My Baby Girl is 15

Posted in Family

Where did all the time go? It’s hard to believe that my baby girl is already 15. Since she enjoys painting pottery, I thought it would be fun to start our day by heading over to a local art studio that we wanted to visit. Daddy was at work, so Munchkin and I had fun painting pottery together. We finished up shortly before I received a call from Daddy letting me know he was ready to meet up for lunch. We headed over to Joshua Tree National Park for a picnic lunch. Since it was such a beautiful day, we…

Working with the Horses

Posted in Family

Munchkin has really stepped up recently and started not only training her horse, Dixie, but also working with Phantom when Daddy or I can’t work with him. She’s always been great with Dixie, but seeing the transformation with Phantom has been fun to watch. She’s really playful with him which he loves as he’s an inquisitive and playful horse. Of course, there is one issue with Munchkin working with Phantom. Dixie gets a bit jealous that she’s not receiving all of Munchkin’s attention which means she tends to follow them all over the arena trying to get Munchkin’s attention. Now…

The Scenic Route: Joshua Tree National Park

Posted in Family, and Outdoor Adventures

We were heading down the hill to get some groceries and see a movie, but we decided that we would take an off the beaten path route instead of the traditional highway route. We put on our hiking boots and brought our camelbaks “just in case”. Daddy did a quick check on his truck to make sure everything looked good, and we hit the road. Our normal drive, while still pretty, takes us on paved roads and highways. This alternate route took us through Joshua Tree National Park and down some “4-wheel-drive-only” dirt roads. We drove a few popular climbing…

Book Review: Critical Condition by Richard Mabry

Posted in Reviews

Special thanks to Thomas Nelson for providing an advanced reader electronic copy of this to help facilitate the writing of this review. Critical Condition Book Description: Dr. Frasier couldn’t save the gunshot victim on her front lawn. Now she’s fighting for her own life. It began as a quiet dinner party honoring Dr. Shannon Frasier’s colleague, but became a nightmare when a man was shot on her lawn, reviving emotions from a similar episode a decade ago. Then a midnight call from her sister, Megan, causes Shannon to fear that her sister is on drugs again. Her “almost-fiancé” Dr. Mark…

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Coloring and Activity Pages

Posted in Commercial Break

Captain America: The Winter Soldier comes out in theaters across the country today, Friday, April 4, 2014. Our family really enjoyed the first Captain America, and we’re looking forward to seeing this second installment. While we had the opportunity to see a sneak peak of the movie on base, we ended up not seeing it due to it only being in 3D which doesn’t work so well for either Munchkin or D. We’re waiting to see if D’s schedule will allow us to go see the movie this weekend. In honor of the theater release, I’m happy to share these…
