  It was so nice over the weekend that we decided to take the boys hiking. J's idea really. If you know me...I don't do "outdoorsy" hobbies much. Unless it's an outside shopping center. But sometimes (and only sometimes) I will agree to do boy things with my boys. Hiking is boy-ish to me.

P Man's babysitter went to college this year. It was a sad day for us...as we absolutely adored the way she watched our kids. It's hard to replace a good babysitter! But, we are proud of her for graduating and moving on to college. Just a little upset that college meant she was moving so far away.

  J was coaxed by his friend Tom in to running the Urbanathlon in Chicago. If you know my husband...he is "superfit" (literally that is what his nickname is), but he doesn't run...EVER. He is a crossfitter. Crossfit and running...two totally different things. The urbanathlon is a 9 mile

  For just a brief moment this past weekend...I felt like I was in college again. And I quickly remembered how much FUN I had in college. I danced for 4 years on the college dance team and we were known as the "Saluki Shakers". Each year during Homecoming, they ask all of the Shaker

My littlest man turned 9 months old today! He is still SUCH a happy baby. And a WONDERFUL sleeper. 6:00 pm to 6:00 am = AMAZING! He has eight teeth. Is crawling everywhere. But still no words. I'm DYING for him to say "mama".

Friday night my hubby decided (at 6:00 pm) that he wanted to have a bonfire. Seems like a good idea right? Especially with the beautiful fall weather. Right? Except we don't own a fire pit. So, even though we had plans to attend a football game at 7:00...hubby insisted we take a family trip to

Usually P Man is the one making everyone in this house laugh. He's a comic. Not this time. This time someone else was making Bents laugh. Except I swear the person making the awkward burping noises in the background was not me. Ahem. Such a boy already. Not only does he find
