Sports Time

To give you an idea of what life in my family is like… Munchkin had a fastpitch double header today. I sent her a text earlier to see if the games had been canceled due to rain. Her response was that the games were still on but she’d be late because she had a midterm. [...]

Family Reunion Photos

As promised, here are some pics from the reunion. Good times! Glad it’s over, but good times!

It’s a Wrap

If you have been around me for any length in time in the last three months or so, you have heard me talk (or vent) about planning my family reunion. For those of you not in the loop, my local family of eight hosted our bi-annual family reunion this past weekend. Every two years, all [...]

Fox Girls in the Post-Season

Both Munchkin’s and Rugrat’s teams made their respective post-seasons. Yay! On Friday, I was able to make Munchkin’s first game down in Portland and get back up north for Rugrat’s early evening game. Bro and SIL had the same idea, even stopped a the Nike outlet on the way back up, too. Sadly, Munchkin’s team [...]

Scene of the “Crime”

I had another amazing weekend, but I’ll have to give you a full recap tomorrow or Wednesday. Right now I have to tell you (as my Mom put it) the Tale of the Tail. Last night my mom and I returned home from a day trip to Centralia to find Kane super excited to see [...]

Sunday Brunch

This past weekend I had a last minute Sunday Brunch. Mom was coming up to see Jordyn’s voleyball game and I thought it would be fun if she could see all the kids. Thank goodness Sunday mornings are usually free! With less than 14 hours notice, I had a houseful (very full for my house): [...]

It Was a Good Run

Rugrat’s high school bball team made it to the State tourney this year. They had a good run but lost in the second round, so no Tacoma Dome play for them with the new format. I’m looking forward to next year and am hoping for great things from the team. They’re only graduating one senior, [...]

Oh, Canadaaaa

In December, Munchkin and I had a conversation that went like this: Munchkin: Auntie, do you remember when I was like, 12, and you told me that when I turned 19 you’d take me to Canada? Me: Yep, I remember. Munchkin: Well, I turn 19 next month. Me: Well then I guess we’re going to [...]

Date Night with an 11-Year Old

When Isaac was born, I told L that we could go out and do something fun, his choice. Immediately he asked, “Can we go to Gameworks?” I said, “Of course” as any good bonus auntie would. However, with the impending holidays and his weekends with his dad, I we had a hard time working out [...]

Munchkin & Rugrat

I found these fox beanies on Etsy for the girls (and me) for Christmas. I love that they get the goofy!
