End of a Season
Pin itThursday was a day if significance. It was my last day at MOPS as a discussion group leader. I have done it for 2 years at the MOPS group in Poulsbo. It has been a wonderful experience, and it has been a tough road at times. The first year was stressful because I walked [...]
Easter Buckets
Pin it Decorate your own bucket! I made one for each of my kids and nephew for Easter. It’s easy and it’s fun! Get a good bucket and a few paint pens and go! I used the book I Can Draw Animals, an Usborne book. I bought the book for my kids, but I have [...]
Breakfast in your bed
Pin itI am so blessed! On Sunday morning Joel brought me breakfast in bed. He called it, “breakfast in your bed”. He told me it was because it was my “Muvers Day” and I ran fast at the race. He brought me Cocoa Puffs (I’d say about 24 puffs floated in a very full bowl [...]
Joel's First Race!
Pin it What a guy! On Saturday (the 15th) You ran your first race! It was 25 yards long and you took off like a pro! There were quite a few kids there, so the organizers split the race up into 2 waves of girls and one boys wave. However, as in your common fashion, [...]
Slow and Steady "Wins" the Race!
Pin it Saturday was the Viking Fest Road Race. I signed myself up for the 5 mile run, and signed Joel up for the 25 yard run for 4 & 5 year olds! My race started at 9 am. Joel’s “race” was scheduled to begin at 10:15. I was concerned… I hadn’t run or exercised [...]
E-cards by Joel… Part II
Pin itJust needed to add a little p.s. to a previous post titled E-cards by Joel. Yesterday, Joel’s friend Connor replied to Joel’s VeggieTales e-card. I just had to copy it into here! He wrote (with mom’s help, as you will read…): Dear Joel – I want to give you a spider man mask, a [...]
This is Jenny's husband…
Pin itI’ve pirated JennyOntheSpot for a few minutes because I have to tell you something. Jenny is a gift to me. Every day, there’s a moment or two that I almost can’t stand up — like the day after our first kiss. She’ll work up some outfit to wear for all the running around she’s [...]
A Date with My Son
Pin itJoel and I went on a “date” tonight. Joel really looks forward to our dates, as do I. These dates provide special one on one time — just with each other. Tonight we went to see the local children’s theater perform Oliver Twist. His friend Jack was in the play and Joel enjoyed looking [...]
E-cards by Joel…
Pin itOver the past couple of days, Joel has been sending e-cards from the Veggie Tales website. I managed to copy all but two of the letters. Though I typed the words (and clarified a wee-bit only where necessary), what is written is what he said and how he said it. To Gramma, Grampa & [...]
Who Knew?!!!
Pin it Who knew that one can draw on the carpet with crayon??? One wonderful Saturday morning (April 24, 2004 to be exact) — as we ate chocolate chip banana muffins with our friends Scott and Michele — Joel came in the kitchen and announced, “Livi drew on the carpet with crayon” I was unalarmed. [...]
