Snoopy Pants!!

John-Isaac is obsessed with Snoopy.  We really don’t know why it happened.  Snoopy has never been a big part of neither Brian’s nor my family, but for some reason after watching It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown for the first time John-Isaac was hooked.  That year for Christmas my mom got him a huge stuffed Snoopy [...]

Horsin’ Around!

Today our church took the kids to ride horses at the ASU Equine Center.  Layne and John-Isaac were both a little Apprehensive about going at first but warmed up very quickly once we were there.  We walked around the stables and got to pet all of the horses first.  Then the ladies talked to us [...]

Star Spangled Prt 2

The second half of our day has been wonderful.  The skies cleared about 1:00.  We cooked out at my mom’s house and had hot dogs and burgers and of course, topped it off with homemade ice cream.  Then, about 8:00 we headed out to watch fireworks at the fairgrounds.  What is it about lighting fire to something [...]

Star Spangled Sweethearts Prt 1

Well, our 4th of July has started off a little rocky.  We were supposed to have a neighborhood parade starting at 9:30.  We got the wagon decorated and all the kids dressed and ready.  We pulled into the parking lot where it was supposed to start and it started pouring down rain.  We waited about 30 minutes [...]
