We celebrated Nash’s 9th birthday with his favorite activity. We had very melty pizookie instead of cake. The boys love to mix around the letters on the letter board. A few days later, I took Nash on his Disney date. We met up with our cute friends who were in…
Nash had the very important role of Egret #3 in the second grade musical, Once Upon a Lily Pad. Second graders sure are cute. Of course I made Nash pose in his egret costume (and too small baseball pants). Meanwhile, Finn rolled down the grassy hill over and over. Crew…
Blake and Nash both had big nights one Wednesday so Troy and I had to divide and conquer. Nash had a Blue and Gold Banquet for scouts which typically involves a cake contest. But this year, they decided to simplify and have a cookie contest instead. We made homemade Oreos…
Nash had a beautiful, simple baptism service. Nash’s friends, Reese and Elle, sang “He Lives and He Loves Me,” one of our favorite songs. Nash had a crowd of friends there to support him. And of course, lots of extended family. Nash’s grandma gave a wonderful talk about baptism. We…

Nash always has a solid idea on what he wants to dress up as for Halloween and it usually involves some sort of fantasy character. This year he chose to be Link from The Legend of Zelda. I had no idea who that was but we looked it up and…
Tomorrow is opening day for Little League and as I sat outside watching Crew’s t-ball practice last night, I was reminded how much I love baseball season. There’s just something about being a part of Little League in a small town. We run into friends and neighbors on the fields….
Spring seems to be the time of year when a lot of extra events are going on at school. Nash performed in a darling play. It was everything you’d expect from a first grade play; a little corny and a little sweet. Nash’s class took a field trip to the…
