Uncle Dick

Its been a stressful week, I’m not going to lie. A special uncle went through open heart surgery on Monday.  We spent most of the day clamouring for any news. And by noon, we knew that he had pulled through and was doing great.  By the next day, he was up and eating. Dick is …

Piano Man

The boy specifically requested piano lessons earlier this winter. I know, mommy about fell over…but the boy seems hell bent on become a rock start. And all good rock stars play piano.. So last Friday, the boy sat down for his first official lesson. And I have to say, it seemed to go okay.  At …

Wild Weather

March has definitely come in as a Lion.  We started the week in the 60s which meant plenty of outside time And with all my heart, I was hoping that spring was near. I mean, the flowers are very close to popping through and the birds are chirping. But alas, winter is trying to get …

Breaking

Zachary has only once before broken wood, but he has never done a routine.  But that has all changed ladies, the boy took a class and is now a skilled board breaker.  Scary, I know. He actually did three breaks…and successfully did on his first attempt .  The best part he got the broken wood …

Kindness Matters

Last week, Zachary’s school celebrated a week of kindness matters. I love this message and am glad it is driven home at a young age. We like to tell the boy, to whom much is given, much is expected.  And by that we mean giving back. Zachary spent his week saying hello to strangers, opening …

Birthday Weekend

Last weekend, we celebrated three big birthdays:  Great Grandmom, Pop Pop and daddy. Three special people who mean the world to the little guy. The day started with breakfast being made for daddy.  The little guy couldn’t wait for daddy to open his gifts.  Why, you may ask?  Because one of them was daddy/son golf …

Random Thoughts

How can it be that in one week we have a blast of cold, Artic winds to a spring like warm up?  That pretty much sums up our week. It’s freezing today and Miss Mattie has found her warm spot But this weekend looks glorious.  There has even been a blue bird siting, holler! The …

Karate Kid

This weekend, Zachary will be competing in another Tang Soo Tournament. So the week has been busy with form and weapon practice. Who knew that you would have to move furniture to practice the bow firm, but that’s exactly what we have been doing. He just finished learning the form, but wants to give it …

Monopoly

Last weekend, the grandparents came over to watch Zachary play basketball.  That always means a lot to him, knowing they are in the stands. But more important to him, they came over to the house. Why, you may ask?  Because that means games will be played and fun will ensue.  And last weekend held true …

Story telling

The little guy has become quiet the story teller.  Lately, he comes home from school with one after another.  But I must say, his latest is pretty cool. It came complete with an action packed picture, including a red eruptioning volcano. But he also has a softer side: We just love hearing his wonderful stories. …
