I think if you read through all my posts about Oscar over the past two year, you’ll find a recurring theme: Things happen so much faster with the second kid! What happens when you have three kids? Do you blink and they are in college?? So, what is that Oscar-man up to these days? Let’s…

Oscar’s Beach Party
I always say I will NEVER do another party at my house, but this one was actually such a joy! Since Oscar has a summer birthday, I thought we should celebrate with a “beach” party. This was a risky theme considering late June in Texas could mean some sweltering temps. The party gods smiled happily…
Fireballs T-ball
This spring we embarked on a new sport that Walt was especially excited about: t-ball! Walt has been swinging a bat for years, so we were surprised to see that Frisco Baseball Association didn’t start baseball until you are headed into Kindergarten. So, we played this season with McKinney. We properly coerced our soccer coach,…
Walt’s Swim Lessons
This summer, instead of doing the Emler/AquaTots learn-how-to-swim-all-summer-long route, we decided to do a week’s worth of swim lessons with Walt at Ms Erin’s Swim School. Ms. Erin does private group swim lessons out of her house. It’s 30-minutes a day for a whole week. After hearing this, I actually thought Walt would retain more…
Bruns Family Spring Round Up
Since I got so far behind on the blog, I need to lump a few posts into one. I thought I’d run through some fun things we’ve been doing this spring. Group selfie of my sister KK, my mama, Jaelyn and Cassie before we saw Newsies! Jaeyln had a great time! How can you not?…
Chaos Soccer – Spring 2015
It’s been an awfully rainy season, but the boys have really enjoyed their second season playing soccer. I realize they are all only 4 years old, but the improvement from the fall to the spring has been tremendous! We owe a lot of this to our fantastic coach, Coach Tony. He is very encouraging, but…
RoughRiders Baseball
Spring has sprung! But what a wet one it has been. Luckily it’s kept the temps down, but we’re ready for some sunshine! We are also ready for some baseball! Baseball is a sport the entire Bruns’ family can get behind. We absolutely love having a minor league team we can go watch and the…
Allergy Test for Mr. Oscar
Since last October, we’ve been regulars in the doctors’ offices and hospitals with Oscar. He literally could not stay well for more than a week. He wasn’t really alone in that, either. I think I was sick every time he was sick, which is not like me. But, this post isn’t about me 🙂 We…
Chris Retires from Radio
I asked Chris if he wanted to “guest blog” about this milestone, but he diverted to me. This is actually much better because he would be way too humble about this entire experience. Three years ago (almost exactly), Chris made a decision that it was time to transition out of radio and into voice acting….
Cavett-Scarborough Wedding
What a happy day! My college bestie married her lobster! As you might recall, I helped with her amazing engagement scavenger hunt. She and Shawn wasted no time planning a wedding and getting hitched. Can you blame them? This weekend was their gorgeous wedding ceremony at the breathtaking Rancho Loma in west Texas. It was…
