Today was a day I had envisioned since the day I found out we were having a boy (let alone two). My sisters and I are not delicate flowers, but we also weren’t in the ER all the time (unless you count asthma visits, and, don’t worry, we are already gold card members of that…

Every year, the boys’ school puts on a great holiday program.  The kids sing holiday favorites, while the teachers and parents mouth the words and mimic the dance moves in the audience. This year was no different. We had an outdoor performance at the Villages of Fairview, which was a nice change of scenery from…

With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas full steam ahead, I wanted to recap all the fun things we did this fall. I’ve blogged about a lot of amazing highlights like Vegas and Napa, but lots of other little stuff occurred and I don’t want to miss those memories. Like my other seasonal recaps, we’ll do…

Turns out, we’ve spent a lot of hours and minutes in the air this year. Between my job, which sends me to California about once a month, and just a lot of travel opportunities, we were on the go much of 2015. So, when I realized my company’s user conference was in downtown San Francisco…

We had another fun year of trick or treating.  I’m still thankful that the boys aren’t into scary costumes, but apparently they are stuck on super heroes. I guess I should be happy by this.  My only rule was they had to be different super heroes than last year. We have such an incredible neighborhood….

Fall is in the air and here we go, off to the Yamboree.  It was another fun year at the annual Yamboree in Gilmer.  Yet again, I double booked myself this weekend and had to leave after the parade to attend a Taylor Swift concert (is there always a concert this weekend??). But, before I…

October usually proves to be a super awesome weather month in North Texas.  We try to get outside as much as possible, when it’s not raining. (This year seems to be especially wet!)  I didn’t want to miss a good opportunity to visit a pumpkin patch, so that’s where we headed early Sunday morning. This…

Sports, sports, and more sports! A couple of weeks ago we started our second t-ball season (right after we started soccer). This season we switched from city of McKinney to Frisco. We were lucky enough to maintain a good portion of our spring team. The boys were really good! Call me biased, but I really…

Here we go again with another fun season of sports. This fall, Walt is playing soccer and tball again.  If you ask him, his favorite is whichever one he is playing at the moment. The kid just loves to play outside and throw or kick a ball. We’ve seen great improvement in these boys from…
