A message for the future

Here is an entry for The Naughty Files, just for old times’ sake.

Today I was heading down to our basement to work in my quilting room while the older boys were in school and Jace was napping.  I was snacking on a string cheese stick and at the bottom of the stairs I [...]

Valentimes

Happy birthday, Mom!  Happy birthday to our nephew Jackson!

Happy Valentime’s Day to the rest of us.  Yes, I know it’s really Valentine, but it’s always Valentime in our house.  Just to remind us of how funny it is when people say it wromg.  I mean wrong.  See how easy it is to comfuse n’s [...]

Fish family

In December, I was having a hard time getting the older boys to behave in the car ride to school in the mornings and as a result I implemented a “Gold Stars for Gold Fish” program.  If the boys did a great job getting ready in the morning and behaved their little selves on the [...]

Oh Jett

Since it has been awhile since I’ve written about my kids, here is installment #2 of catching up with the Zeigler boys.

Jett is now 5 1/2 years old.  He is in kindergarten.  He likes school. A little too much, I fear. I don’t know if he’s completely into the learning aspect, but socially speaking, [...]

Reintroducing Jace

Jace turned two in August which makes him… just over two years old.  Math was never my strong suit.  But I do know cute when I see it!

Jace is getting really good at being two years old; the ladies at Fareway could attest to that today.  When we first arrived, he [...]

Sick again

Jude walked into the house after getting home from school yesterday and vomited all over the kitchen floor.  To get caught up on our illness drama click here –> (but I wouldn’t do it without a face mask on).

It does worry me a little bit that all of this is happening after we move [...]

First day of kindergarten and first grade

I’ve been thinking about this day for a long time.  I’ve been eagerly anticipating it and it’s finally here!  Yay Jude & Jett!  Yay me! 

Introducing Jude, the six-year-old FIRST grader:

And now, for the first time ever, please join me in congratulating our five-year-old KINDERGARTNER, Jett:

And not to be [...]

Jace is 2

 

Happy birthday, Jace (Jacey, Jason, Toby, Vegetable Lasagna, et al.)!

Jace is best experienced, but if I had to describe him, I would say:

He is my blondie.

He is a mix of sweetheart and emerging independent.

He doesn’t speak much, but never fails in getting his point across.

He thinks he doesn’t [...]

Father’s Day 2011

Here you have the winner of this Father’s Day photo shoot.  Handsome men, aren’t they?

You’ll never believe it, but Jace was the most uncooperative of them all today.  I know he’s had a reputation here on the blog as being the most docile, easygoing one of the bunch, but let me tell you, [...]

Jude’s 6th birthday

Turning S-I-X is serious business:

Last month we celebrated Jude’s 6th birthday.  His birthday fell within the spring break week at school, so he had the day off, which was quite possibly was the best gift ever!

Also serious business:

Legos.  The sets are getting more complex.  What you’re looking at is Boba [...]
