I am a wife, mommy, and ER doctor, sometimes all at once and sometimes one at a time.
While driving with Leighton earlier today we were talking about how to say “thank you”. His preschool class has been learning basic Spanish. The conversation went a little like this- “Mommy I know how to speak Spanish” “Oh, really?” “Yes, I say, “Gracias” and that means thank you in Spanish” “That’s right Leighton” “Yeah, […]
MoreBeing a mom, I’m not real sure what the fascination is between boys and bugs. I like to look at lady bugs and I love watching butterflies flitter across my garden and I always get excited if I get to see a praying mantis, but bugs are bugs, and even then they are creepy crawlies. […]
MoreWhen people think of Colorado, rain is not usually their first thought. Snow, sunshine, mountains usually come to mind. I think that’s because most years we are lucky to get 15 inches of rain, usually we average around 12. Last week we got 17 inches, most of it in one day. Needless to say the […]

[an-nyeong] [ha-se-yo] Unless you can read Korean, I reccommend going […]
MoreIf you have ever been to a Home Depot on the first Saturday of the month then you have probably noticed the kids workshop that they put on. It’s organized chaos really. The concept is great, design a craft that kids can build/construct, and give the kit to kids with their own Home Depot Apron […]
MoreWe don’t watch much TV at our house. Very little in fact. We watch the Bronco games, often we record it and fast forward through most of it. And then Clint and I will watch Master Chef and Biggest Loser, but other than occasionally (like once every two weeks) turning on the news while getting […]
