My Blog about stuff – family, sports, travel, and cooking.
My blog is almost like my journal. I keep track of my kids’ various activities, from Taekwondo to Soccer to Band. I also spend time writing about our various travels, whether to family or one of the many soccer events we attend. You might also find a good recipe, or two!
We’ve moved from Marching Band season to Concert Band season. There’s a lot that goes into it. Practices. Competitions. Late nights. Early mornings. But Devin had a pretty successful concert band season. Though he only made the Symphonic Band (instead of the Wind Symphony), he shined…
We do a lot of traveling for Devin’s soccer. Crew games, ID camps, ODP. We’ve been many places. Recently, we had a chance to go to Las Vegas for the Vegas Cup. The Crew ’06 team, filled with tons of younger kids, made the trek in January in hopes of scoring some goals. We didn’t…
It’s time to introduce you to two new members of our family. On a whim, we decided to adopt two Basset Hounds. Meet Mac and Ruby. Ruby was almost a year and a half and Mac just turned a year when we got them. And let me tell you, it was love at first site!…
There is always so much turkey left over after Thanksgiving and Christmas. We do our usual turkey sandwich and the occasional enchiladas. But this year, we decided to try something different. And boy, let me tell you. This recipe is a game-changer. We will not only be doing this again after the…
Another year is nearly over. We’ve had some challenges but it’s been a good year. Let’s celebrate with some friends, family, good food, and presents! Christmas is my favorite season. It’s a little wild…ok, a lot wild. But it’s so much fun cooking and getting…
I was sitting in my chair waiting for a soccer game to start. One of Devin’s many games. I’ve been realizing so many times lately how these types of games will be ending soon. His dreams are taking him away from here. Whether that’s in Europe, MLS, or somewhere else, we won’t be watching him…
Marching Band season was a complete whirlwind this year. Invitational performance at Deer Creek, marching contest at Mustang, state marching contest in Broken Arrow, ending with a stellar performance at BOA. Let’s take a look! High School Football Games Deer Creek Invitational, Mustang Competition…
I played sports in High School. Well, I ran track. 100 meter hurdles, 300 meter hurdles, and the mile relay. Those were my main events. Ran the 400 meter hurdles in college. Ok, it’s kind of a me-type sport. But, the points count toward the team points so we’ll consider it a team sport! I…
We love potato soup! It’s a staple for Fall and Winter here in Oklahoma. It’s rich and creamy and fills you up. Loaded potato soup is the perfect comfort food!…
