Great Memories Made

July 1, 2009

Tweet We spent Father’s Day in San Francisco and had a great time! We stopped on Treasure Island, the kids loved walking around on Pier 39, we enjoyed a fun dinner at Bubba Gump’s, and then topped off the day with an ice cream sundae at Ghiradelli Square. If not for the traffic, it would [...]

Updates

June 29, 2009

Tweet First of all, I want to thank you all who have left me such thoughtful comments, tweets and messages. Also, I’d like to send out a special HUG for all who have stepped in to help Ray with the kids. You have no idea how much it means to me to know that there [...]

OD on the ER

June 28, 2009

Tweet Since I am barely able to function, let alone compose a coherent blog post, I’ve asked my hubby to update ya’ll on the reason why I have been MIA… It’s been quite a trying week, to say the least. It all started on Tuesday when I got a call at the office around 10 [...]

I didn’t think it would happen to me…

June 24, 2009

Tweet Ask any one of my family members or friends and they will tell you that I am not typically the type of mom who coddles her children. When one of my boys falls, I tell them to get up and keep running. My kiddos (no more babies here) play in the tub while I [...]

“kinda stressful”

June 23, 2009

Tweet Today started like so many other days, although a few of my kiddos decided to sleep in a bit. Not entirely abnormal, I wasn’t surprised when Ethan said, shortly after 10am that he hadn’t eaten breakfast. He came in from saying hello to his neighborhood friends, hopped up on the counter and drank from [...]

Look, Mom!

June 17, 2009

Tweet Last week we noticed that Josh was pretty much riding his bike without much help from his training wheels. The twins eagerly took the extra wheels off and, on his first try, Josh was up and racing down the street! Until the bully pushed him off… Visit more Wordless Wednesday participants at 5 Minutes [...]

Bullies

June 16, 2009

Tweet Our kiddos have made lots of friends in the past few days, now that school is out. My kids and these new friends of theirs would probably have been in the same classes throughout the school year. We would be no strangers to the mean kids in our neighborhood, because these neighborhood bullies would [...]

Garbage Day

June 10, 2009

Tweet Every week the Young Clan has a full trash can…and some weeks, it’s a little more than that. This week is a perfect example….We packed it in! Using cardboard to extend the sides, we were able to get the equivalent of FOUR full trash bags stacked above the top of the can. Thankfully, the [...]

Summertime Learning

June 4, 2009

Tweet As a homeschooling family we enjoy so much freedom. The freedom to take a day off here and there. The freedom to “do” school on a Saturday, a Sunday, or even an observed holiday. The freedom to work on math problems at the beach, have a science lesson on the way through the Nevada [...]

Headaches

May 30, 2009

Tweet The headaches that I’ve been getting truly are a pain in the neck! They start there anyway, and travel all the way up the back of my head and through my eyes… I had been getting headaches off and on for many months and didn’t think much of them. And then I got the [...]

May 22, 2009

Tweet As an ambassador for Graco Nation, we are always receiving great perks. Like yesterday, when we received a fun little surprise… A birdhouse kit! Zach was so excited when he saw the kit and immediately began inspecting it’s contents…. wood panels, glue, nails, and even paint. He wasted no time but got to work [...]

Kris Allen – Our New American Idol!

May 21, 2009

Tweet American Idol is a family favorite… Every Wednesday night we hunker down and watch both hours of the week’s shows. Last season we cheered on “the Davids” as they auditioned, performed (and even forgot their lyrics), made it to the top 12, then the top 3, and finally the top 2. Even today the [...]

I am weak, but He is strong

May 17, 2009

Tweet Do you ever get that feeling like you just need a break? Well, by Thursday night I was there. I had had a long few days, with very little time to breath. The week went by so fast and I didn’t seem to accomplish as much as I would have liked. By Thursday night [...]

Fresh Strawberries Are Best!

May 13, 2009

Tweet We love anything strawberry around here – strawberry jam, strawberry smoothies, strawberry cake. But, there is nothing quite like the juicy, fresh-out-of-the-garden strawberries. Just ask Josh. Over the weekend he was super excited to pick them straight from Mimi and Poppy’s garden. He was the only one who seemed so interested in seeking them [...]

Time Out

April 26, 2009

Tweet Being a mother of six is a big responsibility. The schooling, bathing, clothing, cooking, and cleaning most often overshadow the loving, nurturing, and just plain being with my children. Do you ever feel like you need a time out from the busy-ness that is life? Since Daddy was away this evening, I decided to [...]

A bit of *this* and a bit of *that*

April 25, 2009

Tweet I have, for the most part, been out of commission for the last several days, partly due to the worst ever migraine. This sucker took over my entire body on Wednesday and decided to hang on for dear life until last night. Because of this massive headache (headache seems too mild of a word, [...]
