September 24th, 2010 | by Jessie | I have more I want to share about our recent trip to South Dakota’s beautiful Black Hills region.
We stayed at the same place we stayed two years ago. It’s called Mystery Mountain Resort. I don’t know about you, but when I hear the word resort I think of a tropical getaway, an all-inclusive luxury [...]

Happy birthday, my man.
It’s intimidating to sit down intending to write about you and how much I value you. I nearly stop before I even begin. Nearly. Aren’t you glad? My point is – there is so much to say, so much of it already said, and still more that will bear repeating [...]

September 19th, 2010 | by Jessie | “Getting there is half the fun.” – An Idiot
Our family – extended family – took a really fun trip to the Black Hills over Labor Day weekend. But, I would venture a guess that significantly more than 50% of our fun occurred once we were there.
It’s tricky though, travelling with 3 cars and [...]
September 10th, 2010 | by Jessie | Last week when I went out to eat with some of my girlfriends, Josh – being home alone with the boys – thought it’d be a good night for hair cuts. For all of ‘em. Including the baby.
This was not discussed with me ahead of time.
So, when I was eating and gabbing, [...]
September 10th, 2010 | by Jessie | Happy birthday, Jacob! I hope you have a wonderful day.
You’re 24! I remember when I was 24… barely. I popped out my second kid when I was 24… what have you done lately?
Oh yeah, you’ve been working on your “thesis” for your “masters” in “structural engineering”. Pshhhh. Whateves. I guess that’s cool, [...]
September 8th, 2010 | by Jessie | My kids are so special. I know it, you know it.
I’ve been attempting to foster their growing desire for independence by teaching them to do more things for themselves. Let’s get these guys grown and out of the house already. Not. Or at least to the age they can stay at home by themselves. [...]
September 7th, 2010 | by Jessie | Here, just take a look at a picture I took of Emily with my new phone. My new iPhone. My new iPhone 4. Try not to be distracted by my Grandma Bonnie and her “deciding face”. (Sorry, Gram!)
Yes, I am – not kind of – I AM a big deal. You can tell [...]
September 6th, 2010 | by Jessie | A couple of weeks ago, my family gathered at Smokey Row in Des Moines for two purposes:
1) to celebrate my sister Emily’s birthday, and
2) to listen to our friend Kelly tell about her recent trip to Israel…
- oh ok, three purposes –
3) to eat.
If that doesn’t call for the [...]
