Last night after reading for a bit, we settled in as a family to watch Extreme Makeover-Home Edition. We love this show because within an hour we get to hear a story of hardship, learn about hundreds of people who volunteer to help and then in the end watch everyone cry tears of joy over […]

Earlier today I took Dallas out for his birthday lunch to one of his favorite restaurants…Red Robin. We ate a lot of French fries, played multiple games at the table and we ended the meal with a birthday song and an Ice Cream Sundae. When it comes to birthdays, we love to take a few […]
Since the weather has been warming up, I seem to have caught “Spring Fever.” As a result of this fever, a few days ago, I loaded up my bike and went for a ride on the trails at Swope Park. The temperature was beautiful, the birds and squirrels were busy moving around and the trail […]
On Wednesday, the three boys and I were driving back from their basketball games. We were reviewing the highlights of the games….which unfortunately didn’t take long :). The conversation moved on to the next part of our evening…plenty of chit chat about everything from snacks to homework. We were stopped at a stoplight and talking […]

Since all five of our kids play competitive soccer, we end up going to a lot of games. I have never stopped to calculate how many, but I’m pretty sure if I did, the number would be four digits (1,000’s :)). While at the games, I’ve observed many different fans…loud and dumb (can’t think of […]
The fact that the Kansas City Chiefs are in the super bowl is awesome for Kansas City. I have noticed that simply wearing any sort of Chiefs memorabilia instantly makes friends. Anywhere from the grocery store to the gas station, simply saying, “Go Chiefs” to someone in red makes me smile from ear to ear. […]
A few days ago our family experienced an extreme injustice…a parking ticket in front of our house. Here is the story… The city is doing work in the alley behind our house. There is dirt everywhere, they have torn up our yard and to make matters worse we can’t even get to our garage. So […]
