Spencer, the Consistent Tattle-Tale

Spencer has displayed to us that he has an afinity to justice.  He is quick to share with us the wrong doings of all those in our home.  Often my initial response is to do nothing because his tattle-taling bothers me.  Often though I have to deal with it to some degree.  We can’t just…

We Don’t Need No Training Wheels!

Today, Linda and the kids came over to church for the Ladies Bible Study, and then I joined them for lunch in our fellowship hall.  A few days ago Pastor Church brought over this little bike and thought that our kids might enjoy playing with it, so this afternoon during bible study and during lunch…

By Popular Demand

  It was difficult, but we were able to find Ann-Marie and get a picture of her outfit that matched Molly.  I would have thought the Girl Scouts would not want their PR Rep dressing in such a cavalier manner, but I suppose if you are attempting to appeal to little kids, this may be…

When Molly Dresses Herself

We have often been told that children as they grow older need to begin making decisions for themselves.  One of those areas of decision making is dress.  We believe Molly has grown enough to make wise decisions concerning her dress so this morning she was able to dress herself.  Apparently she still needs her mother’s help…

I wonder where he gets it?

Ryan walked up to me today with a rather large smile on his face and my glasses setting on his nose.  I don’t think he meant to put them on upside down but the effect was priceless. I do realize that most parents think they have the cutest kids and that’s good for them.  They…

A VodPod Addition to the blog

I have as of last week figured out how to add the VodPod to our blog.  The VodPod is on the side bar below the other hyperlinks.  On it you can see the many videos that we take of our family.  If they are not to terribly exciting we won’t have a specific blog for…

Grandma’s 90th Birthday!

We had the great joy of celebrating the 90th birthday of our grandmother this weekend.  She turned 9o.  On the way there I asked her if she was excited about her party, and she asked, “Should I be?  I’ll probably know less when I come home than I do now.”  Well alright then.  I really…

Edwards Apple Orchard

 We were able to go to Rockford over the last few days for my grandmother’s 90th birthday.  We drove out Thursday night and were able to stay with Ann-Marie and Brett Thursday and Friday night.  Friday we took the kids to Edwards Apple Orchard and enjoyed the playground, barn animals, horse and trailer ride and…

We Love Driving in the Van?

We love riding in the van.  We were able to go to Great Grandma Rehfeldt’s birthday party today in Rockford, Ill.  It was a long trip back, but we are finally home.  We will share some pictures in the days to follow.  Even though it may look like it, I didn’t ask them to scream…
