Our second day in Las Vegas was my birthday and we had a busy day planned. We wanted to see the Jabbawockeez while were in Vegas so we made a plan that I’d head down to the half price ticket counter when they opened and see what I could get. I arrived twenty minutes before […]

Since the first year of being friends and living in the same house I’ve planned a joint birthday extravaganza with Kerry, whose birthday is one day after mine. The highlight of these joint birthdays was a house party where we decided we had reached cool status because people came to the party we didn’t know. […]

Thank you for the wonderful visit Auntie Jeanie, Uncle Curtis, Baby Nora, Grandma and Grandpa!  We had four full days for hanging out with family and now it’s back to “real” life.  Thank you for the visit we’ll miss you so much!  It was chaotic at times but so fun to see the three cousins […]

Last weekend we had Kerry and Zandra over for a beach boys vacation weekend. Our plans were to hang out and not do a whole lot other than keep the boys buys, spend an afternoon at the beach and get them to bed exhausted enough to sleep through our fun.  We made the trek out […]

Last Friday was the wedding for a long time Job’s Daughters friend and when we received an invite to their celebration I knew we had to make the trek. The wedding was near Yakima so it was the first time the boys went over the pass. Luckily the weather was gorgeous and the roads were […]

By Friday afternoon I’ll be in sunny California with my sister, bro-in-law and new little niece for an extended weekend visit. That means for a handful of days I’ll be away from my Graham and Miles. I’ve only had one other time away from them in two years and it was a quick overnighter.  I’m […]

Our final day in Kauai was a race against the clock. We had to pack and still wanted to fit in two beaches we hadn’t spent time on yet. We rose as early as we could (which was still pretty late by most standards) and ate breakfast in the room while we packed our bags. […]

Friday was our last full day on the island. We were up and packing lunch early so we could get started on our full day of plans. The first thing we had on our list was to check out the secret lava pools that are talked about in The Ultimate Kauai Guidebook. We made our […]
