Our Camping Trip

My best memories growing up in Oregon revolve around going camping as a child with my dad, and also, my grandparents. I love everything about it. So when my mom suggested that instead of our usual girls trip to New Orleans over memorial day, we hunt for a cabin in the woods and take the whole family camping instead, I jumped on it. It’s hard for our family of six to travel. We had to give it up for awhile as when we’d travel after Jude’s vaccine injury, he’d regress, have demyelination and various chemical sensitivity reactions. We’ve tried a few small trips within driving distance in the last year and he’s done amazingly well. We haven’t taken the whole […]

I got brave and decided to venture out and take my own kids to frolic in the bluebonnets and capture them. The light was so pretty, all warm and glowing. And they did awesome. It reminded me that I need to take them out for photos together more often. I’ve been seriously slacking in that department, relying on my iphone and Samsung 300nx (which I looooove btw). Life is busy. Jonah is uber busy lol. They were awfully good to me this night. The first photo, is just so them, their personalities embodied. And the last one WILL be big in my house somewhere. […]

Someone is on the move and if you happen to be in the way of where he’s moving, that’s your problem! Ha!

My sweet, lego loving, boy. Right now, he loves “ice cold water”, being up in Jonah’s mug constantly, talking, pestering his sister, snuggles with mommy, talking, all things ninja, spontaneous dance breaks, talking, using his binoculars to look for dragons in the sky, math and reading, volcanoes. I look at him and think “how is he 5?!” He steals my heart daily.

I decided on Earth Day to add a last minute Earth Day lesson to our homeschool day. A quick pinterest search brought me to this. We listed to Jack Johnson’s 3R’s song, talked about how we can reduce, reuse and recycle. We planted our thyme and rosemary plants that came in our Greenling CSA boxes. I felt pretty good about our little last minute lesson for one afternoon. Until yesterday. When I heard Jude in the kitchen, fussing at Jason…..”Daaaaaad, paper towels are bad! Here, let me put that roll in the trash for you…..” Hmmmm. We might need to revisit….

Teagan Jude is my hard worker. He keeps his room clean, he picks up after himself more often than not, he asks for extra chores so he can earn quarters to buy legos. He loves putting money in his jar. I love it when he dresses himself. <3
