Park Group

August 15th, 2008 · 3 Comments · a day in the life, tina

We love park group! But is it more for the kids? Or their moms?? Its a great excuse to get together while the kids get to play and get their wiggles out. Bridget and I both look forward to it every week. Last Wednesday we were even able to convince Dave to join us – […]

Mrs. Incredible – Thanks again Shauntae Lewis (from Meet the Robinson’s) The bowler hat guy (also from Meet the Robinson’s) Belle (Beauty and […]

As promised in my College Life Timeline post, I am going to post more about my experiences during college. Before I go into too much detail about my first year at college there is a little bit you need to know about my childhood/adolescence… I lived a very sheltered life. I think I lived in […]

Dr. Horrible

August 10th, 2008 · 4 Comments · random

Dave came home from work the other day and asked if I’d ever heard of “Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog.” I hadn’t. So, then he showed me. I laughed. I cried. I wanted more. Basically there are 3 episodes (each 14 minutes long). The main characters are Dr. Horrible (Neil Patrick Harris), Penny (Felicia Day), […]

Anybody want some Free cereal??

August 8th, 2008 · 4 Comments · random

How does 4 free bags of Malt-o-meal cereal sound?? In-store sales + easily obtainable coupons = free cereal = no brainer! You may be aware that Smith’s is having their Founder’s Day sale this week. As part of the ad they have a promo on Malt-o-meal cereal…. $2/bag, but you get $4 off if you […]

Prayer & Testimony (toddler edition)

August 7th, 2008 · 1 Comment · a day in the life, bridget

“I need to bare my testimony” For the past several months we’ve been trying to teach Bridget what a testimony is. I’m not convinced that she has any real concept of what it actually means to have a testimony, but she’s caught on to the fact that on certain Sunday’s people take turns going up […]

Pioneer Day weekend we went camping with some friends. We all have kids about the same age and they are all really good friends. Us adults get along pretty darn well too (wink, wink). This camping trip marked the third (see the first & second) for us this summer! Which, with Dave’s school schedule, proved […]

Bridget’s Place Park

August 4th, 2008 · 7 Comments · bridget

Bridget really likes a certain park near our house… its called “Ryan’s Place Park”. We don’t go there too often because as far as parks are concerned its not the closest or most convenient one around. After more than a solid week of her asking to go to Ryan’s park, I finally took her. We […]
