Indoor Race Track
Thursday, June 21st, 2012Today we purchased 2 thin rolls of masking tape and had some fun. I helped the kids get started with some roads on the livingroom carpet and they just kept on going. Paul was in charge of driving his Finn McMissile all around the town with Mater. Mimi was lining all the other cars up [...]
Swim Lessons

Thrill Seeking Mimi
Tuesday, June 19th, 2012On our recent trip to Disneyland Madeline was determined to show us how brave she was. Any ride that was deemed scary she wanted to ride and prove that she wasn’t terrified. She also wanted to ride every ride she could on her own, again to prove that she didn’t need Mom or Dad. She [...]
A School of Humans?

Big City Girl
Thursday, June 7th, 2012I don’t generally consider myself a big city girl but whenever I am in a small town it is painfully obvious to me. Not that I don’t’ enjoy visiting, but I can tell you without a doubt that I would not ever want to live there full time or retire there. I live in a [...]
4 out of 6 Browns caught their first fish
Thursday, June 7th, 2012On our recent trip to Greer, Arizona Kimberly, Annie, Mimi and Bill caught their first fish! I had always dreamed of teaching the kids to fish, I even put it on my 50 by 50 list. So now #13 is crossed off! I was proud of each of them, including Bill. Annie and Mimi held [...]
