So I guess flying 24 hours from Chennai to Green Bay wasn’t enough. We thought we’d strap the kids in seats for another 24 hours or so and drive the minivan out to Utah. The trip there went well and we were able to spend a fun 36 hours at a Krehbiel family reunion in Erie, [...]
No I did NOT spell that wrong by accident. As you can see my Sunday morning attempt to create a nice surprise for Shane when we got home from church was one “h” short ( he missed seeing it initially anyway in the shuffle of herding children into the house). Of course I found that [...]
Ella has now reached 5 years of age. She had a couple small celebrations with old friends in Green Bay and of with family over the last few days. The various activities included a sleep over, t-shirt decorating, cup cake making, a movie, a ton of cake, and of course presents.
Ella seamed to enjoy being the center of [...]
Josh, Greg and I set out mid-morning on Friday for a two day trip on the Bay of Green Bay. Day one was foggy. It rained for a while and the reports threatened us with thunderstorms, but it was always warm with favorable winds so we pushed on.
Day two was clear with a decent wind coming out [...]
Its been a busy last month or so for us. From Beaver Cabin fun to Arches National Park for Youth Conference to Arizona with the Carlsons we have been busy. Needless to say the backyard project has been on hold for a while. Enjoy some pics of what we have been up to.
TRIP TO ARCHES NATIONAL PARK
Hike up to Delicate Arch
The last day we went on a bunch of random hikes. We saw several large arches and rock formations. These individual pictures are much more impressive but this post would take forever to scroll through if I didn’t combine images.
I finally decided to use my blog! I figure I need to do a better job at keeping the family updated on what is going on in my life. I’ll post some pictures of Alaska soon.
Emma adores her Daddy, or Gene as Emma sometimes calls him. Emma loves when he makes her fly, (that is what she calls it when he throws her in the air and catches her). Daddy is the best at reading stories, it is never the same twice, he loves to make up silly new stories everytime he reads a book. He is the language teacher, he practices with Emma everytime she asks for something to get her to ask in complete sentences. My favorite thing Daddy does is take Emma to breakfast at McDonald’s every Saturday for a breakfast burrito. Emma loves it, she knows it is coming and runs to the door, and I get to sleep in. Emma also loves to play outside and watch Daddy mow the lawn, and go on trips to Lowe’s, where he always makes sure she gets her favorite cart. He always makes sure life is fun. We love you Daddy, Happy Father’s Day!
Ahhhh, back to the U.S. So far we’ve enjoyed friends, family, Target, and Red Robin… you know, all the important stuff.
On the way here we had the opportunity to stay over in Brussels for three nights. We thought it would be a fun little excursion, as well as help with the jet lag. It did [...]
Today I heard a beautiful song while I was visiting another ward’s Primary. I thought I would share the words since they teach what I feel is pure doctrine on the value of families and God’s love. Try to imagine 20 children ages 3-8 singing this with all their hearts. You can find this song [...]
She had gotten the Nesquick open and had taken a nice tablespoon full. Despite her tearing eyes and outward disgust she continued to eat the Nesquick, she even licked the counter after I took the spoon away. You sure wouldn’t think she was enjoying it by the look on her face.
Have you ever wondered how to get your kids to eat the peas, or perhaps that salad? Maybe your kids turn up their noses to radishes and any tasty herb you might add to a soup or salad. Maybe you have children that won’t even eat something green. I have the answer to solve all [...]
I put some pictures up of our trip to Bryce Canyon and Cedar Breaks. Enjoy!
