Hello. This is Stan. He went to live with the Zinn family this past Sunday. Who are the Zinns, you say? Dixie Zinn was my Mia Maid instructor/advisor (?) for me when I was in Young Women. She was an awesome leader, and a wonderful friend to me. She listened to me, laughed with me, and is a great example of a mother and wife. I remember calling her … [Read more...]

Today the kids came over to do school at my house since my mom is off galavanting in New York City for the weekend. No biggie. Back to that later. We did play some educational games (Friday is their "fun" day, wish I had a fun day back in the schooling days), and did some baking and sewing on top of that! How funnnn! Our sewing project was a … [Read more...]

Pardon Payton please, she's quite perplexed about something in this picture. hehe! Gage too for that matter. Sadie's recently had her first Cheerio...she's had those cereal … [Read more...]
Our day
March 19, 2009 By 2 Comments
The weather today was soo nice! We just had to get out for a long walk on the levee. Sadie even left her hat on. (most of the time) We enjoyed the sunshine and cool breeze, and saw lots of squirrel and quails. There was lots of rustling in the brush that my overactive imagination was a bit wary of. haha. I remembered to put sunscreen on! Both of … [Read more...]

Today was sunny...but pretty cold! There was a chilly wind a blowin'. Still, when Sadie woke up from her afternoon nap screaming I knew I had to distract her with any means necessary. So we headed to the park, which seemed to do the trick! She decided that leaning forward and giving herself a front diaper wedgie seemed like the most fun, and hey, … [Read more...]
