We visited my husband’s brother and family for a quick weekend this past weekend. They have a baby girl who will be three months old all-too-soon! She is super-cuddly and we gave her lots of hugs and cuddles and squeezes. She sleeps all night for her mama and that is always a blessing. 🙂 We […]
We’re Going to the Zoo, Zoo, Zoo….
We got to go to the zoo this past Sunday. It was beautiful weather and to add to the fun, our baby niece and her mom and dad went with us. Pretty sure I took more photos of our niece than I did of the zoo animals. 🙂 She was by far the cutest baby […]
Pumpkin Patch {Hello Monday}
Hello Pumpkin Patch! We love going every year. In a few more years my kiddos will most likely have outgrown the fun at the pumpkin patch. But we still have a few more memory-making times! Grandma and I, Tucker and Renae, and one of Renae’s friends ventured to the patch for a good part of the […]
Kiddos and Cousins and Lots of Fun Times
Today, I’m putting up pictures of some of the fun things my kiddos enjoyed while we were in the east. They played and imagined hard, most of the time we were there. They did get some sleep, though we never seemed to manage to go to bed very early. We spent an evening with my […]
Hello Monday:Ohio Version
Hello Ohio! It was so fun to get to visit in the summertime again. It’s always fun to see the green grass and beautiful flowers. Even though it’s been dry in the east, it looked pretty, thanks to some recent rains. And doing a happy dance that Kansas got some rain while we were away! […]
Jumping Into Another Week:Hello Monday
It’s time to chronicle another week. How they fly! This past week has been quiet with my kiddos gone. Yet, I have enjoyed having time with my man, time to do some organizing and sorting, and time, uninterrupted. I have thoroughly enjoyed the pictures that my mother has texted me of my kiddos doing things that […]
To Be A Mother Is To Forever Have Your Heart Walk Around Outside Your Body
My kiddos went to Ohio yesterday! They haven’t often went by themselves. The opportunity has not offered itself very often. When it did, at the end of last week, my husband said they should take it. And I agreed. We knew there would be grandparents on the other end that would be so, so happy […]
Good Service
Good service can’t be beat. It just can’t. I am all about good customer service! I like friendly cashiers and I like people who smile. I like stores that operate in the framework of wanting to serve the customer. We live sort of in the middle of nowhere and I like that fact, but that also means […]
Kansas Day Trip
I took a Kansas day trip yesterday with my husband. We needed to go to eastern Kansas to pick up our four-wheeler and an irrigation motor. My husband’s very youngest brother is an awesome mechanic and he had been working on/fixing both of these things for us. We didn’t take the most direct route since we had […]
Stepping Out of My Box:(in)RL Meetup
So, I did something way out of my comfort zone this past weekend. And I had so much fun! I went to one of the (in)RL meetups that were the brain child of the women at (in)Courage. There were meetups that happened all across the world. How cool is that! Crystal and Amy, from Money […]
The B-17 Inside
We took a ground tour of the B-17. It was really neat. We got to walk through it and all around it. My kiddos really enjoyed it and walked through it a couple of times! The ball turret was something else. A man climbed into it and was basically laying down with no room to move. […]
Pumpkin Patch Pics
Here’s the rest of the fun we had at The Harvest Farm and Pumpkin Patch! I had a terrible time getting the pictures inserted into my blog post. My format for editing and posting blogs seems to be messing up. It’s frustrating. I love electronics and computer stuff, but I like it to work right! I don’t […]
B-17
Yesterday, we went to Liberal, KS to see a B-17. It was a super-fun day and really awesome to see the B-17. You can go here to see the schedule EAA has for the Flying Fortress tour. It was really amazing to see the design of this aircraft and think about the era it was built […]
Pumpkin Patch
We made it to the pumpkin patch! We had a very fun day! We played, we snacked, we picked out pumpkins, we rode, we petted animals, we played some more. We did it all! My cousin and her kids went with us, so we mamas enjoyed chatting while the kiddos enjoyed playing! We had beautiful weather, […]

Peace Treaty Pageant
Here are pictures of the Peace Treaty Pageant. For pictures of the parade go here. We had a fun day. It was a little warm in the afternoon and a cold drink certainly tasted good. Teepees. Really neat to see, but I’m thankful for my house. Really thankful. Meet and Greet […]
