Baseball and Birthday Party

Posted in Family, and Military Life

We woke to a warm, windy day.  The trees were swaying to and fro.  Dust devils swirled around.  The sun’s heat baked the red dirt on the baseball field.  The soft billowy breeze gave some reprieve from the heat of the sun beating down on the players and fans.  Shade was scarce.  Water was dearly needed.  The teams battled back and forth to the very end.  Hands were shaken.  Congrats were given.  More than one person walked away a little pink or red and feeling rather parched. The cool ac welcomed us home.  The icy water refreshed our parched lips. …

Family Movie Night: Secrets of the Mountain

Posted in Family, and Reviews

We enjoy having family movie nights at our house.  It’s fun to sit down as a family and watch a great movie.  All too often lately movies seem to contain at least some material that we would prefer to avoid.  I had heard great things about Secrets of the Mountain, so I was optimistic when we received it to watch. I liked that Walmart had partnered with Proctor & Gamble to produce a family friendly movie.  The great news is that this isn’t a one time partnership.  They are going to be producing a series of family friendly movies. The…

Why is it so hot in here?

Posted in Family, and Military Life

We chose to go this route as we’ll already be getting a team picture for Munchkin.  I was happy that they offered this option to him. After pictures, it was time to head over to the baseball field for the game.  It was warm, but not as hot as last week.  The players were…

My Mother’s Day 2010

Posted in Family, and Holidays

While Munchkin and D show me appreciation for the things I do every day, they make a special effort on Mother’s Day to make the day great for me.  In get spoiled with extra attention and little gifts from Munchkin.  This year, this picked out this huge singing card that was hilarious!!  In addition to the card, Munchkin arranged these flowers for me from a bouquet from the store.  I think she did a great job. We spent most of the day just relaxing and spending time together as a family.  To me, that is a wonderful way to spend…

Wish I was Riding…

Posted in Family

Poor D.  He’s going through dirt bike withdraw due to my ankle injury.  We go out most weekends after Munchkin’s game, but we haven’t been out for 2 weekends in a row.  The weather is getting hot, so our days out will be much fewer.  He just wants to go out and ride.  As he was picking up the groceries with Munchkin today, I’m sure that he was thinking, “I wish I was out riding…”
