I recently stumbled across a recipe for rainbow pancakes (click here for the recipe).  They looked so yummy and fun, that I had to make them for the kids. The pictures are pretty bad, but the pancakes were soooo good! And of course they don't actually taste different than regularly-colored pancakes, but your mind tricks you into thinking that they are better! :)(Please don't judge me because of

If it's not legos that Jesse's playing with (and leaving everywhere)... it's trains!

We loved the break that we got from the winter weather a few weeks ago...Meredith even got to get her new bike out of the basement and got to ride it around a bit. Unfortunately we are now back to winter weather. :(

We got an awesome dslr camera for Christmas (thank you to Kent's parents & my parents!!!) and we've had so much fun playing with it and taking pictures. Figuring out the focus points... And playing with the aperture... I'm in love with the bright colors... and the crispness (aka the focus) of the pictures... Anyway, we're having fun!

A few weeks ago we celebrated Jesse's 4th birthday. Seriously? I still can't believe he's 4 years old! Seems like just yesterday that we were anxiously awaiting his arrival, but...well, you get the picture. Anyway, his birthday fell on a weekday, and since he had chosen to go bowling for his birthday, we waited until the weekend to go out and celebrate. On the night of his birthday, he got

If you live in southeast Iowa, make sure to stop by 3167 WW Ave., rural Wellman next Saturday between 8 and 3...because it's the Greene Center Market. And it's gonna rock! Greene Center Market is a yard sale/market of items from 6 or 7 households in the Greene Center, Iowa general area. There will be so many fun things for sale: antiques and vintage finds, regular household items, repurposed

In honor of the rainy/overcast/stormy weather that we've been having this weekend, (this summer, really) I thought I'd post pictures from a storm earlier this year. I think this may have been from April. And judging from the dandelions, it had been a while since we mowed. :) Yes, we did go inside shortly after this picture was taken and at the first sight of lightning. I think we maybe just

Well I don't know that I'm actually back to blogging. I mean, I don't want to make any promises that I can't don't keep. And since I've taken such a long break, I feel like my first post has to be really good. Or...interesting, at least.  And where do I start since it's been almost 3 months since I've last posted? Maybe I'll take another few months to figure out what to say. Or type. I'll

Kent was gone last Thursday through Sunday. And we've been having issues with Jesse and him sleeping through the night. As in, he doesn't. Ever. He usually comes over to our bed between midnight and 1. And then spends the rest of the night tossing and turning and kicking and waking us up. I had a particularly rough night with him on Thursday night. As in 2 separate tantrums at 2 different times

Yes, I'm still here. We've had a lot of fun lately playing and working outside. In the past few weeks we have: tilled and planted the garden (I'm sure the guy who was planting across the road had a good laugh at me while tilling. The rototiller basically drives drags me around the garden instead of me driving it!) dug out a new flower bed and then tilled it (hoping to plant some bushes there

It's been a while since I did a little things post. In case you've forgotten, I'm all about the little things in life... ...that make me smile. ...that make me happy. ...that make me laugh. ... or that make my day. Anyway, we recently discovered one of those little things that makes us smile and laugh. Rhythm Kung Fu on Wii Fit Plus. It rocks. And both kids LOVE it. And

We had a free afternoon and evening on Easter Sunday, and just about didn't know what to do with ourselves. Since my parents are now gone to American Samoa for a while and Kent's parents were in Florida (which meant no road trip to Indiana,) we didn't have any big family gathering to go to. So we decided to have a picnic at a park and do a little hiking walking and playing outside. And had

Last week we had a fun evening with my niece, Lauren, and her friend Celia. We decided to enlist Lauren and Celia's help in dying Easter eggs. The problem was that the 12 eggs I had hard boiled were gone in a flash. So we had to resort to dying our regular brown eggs. Not quite as pretty as the white ones, but at least now I can tell which ones are hard boiled and which aren't!

Here are the prerequisite Easter pictures... Jesse was upset that he couldn't help Meredith hold her doll. So he got to hold his new badminton racket and then he was happy. More pictures to come on what we did in the afternoon...

Today is Meredith's 7th birthday. She's 7! I can hardly believe it. As I look back at the following pictures, I'm struck at how 7 seems so young, and yet so old at the same time. Ah, yes. I certainly remember the hours...and hours...and hours of labor that just wouldn't bring Meredith out into the world. So they did a c-section. Certainly wasn't the plan, but of course she was well worth the

Well, it's spring, and we are all LOVING the spring-like weather. Last week it was windy enough that we got to fly some kites in the evening. Jesse had fun chasing the kites and their tails. No matter how high they were! Mike, Zach and Grace had a kite, my dad had one of his kites, and Meredith and Jesse  had their kites. All the kites were in the air together for maybe 5 minutes...

On Saturday we had a bowling party for Jace and Meredith. They both wanted to go bowling for their birthday, and since their birthdays are relatively close together (Jace's is Feb. 15 and Mer's is Mar. 29) it worked well to make it a joint party. It has been many years since I've been bowling. Unless you count Wii bowling. Then it's been only a month or two! I at least hit 100. Barely.

As you can tell, it's been a while since I last posted. We've been in a late winter rut lately. Not much to post about. Our evenings have mostly been spent at home. Playing Monopoly - the family championship version (it goes faster than the regular version). It has taken some adjusting so that Meredith is OK if she doesn't win. We play it enough, though, that she has learned that if she

I've been having fun lately playing around with Photoshop and Illustrator and I made this desktop background with the March calendar on it. Only I'm having problems knowing how to post the file here so that you could (if you wanted to) save the file to your computer and then use it for your own computer desktop background.

So Meredith is in 1st grade. And of course she's been learning to read all year. And she's been doing great at it. About a month ago, Meredith's teacher started putting names up on the "Reading Wall" at Meredith's school. I don't know if it works the same for every class, but for 1st grade, you have a reading score that depends on how many books you read and how well you test on those books

So this morning Jesse colored a picture for me. I left it in the kitchen and went upstairs to change the laundry. He followed me up and asked if I had my picture. I told him that I left it in the kitchen because I'm going to hang it on the refrigerator. So he said he would hang it on the fridge for me. Then he colored a picture for Meredith for the refrigerator. And I was able to see how he "

At least my kids are enjoying the snow that keeps coming!         Jesse doesn't really understand what you aren't really able to do in the snow. Every time he plays in the snow the first thing he asks for is his bike. Which doesn't exactly work in the snow. And playing soccer didn't work so well either!   Meredith had fun shoveling the walks. For about 3 minutes. Then she was done.   King

Meredith has been doing really good lately at getting up when her alarm goes off. She loves it if she can get dressed and ready before we come into her room in the morning. So the other day we had a snow day. I got the message around 5 or 6, and we thought we would all sleep in a bit because we could. Only Meredith didn't know. And she didn't wake us up so we could tell her. And I thought she was

I have an Etsy shop (beachyblossom.etsy.com) with my cousin, Amanda, and since Christmas I've been making things for the shop. We've had the shop since last August, but neither of us have put many things up for sale. Regardless of sales, it's still fun to make this stuff. So here are a few

...but not of the world.I've been thinking a lot about that phrase lately.As I picked up Jesse from his babysitter on Thursday, I was reminded again of being in the world but not of the world. Because Jesse's babysitter is Amish. And this Thursday, his babysitter and her family were running errands in town and we met at his babysitter's mother-in-law's house to get Jesse. As Meredith and Jesse

Jesse celebrated his 3rd birthday on January 19th.And I can hardly believe that my baby is 3 years old. **sniff**Here's a look back at the past 3 years...Meredith was thrilled with her new baby brother.Meredith didn't have school on Monday, so we celebrated Jesse's birthday a day early by going to a movie, playing on the toys in the mall, reading books at the bookstore, and going out to eat.And

The Friday before Christmas we filled our car with people, 2 kinds of popcorn and hot chocolate and took a drive through Iowa City and Coralville looking at lights. I know this first picture isn't very good, but it was all I had of our full car! (Don't you wonder what Jesse was so concerned about with Gretta's face??) :)We started at the house close to West High that has lights that blink in time

Yes, I know it's 2010 already and Christmas is over. But I had some fun pictures that I wanted to share. Even if they are a bit late.We have a bit of a different advent calendar at our house. I hang 24 Christmas socks up on our mantel and Jesse and Meredith get to "open" a sock every day until Christmas. So far they've done pretty good about not peeking in the socks until the day that they can

OK, so I need your help. This weekend we're going to go look at Christmas lights and I need to know good places for lights in the Iowa City/Coralville area.I promised Meredith that some evening we would take hot chocolate and popcorn in our car and go look at lights. I hear of one place that's incredible (as in, you tune your radio to a certain station when you are out front and you hear

So I'm wondering why only hurricanes are named. Anyone know?Because I think I'll start naming storms. I decided it was Blizzard Adeline that caused the snow yesterday and today.So instead of saying, "Hey, do you remember the Ice Storm of 2007?" You would say, "So did you lose power during Ice Storm Hazel?"Do you think it will catch on?? :)Anyway, since I really can't write a post without a

Well, it's official. The calendar might say it's not winter yet, but you need just look out the window and you see that it is here.Yesterday we had our first snow that amounted to anything, and Jesse and I got to play outside. Actually, Jesse played and I finally put up some Christmas lights and garland outside.

I've been working on photo books a lot lately. Seriously. A. Lot.Last week, snapfish had a 50% off photobooks sale and I decided to make a book for Meredith and another one for Jesse for Christmas. Meredith's is full of photo's from her trip to Florida that she took last February. Jesse's is an ABC book full of things that he knows.Each are really cool, but they took forever. Seriously.

When kindergarten ended for the summer, Meredith didn't want to leave school.In fact, there were quite a few tears involved on her last day.And even though she had a fun summer, she was thrilled to go back to school and start first grade.The day came and she was up bright and early. Her bag was packed, complete with the essentials like High School Musical pencils,and a my little pony for good

We've begun a back to school ritual. Well, actually, we've begun an end of summer ritual. For the second year in a row we celebrated the end of summer break by playing at the library and in the fountain at the pedestrian mall in Iowa City. If you were a reader of this blog last year, I shared that Jesse was not a fan of the fountain. Or of that day in particular. But this year was different. Both

Alright.So I've been a bit absent lately (that seems to be a recurring theme this summer...)But as I've said before, I've had a bit of blogger's block.Then I remembered that some of my favorite posts aren't about an event or happening...but are instead just about our daily life.And all the fun we have.

A few weekends ago we had a great time when Jim and Bev (Kent's parents) visited us. My kids have been going through grandparent withdrawal this summer, and it was great to have Jim and Bev here so Meredith and Jesse could get their grandparent fix!For once we didn't really have an agenda for the weekend. Usually our weekends with Jim and Bev are full of ballgames, work projects, birthday parties

A few weeks ago we decided to go camping. This was all decided on, I believe, a Thursday night or Friday morning, and we went on Friday night. So there was a lot of grabbing and dumping into the car when we came home from work on a Friday night ! As we were driving out of the driveway, it started to sprinkle...which meant tears from the back seat because I had previously told Meredith that the

For the 4th of July we went to the Wellman parade. For a small town, the parade is pretty good. It poured in the morning, so they postponed the parade a few hours to allow time for the rain to move through the area. It sprinkled only a little bit by the time the parade started. Because of the rain there weren't nearly as many people lining the street. Which meant more candy for us...which is

So...did you miss me? I hadn't intended to take a 3 week break, but I guess I just got too involved in my summer to take time out to blog. But I'm back now.The IMS baseball team lost in districts, so we have no more baseball games to go to. In spite of the work it takes to go to the games with 2 kids in tow (and all the paraphernalia that goes along with) we were very disappointed that the season

We were so excited to hear of the birth of Kent's niece's daughter, Brianna Nichole Sky, born on July 16th. (Does that make Kent a grand-uncle?)

All summer long Jesse has wanted to "ride" on the tractor mower that they use on the baseball field. I finally arrived at a baseball game early enough to get a good spot that was right by the tractor...and the concession stand. That kept the kids occupied for...oh...at least 2 or 3 innings!

Meredith has had a loose front tooth for a LONG time. Last Thursday night she ate supper and it got really loose.As in, hanging by a thread (gross, I know. It almost hurt me just to look at it! So why not just post a picture on the blog so you can all cringe too?!?)Anyway, she wouldn't let me touch it, but I knew it was just a matter of time.And finally on Friday morning she wiggled and pulled it

How do you beat the heat at a really, really hot ballgame?(88 degrees with a gazillion percent humidity.)Why, you bring your own spray bottle with water!

At the beginning of June we had a great time at vacation Bible school at our church. It was my first year being on the committee that plans Bible school, and wow - what a lot of work that takes! It was fun, but I'm glad it's over and I don't have to think about Bible school again for 6 months or more.Meredith had a great time learning Bible stories, learning about the Holy Spirit, learning new

Gretta recently had a dance recital. We were invited, and I was so excited to go and see Gretta dance. But I will confess that I wasn't too terribly excited about sitting and watching everyone else's performances. However, I totally loved it - and Meredith did too.We got to leave Jesse at home with Kent, which made for a much more relaxed time for me. And it was so much fun to watch the groups -

The other day Meredith hadn't gotten dressed for the day yet, and already she decided it was time to take a nap.So she made herself a bed in the middle of the living room floor.Complete with a picture of her and Jesse, her favorite stuffed animal of the day, a box of Kleenex...and an 8x10 school picture of herself.Too bad I forgot to get a picture of Jesse's bed that he made right beside hers.

Gretta got home from camp tonight. She was only gone one night but she LOVED it! It was rainy, soggy and muddy which for an 8 year old probably made it even better. She knew a few people in her cabin and her counselor but made lots of friends. Camp was always a summer highlight for me despite the bug bites, wet shoes, and long walk to the bathroom in the middle of the night. I'm so grateful to be

So it seems like our lives are filled with ballgames...and ballgames...and more ballgames.Meredith is having a blast in T-ball this year. Her fielding skills are improving every game, and surprisingly she is a pretty good batter. Especially when she brings her own bat. Not sure if it's the actual bat that makes the difference or the confidence that it gives her when she uses it. Whatever it is

Do you remember where you were 25 years ago? To the minute?Unfortunately I do. So does my family. And so do many of the people that live in my community.June 7, 1984 started like the days before. It was hot. And my sister and I had Bible School at church. This was taken on the morning of June 7th. (Don't you love Kristen's glasses? And I'm not sure why we were holding the flowers like they were

Wednesday night Taylor was over for supper and I sent her, Meredith and Jesse out to the garden to pick lettuce for salads. Apparently while they were out there Meredith went missing.Where was she? In my mom's garden picking flowers.And flowers.And more flowers.(Yes, there are 10 little "vases" with flowers in them!)When they came inside, Meredith got all these little glasses out of my china

Well, Meredith is no longer a kindergartener. But Kent assures me that since she hasn't yet started first grade, that she isn't a first grader either.At any rate, she's not in school anymore. And summer break is now in full swing.Yesterday was her last day and although there were no tears, she was definitely sad that she wouldn't see her teacher all summer long.And wouldn't see her 2 best friends

So let's just clear the air right now. I'm not talking about burning bunnies. Let me repeat - no bunnies were harmed in the making of this breakfast!Bunny burner breakfasts are a tradition in our family. My Dad's family made these breakfasts and now our family does. It's a breakfast that you make outside on a tin can. It consists of bacon, an egg, and bread. Oh yeah, and smoke. And burned bits of

On May 17th, my niece, Taylor, graduated from high school. (You may recall that I recently blogged about her graduation party here.)Taylor graduated with 32 other seniors from Iowa Mennonite School. Yes, that's right for everyone reading this who is not from around here - 32 other people! My graduating class was 44 people. Kent's was at least 500, right Kent? As I sat there on the bleachers

We spent the morning of this fine holiday with the family and our bunny burner breakfasts. I'll leave the explanation of the breakfast to Theresa. I opted to bring a family favorite, cherry coffee cake. I've had several requests for the recipe and I'm glad to share it but I've got to give my good friend, Staci Yoder, all the credit for introducing it to us. In fact, I think my family wants to

I think I've mentioned it before but I've become a labeler. My goal is to make it so easy that everyone will know where everything goes - not just me. We've been thinking about selling our house and so I'm trying to get everything in order and be prepared for the challenges of spur of the moment showings. So, thanks to two of my sisters, we were able to accomplish a lot this and now I think we're

Last Friday I had the honor of helping my niece, Taylor, with her graduation party. My sister Beth had to teach school until 2:30 in the afternoon, and the party was that evening, so my other sister Kristen and I rallied at Taylor's house to help get things ready for the party.Plan A was to use a tent in the backyard. People were supposed to walk to the tent via their side yard. Which meant that

Look Mommy - I have a pockek (that's Jesse-speak for pocket.)Oh wait, I have 2 pockek's!(Yes, one "pockek' is just his hand in his pants!)Can you tell how proud he is that he figured this out all by himself?!?Note to self: As much as I love our bright and sunny living room, I've got to remember to take pictures facing away from the windows! I do remember thinking that when I took these pictures

Well, a lot of time has been spent outside lately.We've taken many wagon rides to and from the garden. Which is coming along quite nicely, I think! This row of lettuce and spinach has at least doubled in size from when I took the picture. Last year was the first year that I was in charge of the garden instead of my mom. And I learned a lot. This year I'm doing better at knowing what to plant,

Well, it's been awhile, right?!? We are still computer-less, and since my parents came home from Sweden, we are no longer able to borrow (mooch) a computer from them. So I apologize for not blogging for FOREVER! We hope to get our computer back tonight. Or maybe tomorrow. Or at least this week sometime!Until then, I'm stuck with only an iPod to connect me with the Internet at least when I'm home.

I've been sick since last Friday. And apart from this past year, I don't usually get sick. And when I do, it's just a day or two until I'm back on top of things.But not this time. I have been sick since last Friday, and I just keep thinking that I have to get better soon.I hadn't gone to the doctor because it takes 35-40 minutes to get to the doctor's office, and I would still have to take Jesse.

Saturday night was IMS' banquet. IMS is the local private school that also happens to be my alma mater, and the school where Kent coaches baseball. IMS doesn't have a junior-senior prom, but instead has a banquet. Last year we were in Ohio during banquet, so I didn't get to see my nieces Alyssa or Taylor in all their finery. Since Taylor is a senior this year, I was thrilled to be around to see

Kent is currently in Cincinnati for the week. He left yesterday and will return on Sunday.Last weekend I read about Pioneer Woman making awesome looking pretzels. (Go here to read about it!) And Meredith and I decided that when Kent left for Ohio, we would make yummy pretzels to cheer us up.Yesterday after school we started the recipe, and although both kids were totally distracted by other

So Meredith's Kindergarten teacher has a blog that she updates every so often that you might want to check out. She writes about what they have been studying and also posts pictures. Meredith is even in a few of the pictures.Go to http://wtkdg.edublogs.org/ if you want to check it out.Here's a teaser picture from the blog - Meredith and 2 of her friends are digging for dinosaur bones!

So when we were in Chicago with Kent's family, we went to Buca di Beppo. Buca di Beppo is an awesome family-style Italian restaurant. The food was of course amazing, and we totally stuffed ourselves!Since we were there 2 days before Kent's 32nd birthday, and since we were in Chicago for Jim's 65th birthday, we had to celebrate both birthdays at the restaurant. Yes, they brought 2 lit candelabra's

For Easter weekend we went to Chicago to meet Kent's parents. Kent's dad, Jim, knew that they were meeting us, but he didn't know that all 4 of Kent's siblings and their families were meeting us there also. It was a fun surprise for his 65th birthday.The hotel where we stayed had a large indoor waterpark. The kids had a great time playing in the water, getting splashed by the huge water bucket,

I thought Jesse had a good nap yesterday.I really did.But when Meredith got home from school, he was ready to take another nap.On the stairs! (Of course along with his baby.)Meredith was so sweet - she was totally mothering him! She said prayers with him, read him a book, and sang the ballgame song with him. (Yes, he requests Take Me Out To The Ballgame before every nap and before he goes to bed.

So tell me - how does my house get to be such a wreck in just a few short days?Our week was off because we were still in Chicago on Monday, and that has totally thrown off my cleaning and laundry schedule.
