My son, Garrett, was sitting in the backseat as we drove along. we had just seen a friend whose mom just died. Somehow the subject of raising the dead came up and he said, “wouldn’t it be nice if we could raise the dead like Jesus? If we could then Aunt Ruth, [...]

If you are coaching baseball and one of your guys gets hit in the head, it would be great to check in on them. But if they get hit in the mouth a short 10 minutes later and they decide to go talk to their mom, it’s still ok to go check on them but [...]

if you get all excited about being able to tape a movie and watch it later, when your wife asks what movie it is she isn’t asking who’s in it and when it was made, she’s asking if you’re interested in her watching it with her.

For months Jeff has been reminding me what a hard time this school year would be. All.three.boys.in.school!! He used to say he’d take the whole week off of work to spend it with me because I’ll be sad and have a hard time. I told him not to be silly and that I’ll be fine [...]
Net Nanny caught my site

I wondered why net nanny’s warning came up when I logged into my site today. Come to find out people have been led here through some pretty personal words. I think I better stop writing about how Evan uses “potty” talk. I don’t want to need the p.o.r.n. warning to come up when people visit [...]

If I would sit here every night typing about the day then I wouldn’t have so much to catch up on.
We got a “new” vehicle. Our van had about 120,000 miles on it and was still going strong but the air condition was temperamental. That was fine though because the boys and I didn’t mind [...]

when Garrett grows up he says, “I’m moving to Texas so I can have a pet monkey”
Connor is “going to have 5 schnauzer dogs”
and Evan is “going to have frogs”
But Connor and Evan don’t have to move because “you can have dogs and frogs as pets anywhere”
lemonade stand

so Connor, who is 9, decided to make money yesterday. He asked if he could have a lemonade stand. I tried to talk him out of it by reminding him if he unloaded the dishwasher he’d get an easy dollar. IT didn’t work. He had his mind set. so we made lemonade, took the plastic [...]
feeling

I have a sinking feeling something isn’t right. The boys and I are all fine so I don’t know where it’s coming from.
As we were driving home yesterday we did see a crash right in front of us. I saw the smoke and the car flipped on the side of the road but Connor and [...]
