City on Our Knees

Posted in Christian Life, and Reviews

City on our Knees by TobyMac Song Lyrics If you gotta start somewhere why not here If you gotta start sometime why not now If we gotta start somewhere I say here If we gotta start sometime I say now Through the fog there is hope in the distance From cathedrals to third world missions Love will fall to the earth like a crashing wave Tonight’s the night For the sinners and the saints Two worlds collide in a beautiful display It’s all up tonight When we step across the line We can sail across the sea To a city…

Having Fun with Lego Creationary

Posted in Reviews

Munchkin and D are huge Lego fans.  We have bins of Legos and Lego trains for Christmas.  When we heard that Lego had come out with Lego games, well, there was much excitement in the house to say the least.  A game that you could build out of Legos?  They felt this was very cool.  Players even build their own die.  Munchkin and D looked at several of the games, but couldn’t decide which one they would like to try out. Shortly after looking at the Lego games at a local store, I was contacted by Timberdoodle to see if…

Get Out and Play!

Posted in Family, and Reviews

It’s finally getting cooler outside, and that means that everyone here in the desert will be spending more time outdoors.  While it’s always important to get fresh air and exercise, it’s much easier when the temperatures fall below 100 degrees.  The cooler months mean more bike riding, scooters, running and playing, bouncing on the trampoline, and hiking and exploring. More outdoor play also leads to more dirty laundry.  Depending on the daily activities, Munchkin can go through several outfits during the day.  Playing in the mud or rolling in the grass can mean stains on the clothes, but Shout doesn’t…

Fun before the Goodbye

Posted in Family

Today, we had to say goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa.  D decided to take Grandpa for a spin in the side-by-side before they left.  Then, Grandpa took Grandma for a spin.  Of course, we couldn’t let the opportunity to snap a few pictures pass by, so we took a few pictures in the RZR. It was a tearful goodbye, but we all are very grateful for the time that we were able to spend together.  The house seems much quieter now that our special guests are gone.
