the Ballerina video, you may notice Lindsey’s long, curly hair is gone!!! Our lovely son Luke decided one day to cut all of his Sister’s hair off. We had been to Disney earlier that year and Lindsey got made up to be a princess […] Ok, no more broken promises : ( I thought I could handle posting every week, but I guess not. I will just post when I can : )So, everyone has met Lainey Kate and above that video was her Baptism and Easter. Above that is all kinds of fun stuff that you have missed b/c […] I really don’t like waiting so long to write on my blog and every time I look at the last update, I am amazed at how much time has passed : ( So, I have a lot to update and plan to write at least every week from now on. I will add a few […] I knew when I pulled up this site and saw 2008 as my last post, that it has been some time since I have been on here!!! I had no idea it was from October of 2008 though….very sad and so sorry to the people that actually look for updates on here : ( I […] Our baby girl is growing up way too fast. I can’t believe she is already two years old. They are definitely not babies for very long after the first one….sad, but true : ( We had a fun time and cupcakes on Lindsey’s Birthday day and her Daddy brought her home two roses. After those […] Well, I went for a long time without writing AGAIN! A lot has been going on in the Hardwick household these days, and I guess that is why I have not written in so long. I did manage to post most of our Summer activity pictures. We had a great, busy Summer and over that […] Well, I have not been doing a good job updating everyone via my blog…sorry to those of you who view it.Let’s see, ok first of all my favorite furry friend in the world is now in pet Heaven. That is all I am going to say about sweet Griffin.Luke, Lindsey and Brian are all doing […] Well, the fashion show was just the opposite of what I said in a post earlier…UNEVENTFUL!!! I hate to say never, but I don’t believe we will ever do something like that again. If you have ever seen the movie, Little Miss Sunshine, then you know what I am talking about. There were actually Moms […] For some reason, I have been taking a lot of pictures lately. I updated Lindsey’s I am Growing video and wanted to post Luke’s latest adventure! Luke sleeps on the top bunk now and will not have it any other way. I moved the ladder in the room to clean up the top bunk and […] Well, I was not comfortable making a movie of Luke on his scooter and leaving the little Princess out. So, I have added a video of Lindsey who is growing up way too fast. We have been enjoying our time at home relaxing and recuperating from all of the hustle and bustle from the holidays!Brian […] 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 promised myself I would write over the weekend and never did, so here I am now! Ok, Lindsey started Little Gym last week and loved it. She is one girl out of two out-numbered by about seven boys and has already been kissed by one!!!! What is that?!?! Our time together is so special […] Wow, it has been a long time since I have been on here! The girl’s trip was really fun….we did a lot of talking, laughing, griping, and exercising…..I know, exercising??? Amy had us sweating to an hour long workout she made up and then we went and ran! I think I burned 900 calories that […] We had a great time in Arkansas! I am truly blessed with my husband’s family…I could not ask for a sweeter Mother and Father-in-law as I have in Carolyn and Judson. Luke had the time of his life playing with all of his cousins. Lindsey was also on cloud nine from all of the attention […] Well, as always we had a great time at the lake. The last time we were there was after all of the rain. Luke’s new thing is to jump in the lake with Daddy, but two days later he had swimmers ear : ( So, there was no lake swimming this time, but we had […] Well, I am not sure what to say, but I will come back later and say something! |
