Clarinet…

    Now... how exactly did this happen? Wasn't I just showing her how to tie her shoes and put the straw in the juice-box without squeezing?  This is something I absolutely cannot help her with. I don't play an instrument. Tried piano. Tried guitar. Wanted to...

Ten Years and Counting…

  A very sweet family member gave us a night at the Westin here in Scottsdale to celebrate...   It was breathtaking. From the moment we walked in, everything was picturesque and romantic.   They had great activities for the kids! A scavenger hunt, a lazy river...

Look what my In-Laws sent me in the mail!

     I love it! It will be so perfect in my kitchen! (I have this little ledge above my kitchen cabinets where I put all things vintage).    Why is Tulsa important? Because that's where Brian's sweet grandmother lived... good memories, all that matters.    What...

Saturday Mornings…

    Adorable little toes. Well, not so little any more...    Bright and happy pillows from Meg at Whatever...   Lincoln Logs from Grandpa Eschbach...   Sunshine and smiles... Makes for a very relaxing, nice and quiet Saturday morning. It will be at least 113...

Ten Years Ago…

    I was leaving the Texas Hall of Fame dance hall in College Station, Texas. We had finished a wonderful night of country dancing after dinner at Tom's BBQ. I was dressed in a plaid shirt and overalls. I was sure that tomorrow would be the happiest day of my...

One more try…

      We found this bike trail back in January. It reminds us of Texas, with all the green and the grass. It is perfect. The kids can ride ahead while Brian and I walk and get some quality talking and exercise. I have to do something. It is so hard for...

Loki and Nate…

    Our sweet friends Matt and Liz bring Loki over every Sunday night for Nate to play with. They run each other ragged, just going back and forth up and down the hallway. Then, Nate goes to bed and Loki rests on the couch. Oh, it makes me want a doggie so badly...

Meet the Teacher Night…

  Due to budget cuts, Aztec + Zuni = Redfield. The kids are headed to a new school this year. The principals did a GREAT job really including the kids in all the decisions about the name and mascot - they actually had a vote about what the 'new' combined school was...
