Landsharks

Princess wanted to do a spring sport, but she wasn’t sure she wanted to do soccer again . . . she wanted to take a break from swimming . . . and she was on the fence about volleyball. Quite frankly, I needed her to choose something that wasn’t on Saturday. I knew Hubby was [...]

Wordless Wednesday - My Princess

Easter Brunch

Dude and Princess went shopping for Easter clothes (thanks Grandma Sue!). As you can see, Princess is much more into dressing up for Easter Brunch than Dude is:

 
I must say I’m proud of Dude. He actually went shopping at American Eagle rather than Kohl’s! However, I’m guessing I will probably regret his discovery of mall [...]

April Fools

I always have to laugh because Dude has all these wonderful ideas for April Fools pranks - except, every year he forgets it’s April Fools and doesn’t do his pranks. This year, Hubby and I mentioned the night before, and Dude was still mad because he didn’t have enough time to prepare. I suggested that [...]

13 Days

It’s been a couple weeks since I posted - even longer if you consider that I cheated by reposting my wedding day posts
We’ve been busy here in the land of Boedie!
Swim team is going awesome, and keeping us busy.
My Mom and Step-Dad came to visit us for a long weekend over President’s Day [...]

Tiger Sharks

Princess joined the YMCA Tiger Sharks swim team in January. She loves the water and swimming as much as I do and had learned a lot in the few refresher lessons she’d taken in November and December. Her strongest stroke is the backstroke, followed by freestyle. Butterfly and breastroke need a lot of work yet, [...]

Sledding

We had a couple good days of snowfall over break, which was awesome! One of the days, I loaded up the kiddos, some neighborhood friends, the dog, and the sleds and took them sledding. 6 people, 5 sleds, and a 75-pound lab in a Highlander is quite a sight to see! I love this photo [...]

American Girl

For Princess’s 9th birthday this year, we decided to surprise her with a trip to a store she’s been wanting to go to for - like - EVER! I’ve been avoiding it because it’s expensive. She accepted that the answer would be “no” whenever she asked. She really never asked because she knew it was [...]

They’re All So Pretty!

One of the many many things I love about my Princess is how she sees everything as pretty and wants to make sure whenever she gives something to someone, it’s the perfect “one” for them.
Last week, Princess had written her last thank you for Christmas and birthday gifts to her BFF that lives a ways [...]

Swim Team

Princess had her first swim team practice last night. Swim team at the Y starts on the first Tuesday of each month. They practice twice a week from 5:40-6:30 p.m. and have a meet with the other YMCAs in town on the 3rd Saturday.
She LOVED it! Her new friend, Nayvee, from volleyball is on the [...]
