Ice Hockey

Ice Hockey

One of Curtis’s friend’s parents works with the local Hockey Team and was able to get the boys in for some Ice Hockey training so they could earn their Ice Hockey Belt Loop.  I love when Curtis has an opportunity to try something new. Curtis’s friend Travis and his dad took Curtis so I didn’t get to see him participate. … Read more →

The Greatest Show On Earth

The Greatest Show On Earth

Our local library offered the kids free tickets to the circus if they read 5 books.  Of course we couldn’t pass that up.  The kids read all their books in one day so they could hurry back and get their tickets. Friday night was the big night.  John decided to stay home with Gianluca so it was just the older… Read more →

The Splash Pad

The Splash Pad

The last two weeks we have met the Mosely family at different splash pads so the kids can run around and play together. The first time we brought bikes with us and let the kids ride around the splash pad.  They had a blast.  The second time I brough 100 water balloons.  Last minute I threw the kids’ scooters in… Read more →

In this heat any source of relief is appreciated.  One day the kids and I hit up the sno cone shack, Frostbite for a cold snack.  Our friend, Kelsie works there and we were hoping to see her but of course the day we went she wasn’t working.  We did run into her brothers though who were also there getting… Read more →

The only thing you can do outside in the summer here is swim or go to a park with a splash pad.  And even then… Read more →

Kindergarten Graduation

Kindergarten Graduation

Alessia is now a kindergarten graduate.  She was beyond excited to participate in the graduation ceremony and have us there watching her sing.  She was absolutely giddy. She sang all the songs with gusto and waved to us a million times.  It was a really short program.  The two kindergarten classes sand one song together and then each class sang… Read more →

The Last Day of School

The Last Day of School

Another school year has come and gone.  Curtis finished third grade.  He had a good year.  He had a lot of crazy little adjustments at the end without a permanent teacher for that last few weeks.  But he just went with the flow and did well.  While Curtis doesn’t always get the best grades he does love learning.  He tries… Read more →

The kids love to make silly faces and it is even more fun if you take pictures of yourselves while making silly faces.

Home Depot

Home Depot

My kids still love going to Home Depot every first Saturday of the Month.  Curtis remembers almost every month.  We have to look up the craft the night before to see what the project is going to be. This month the kids made a wagon pencil holder.  It was a pretty easy build.  The kids had a blast painting.  And… Read more →
