2009 Staycation, Part 3
Part 3 of the great 2009 Staycation! (Part 1 and Part 2) Saturday and Sunday we hung out at my parents house. For some reason we didn’t really take any pictures, so…. sorry! Saturday we had some friends of ours (the Olmsteds and Broadbents) that had moved from Cincinnati to Cleveland over for a BBQ.…

2009 Staycation, Part 2
Continuing my staycation report (Part 1). Thursday was a relax day. Well, it was supposed to be relaxing in that we didn’t really go anywhere. But it wasn’t so much relaxing since we had tons of shopping, cleaning, packing and preparing for our weekend trip up to Cleveland! Friday we got up early (well normal…

2009 Staycation, Part 1
So we have been planning a “staycation” here in and around town for awhile, and this past week we started it off. First off was a Reds game on Tuesday night. It rained pretty much the entire day and it was not looking good for a game, but about 5:00 p.m. the clouds lifted and…

Sunday Sacrament meeting
So as I mentioned in my last post, we’ve been dealing with some kid sickness. Because I have meetings and such that I have to go to church anyways, I went by myself last week. Church is definitely interesting with the no-kid factor in there. So while I was sitting there in sacrament meeting, actually…

Good vomit story
So – classic story that I want to share. We have recently been sick in our family, of the vomitous variety. As many of you undoubtedly know, one of the downsides of having multiple children is that they all get sick. And they don’t even have the consideration to all get sick at once. Nope,…

So I may have been mistaken for a homeless person
First of all apologies to those of you I’ve already told this story. But yes, I fear I may have been mistaken for a homeless person yesterday. I was out at the mall last night with my 2 older children. I had gone there to walk around because I was in a pedometer challenge (who…
