We tried out our new Christmas toys on a stroll/ride/bike/scoot around the block. . It was Pandemonium! (Maybe not totally, but close) Preston, my cautious one, was too scared of falling to ride his scooter (razor) so he walked it instead. Don’t be fooled by this picture. He was scooting uphill at this point, which […]

Germs-The Vet
Germ post #4. If you need to throw up catch up, read #1 here, #2 here, and #3 here. Sorry! . I mentioned a few days ago that Lilly Katherine licks everything.

The tapes are very … [Read more...] about Germs, Germs, My Invisible Dog

Preston was home from school Monday, so we spent the morning at the ZOO! We haven't been in so long, and he has always loved our wonderful zoo. This was the first time AnnaLeigh was really old enough to enjoy it. We weren't there long, but we ran into LOTS of friends! Brad took a few hours off work and joined us, which was an extra special treat to the maniacs! . As I … [Read more...] about Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!
