Ryan vs. Dakota
After posting the cartoon of Ryan, both Dakota and Ryan wanted to make another cartoon with Dakota in it. Here’s the final product. Off to the printers to make a poster for their bedroom! 🙂
One and Only Tournament This Summer
It’s time for something other than a quote I suppose. . . . The boys chose to not play baseball this summer, and over all that has probably been a good decision. They were a bit weary of going from one sport to another and having every evening of the summer spent driving to one…
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!!
I’m thankful that we finally got some snow this winter. We were able to go out today and do some sledding!
Sturgill goes on Injured Reserve
For all of those who have been depending on Ryan to boost your points for Fantasy Football this year, you will be dismally disappointed as he was placed on the injured reserve list late last week. As we were relaxing for the evening, we heard an unfamiliar cry. As a parent you know…
What Am I? A Pony Ride?

Fun ‘n Games Until Someone Drowns
It is a real treat for us to go over to some of our friends and go swimming in their in ground pool. It is a beautiful setting with a nice patio and pool side tables. The kids were pretty fearful last year when we went over their. Molly was the only one who really…
Grandma’s Verse Books
Last week we received in the mail a verse workbook for each of the kids. Grandma thought it would be a good idea to give each of the kids (all the nephews and nieces) a verse workbook to work on throughout the summer. We received ours last…
Push It Out, Shove It Out, Way Out
We believe in team spirit in our home. Earlier today you could have heard in the children’s bathroom, “Push it out, shove it out, way out!” Dakota thought that he needed to go poopy, so Linda placed him on the potty to begin the arduous task of going poopy in the potty. At times the…
