Okay, okay, I’ve made up my mind. (Pretty sure this time.) The stroller of my dreams, the City Select, isn’t getting good reviews in neighborhoods and rough terrain. Major bummer. As we near baby two’s arrival, and JT still loves his stroller, I’m pretty sure that we’re going to need to carry two. So IContinue reading “Stroller Switch”

We spent last weekend visiting JT’s Great Grandma Hall, who lives in Seaside, Oregon. We walked to the beach from her house, flew a kite, played in the sand, ate clams, walked to the park, and lots more. JT also slept in his own full-size bed the whole weekend and did great. We got toContinue reading “Seaside 2010”

So very behind on Flip Clips! Let’s see… I’m slowly teaching JT little chores around the house, as you might have read, like starting the dishwasher and watering the plants. His other chore is feeding the dog. He does a really good job, except when he drops a kibble and then bends over to pickContinue reading “Flip Clip Update!”

We decided to have an impromptu birthday party for Jim’s 31st at our house on Memorial Day. We invited our families and the Skagens (and the Shucks… but they’re still contagious with norovirus so they declined). Even though JT was running a fever (see below), he put up a good front and we all hadContinue reading “Jim’s Birthday”

While we were waiting for the truck’s Line-X spray liner to be finished, we had lunch and playtime at the Super Mall. Through the tunnel Mr. Cool Guy Lounging in the boat JT loves playing in the sink (what kid doesn’t?). The other day I got a few pictures of him playing as I wasContinue reading “Around/Teeth”

We love to go to Long Lake and ski, and we’re trying to go once a week from now until the end of the warm ski season. JT loves going in the boat! Jim recently showed him the hot water shower and how he can spray things with it… here they are testing it out.Continue reading “Long Lake”

I am so behind on blogging… like Jim’s birthday and some great boat pictures and a couple of Flip Clips… but for now I’ll just throw up a couple from today. We went to a few neighborhood garage sales and got some great deals! I got JT a sandbox turtle for $2, a basketball hoopContinue reading “Garage Sale Goodies”

Here we are at week 24 already! My belly measures the same around now as it did with JT at week 28, but weigh almost 10 pounds fewer than with JT at this time. I’m bigger but weigh less. How does that work? 🙂 I’ve decided that I hate strollers. After reading some new reviewsContinue reading “Baby 2 Update”

While we loved our Explorer, the poor thing just wasn’t built to haul around our heavy boat and trailer. If the awful towing gas mileage is any indication of how hard the engine is working, we knew we needed to make a change. Jim has been looking at used trucks for awhile, and he finallyContinue reading “A New [Used] Truck”

With the boys on the mend, they got some quality time together today. Here’s a little look… And here’s what Jim taught JT to do (won’t JT’s preschool teacher love this?). But tilt your head, because it’s a lot of work to rotate this video and I am out of time!
