Today we decided to take it a bit easier and give our legs a rest. This morning, we drove out to Manassas National Battlefield where the battles of Bull Run took place. It wasn’t anything like Gettysburg, but the history around the place is pretty amazing. The visitor center had a audio presentation that coincided […]
We had a GREAT day today! After having a very satisfying, large breakfast, we drove downtown, found a place to park, and started all of our activities! The first stop we made was to the National Archives. It was really cool to go in there and see the Declaration of Independence, the Bill of Rights,
Today we got up early and went to church in Rootstown, OH. The ward was very small. We added quite the number to it. 🙂 We ended up only staying for Sacrament Meeting, much to the chagrin of the Young Women’s President who thought we were a new move-in family and she just got 3
Today we left for our big spring break trip to Washington DC and Northern Virginia! We have been planning on this for some time and wanted to do something like this before Sarah leaves the house to go to college at the end next summer! 😐 We left at about noon and drove to a
Today was dentist day! All of us (except Kirstyn) herded over to the dentist for our semi-annual cleaning. It was actually kind of funny watching our family “take over” the office! Ben and Zach behaved VERY well while Angela and I got our teeth cleaned! The kids go to a pediatric dentist that is in
Today was an exciting day for Sarah! She went tonight to the Priest/Laurel dance (i.e. Mormon Prom) at the Naperville Stake Center. They had to have tickets and everything. A group of them got together (6 girls and 1 guy) and had a blast. Sarah looked stunning in her formal dress and her hair done
When I came home from work today, Zach had been one busy boy! He had taken part of a big cardboard box and created a laptop with it. He even added Google to the screen! It was really cute and he couldn’t wait to show it to me. He said that he and Ben made
Happy big number 3 Benjamin! 🙂 Ben was so excited this morning when we told him it was his birthday! Yesterday, he went with one of his little friends that was born 1 day before him to Airtastic to have a joint party. They had a blast and loved jumping around on everything and playing
Today was an absolute crazy busy day! Where to start… Sarah had the ACT today and was very nervous about taking it. She has been studying and feels ready but still hates taking tests! She got up early and Angela drove her down to a high school in Plainfield to take the test. She was
Ouch! 42! Today was my birthday, and we had a great dinner of steak on the grill, along with mashed potatoes! 🙂 I then opened my presents and had a great time! Zach made me the most original present. I’m wearing the mask he made in the picture below. It was funny! 🙂 Nice 12th
Today, was a pretty busy day! Angela (with me as her tech crew) started the day off early with a couponing class at the church. She and a friend/sister in the ward presented a class on how to save money through couponing and it was well received. They did a great job and will have
Well, we still can’t get out of our neighborhood so I worked from home and school was canceled again! The snow plow came late in the evening and they did a REALLY bad job of plowing our road. It must be because our neighborhood doesn’t have any Aldermen or School Board members in it! 🙂
