last weekend we had our annual family camparoo with my extended family on my mom’s side. i thought i’d share a few pictures of my family. my mom and my grandma. i’m the 4th generation of first born girls. (i sort of messed up the trend by having myself a boy first!) my mom’s dad. […]

the other day the little dude said he was bored so i asked him to build me something. i suggested he make a camera. this is what he came up with! isn’t it great?

last sunday for mother’s day my 3 boys took me out for breakfast and then we made a little trip down to milwaukee to visit the domes. here are the boys and i in the tropical dome in front of a waterfall. you’ll be seeing a lot of pictures of the domes and it’s contents […]

the hubby has had the flu all week and since he’s usually the one doing the nighttime routine, things were a little different around here. i helped out here and there with reading and getting them ready. one night he told the boys to go start brushing their teeth. this usually means that the little […]

we had a fantastic easter here. here’s a quick recap with some images of our week. waiting for the colors to dissolve. waiting is the hardest part! some of the final product. after playing “king egg”! after the egg hunt. sorting through the loot. little red doing the same…. a super-sweet brother photo!

this week, the little dude had his spring concert. for the first time, they also had an art fair, the same night. the gym was full of the kids’ artwork and we took some time to take some pictures of him next to his art. the photos just crack me up. in every single one […]

i shared just a couple photos earlier this week on facebook and twitter about little red’s surgery but i thought i’d do a complete recap of our morning here. changed into his despised hospital gown. he was really upset that it didn’t have long sleeves. he wanted to be “cozy”. checking his vitals before surgery […]

my mom came yesterday to help me can some spaghetti sauce from all the tomatoes we had in our freezer from our CSA. here are some snaps of our day. boiling one of several pots of tomatoes. running them through my grandma’s juicer. the boys thought the juicer was pretty much the coolest thing EVER! […]

we had a night out last week with the little dude’s school at a local bowling alley. here are a few animations i made from some pics i snapped during the night. needless to say, they had a blast. (they’re a little large so it may take some time for the animation to start!) and […]

i’ve been really horrible at posting family fridays for the longest time. what a slacker! i thought i’d share a couple photos from this week and all the days the boys have been home with me. this first one is from wednesday when we had no school because of “the blizzard of the decade”. these […]
