Guest writer

A blog that I follow called Anglotopia has posted and article and photos about the NFL game in London this last weekend – written by ME!!

It is so exciting, I’m a published guest writer on a professional blog! (Can you see my grin from there?)

This is what they put on Facebook:

And people I don’t even know liked it!

Sorry I’m being lame, but I’m happy.

Life gets busy

We’ve had a lot happen this past year and I have finally gotten a chance to get back to this. I’ve missed it.

I spent the last month sorting, editing, and loading the pictures from the last year so that I can get caught up (my OCD makes it so I have to post them chronologically). But that makes it so anyone who really follows will not miss anything.

So excuse me if I fill anyone’s Google reader with all the posts I will be finishing. Although it might not be too much at a time because my life isn’t getting any less busy anytime soon.

Dog pile

We visited with Grandpa and Grandma this evening.

Solvei and Nels thought it was so much fun that their puppy had her very own toy box. They got out every single toy to look at and then piled them on Grandpa.

Books and Buddies

Solvei likes to read as much as the rest of my kids (I love it). Right now she likes to read “with you” – that is sit next to you while she looks through her book/magazine. Grandpas make the best reading buddies.

And because I was taking pictures Nels want to be a part of it.

Boys outing

This morning the boys went golfing, and Gavin had the best time ever! He told everybody about it at least five times each.

From what he told me, he got to drive the golf cart,

 

he played better than grandpa AND daddy, and he won the game.

Beats the heat

Yesterday we tried to go to my Dad’s neighborhood pool, but it was closed for some unknown reason. Instead we dragged out the kiddie pool and played in that. The kids still thought it was a good way to cool down on a hot Texas afternoon.

We made it!

…last night actually, but the kids are definitely sick of being stuck in the car as you can see today.

On the road again…are we there yet?

In the age of the GPS I don’t actually get that question very much. All my kids know how to look and see if the destination is showing on the screen – if it’s not, we’re not there yet.

Day 4
2065 miles down – 450 miles to go

Hotel living isn’t so bad if it’s a hotel like we stayed at last night.

No more hotels for a little while though, because we get to Grandpa’s tonight.

On the road again

Day 2
840 miles down – 1685 more to go…

We got into the hotel REALLY late last night so we slept in a bit this morning and got started a little later than we wanted. The kids don’t mind though.
