They don’t quack, but my kids are LUCKY! They just got home from a two-week vacation in MN - one week alone with two sets of grandparents and one week with me and Hubby there.
Lucky to have grandparents that love them and are young enough to have the kids stay with them during the summer [...]

Weekend Recap
I finally took over the domain for my blog. I’ve always been the one who blogged here, but did not own the domain. But now it’s mine - woo hoo! I also switched hosting services . . . the bummer is that I lost some comments due to the timing of a post and the [...]
Frigid and Fun
Two words that describe our weekend
We headed to Breckenridge after school/work on Friday to hang out and play for the weekend. We stayed in Vail Friday night . . . took us 3 hours to get there with the snow and icy roads, but we made it!
Up Saturday to head to Breckenridge for [...]
How Can They Do This?
Nebraska’s safe-haven law is in the news a lot lately. It was drafted with the best of intentions, but was executed very poorly. So far, 34 children have been abandoned at hospitals in Nebraska . . . many in Omaha since it is very close to the border of a number of other states. The [...]
Disney - Day 3
After spending about $300 on park admission each of the first two days, we decided to save our admission money to put toward the therapy Dude will need for his ride on Atlantis. So we hung out at the pool! It was a good choice . . . the weather was perfect, the pool was [...]

Sneak Peek
We’re back! A quick trip, but fun nonetheless. We had a blast!
Here’s a sneak peek at some of the fun we had Dude, obviously, was not impressed with our choice of rides . . . Princess . . . not so much this first time, but she did insist on going on Journey To Atlantis [...]
Amusement Parks and BBQs and Golf, OH MY!
We certainly didn’t waste a minute this weekend!!! We started off Saturday with a bang by meeting a couple other families at a small amusement park in the mountains. It’s called Santa’s Workshop and is obviously Christmas themed. Santa is available year ’round for the kids to tell him what they want! There’s even a [...]
Goodbye Grandma and Grandpa!
Noisy Grandma and Monster Grandpa came to visit us for a whole week - we were so excited and we had a great time! There are so many things to do around here that it’s difficult to choose what we WON’T do when we have visitors. This week we chose to do all of these [...]
