Radio Flyer Classic Walker Wagon

It’s starting to get warmer in my neck of the woods and we are enjoying every minute of it. As soon as it gets a little warm, our kids break out the scooters, bikes and skates and they love to go on walks in our neighborhood.

I Heart Monkey Joes

That’s right, I said it, I love Monkey Joe’s. Now I know that this kind of place is a nightmare for some parents, but for me, I don’t mind it so much. If I can take my 3 kids to a place where they can run wild and get some much needed energy out, then […]

Getting Family Pictures Taken

Yesterday we had a photographer come out to the place we are all staying and take a ton of pictures of us. My family and I have always gone to a studio to get out picture taken, but I’ve never thought about hiring a photographer to come out to us. It was so much fun!

Sledding Today

We woke up here in Colorado to another fresh snow. It’s coming down good outside which means even more snow for sledding. There is a great hill right around the corner from us that I think we are going to check out.
My kids have not experienced snow like this since we lived in Alaska and […]

There are no posts for Saturday and Sunday because I am currently on the road with my family, but here’s a picture of our family Christmas tree. It’s small and puny, but it’s what we had to settle for this Christmas since we will be gone for 10 days. It still looks pretty at night […]
