Our Wii has been getting a lot of use lately.  First, with Epic Mickey, one of Tom’s Christmas presents.  We all fell in love with the game and enjoyed watching him play it for a few weeks.  Now that he’s completed it (which Sage is very sad about), Wii Fit is back...

It’s hard to believe that Molly turned 3 today.  Molly has been so excited about her birthday and the day was finally here!  We had planned to have her party today at Tom’s restaurant, but had to postpone it because he has the stomach flu.  Fortunately, Molly doesn’t...

As the new year begins, so does my attempt to blog and scrapbook . . . both at the same time.  My goal is to blog about our life as a famliy this year, and then to print it in scrapbook form.  So to start off, we are in birthday mode as Molly's 3rd birthday is on...

We are in the middle of sharing Tom's parents vacation with them up here on Lake Morton.  Then rented a house on the lake for 2 weeks and have graciously allowed us to stay with them.  5 of the 6 kids are in the bunk house (and suprisingly sleeping pretty well).  It's...

On Saturday we headed out to Mt. Rainier . . . without the camera.  It ended up being a horrible experience and we were ready to trade the kids in (not really, but if you're a parent, you can just visualize in your head what the day was like without me saying anything...

For the 4th of July, we went over to a friend's house for a BBQ.  We were introduced to a few new games that we loved and were able to do a few fireworks.  (As well as watch the millions going off at the houses around us.)  Then at about 10:10, we watched the...
