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…

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…

Time to get caught up…

Posted in Family

This week will be a week of catch up on my blog.  I have several reviews that need to be posted.  I need to post more Grand Canyon pictures.  Munchkin’s birthday pictures will go up.  I have a winner to announce.  I need to try to make it around to several blogs this week as I’m very far behind on my reading.  I need to respond to comments…  You get the idea.  We’ve had so much fun the last two weeks with the Grand Canyon and then all of the party preparations, but it kept us very busy (fun busy). …
