As I stated before the temps are starting to creep up, so the kids are looking for ways to cool off. On Friday, Munchkin and her friend decided that they wanted to put a sprinkler under the trampoline for a little fun. The only problem was we realized that we left the sprinkler at our old house. Hmmm…. we grabbed the hose with the sprayer. Underneath the trampoline, we propped up the sprayer with 2 large rocks so it was spraying up onto the bottom of the trampoline. It made for a fun, wet, slippery, crazy place for the girls…

1st Game of the 2010 Baseball Season
Posted in Family, and Military Life
The baseball season has officially begun. We’ve been having practices for the past 2 weeks, but this week was the first game. D is coaching, and I’m helping him out. We also have several other parents that are helping with the team. I’m thrilled with the group of kids on our team, and with the parents who are actively involved. What a huge blessing! This year is a bit different for us. In the past, we played in a HUGE homeschool league. This year, we’re playing in the base league. We have 2 teams, so we’ll be playing the same…
Wupatki National Monument
Posted in Family
While we were camping near the Grand Canyon we decided to take advantage of our location, and we went to see the Wupatki National Monument. You saw a glimpse of the ruins at the monument on my Wordless Wednesday post. One of the really fun things about this National Park area was that you could actually go into many of the different ruins. Some areas were marked with do not enter or do not walk here signs. They tried to have these signs blend with the natural surroundings, so the notices were painted on rocks. Munchkin enjoyed hiking around to…

We decided to take a day trip over to the Sunset Crater National Monument while we were up in Williams (near Grand Canyon) camping. The plan was only to spend a few hours over there, but it ended up being a very long day as a trip took us to more places… We started at the visitor center and picked up Munchkin’s Junior Ranger booklet for her to work on as we made our way through the park. There were several different locations to stop along the way. Our first stop after the visitor center was a hike up a…
Munchkin’s 11th Birthday Party
Posted in Family, Holidays, and Homemaking
Munchkin hasn’t had a big birthday party for herself since she was in kindergarten, so we decided this was a good year to have a big party. Munchkin has been blessed with great friends at this location, so we wanted to take advantage of that before people start moving away. Let me introduce you to Sahara, Munchkin’s birthday camel. Instead of a traditional card from Mommy and Daddy, we gave this to Munchkin. She received her birthday camel as well as her other presents from family prior to us heading to church on Sunday morning. We tried to do most…
