A Day after the Day!

Took the family to Mesquite for a little getaway following Sunday services.  We haven’t been major vacation people, not sure why, but we do quick jaunts, and still create memories as a family.  I will never regret spending money to create lasting memories. We stayed at Highland Estates in Mesquite.  Absolutely the best bang for [...]

Mom's & Boy's

I called my mom yesterday, and wished her a happy M-day.  I almost forgot & that would’ve made today very bad!!:0  Not really, but I did almost forget.  I do love my Mom & thank God for her nurturing, insight, love, cooking:), etc…. and for sticking with my Dad when the going got tough.  I [...]

A Parenting Tip

I heard this today, and thought I would share it with you! It’s easy to focus on how far children need to go instead of how far they’ve come. One way to keep a positive focus in your discipline is to look for approximately right behavior and affirm it. Don’t wait until things are absolutely [...]

Fear Factor

Tell me that above picture wouldn’t make your child end-up on a couch somewhere at 35 years old.  If not, he would at least buy stock in “Depends!” Lately the “Fear Factor” bug has hit our house.  Not sure why?  I remember having certain fears growing up.  Fear that mom and dad wouldn’t come home.  [...]

Christmas Memories & New Traditions

Gabe At The Dentist

Yesterday it was absolutely hilarious as I took my son Gabe to the dentist.   Can’t say I remotely looked forward to it.  I can’t even say I like the dentist.  It’s a child-hood thing I guess. Man have the days changed for going to the dentist as a kid.    My dental office was cold & [...]

Coaching My Daughter

I’m feeling very old, but at the same time passionate about the continuing spiritual growth of my children.  I believe it’s one of my God given mandates to disciple and train up my children in the way they should go. Have you heard that somewhere before?  Boy, what a tough deal considering the culture we [...]

Mt. Charleston

Went for a walk this morning with Angel. It was a nice, and we decided that since we’re waiting on the closure of our house, and since we are taking a staycation instead of a vacation, we decided that we were going to go up to Mt. Charleston and make a day of it.  We [...]

Home!

Well, we closed on our house today.  Very excited!  We hope to have keys on Friday.  Now the fun begins! We will give our lease agent 30 days notice, and we’ll begin moving everything over to our new home.  Once we get everything moved out, the cleaning & painting begins on the rental.   Yes, we [...]
