Ambrose Back To School Picnic 2014
My little boy finally enters school. I am of course conflicted. He’s so little and I love him so much as he is, I really would love for him to always be my little tiny ball of energy and excitement. At the same time though, I’m thrilled to see his huge amount of brilliance and…

Camping At Whoop-Em-Up
My friend Mark and I needed to get out of town and enjoy God’s creation with our kids. We planned on doing this for a while, but still were ill prepared for some of it. We rode up together in my Durango. It seated us all fine, but when you figure in the food, clothes,…

Hot Rods and Motorcycles
Travis and I went out to the 31st Annual Mustang and Ford show in Kleiner Park this morning. First though, we made a quick stop at the Yamaha shop on Fairview. Such a fun day with my boy. Tons of chrome and polished paint and shiny powerhouses. One of the things that really makes me…

Ambrose Spring Music Festival 2014
It wasn’t a fancy program, but the kids came at it with excitement and pride anyway. Really, they were just showing some of the things they had been learning in class about music, but I love that even very young, they get them used to speaking and performing in front of others.

She has been swimming for 3 or 4 years now. Until now though, it was for fun and safety. Now she is drawn into the SPORT of swimming. At her age and level, it’s still all about fun, not really competition, but I know how it starts. First she’ll win a few ribbons for participating,…

A Classmate’s Birthday Party At The Farm
Elizabeth was invited to a classmate’s birthday party at the Willows Edge Farm out in Kuna on Saturday. What a fun party idea. The girls got to ride a horse, pet the cows and sheep, and learn a little about the farm and the animals. They also did a little bit of face painting and…
