Welcome to our adventures. I try as best as I can to document the happenings here in our family - everything from the shenanigans to the spiritual, from the kid to the kitchen, from the cat to the catastrophes. We believe that adventure can be found in everything we do...even in the mundane tasks of the day. When we set our minds on things above in gratitude to God, we find the strength to approach life with a sense of purpose & adventure. The adventure may not always be what we have planned...but isn't that what adventure is all about?

Other Stuff We Do

Settle down Billy Joel fans...

Just wanted to give you a quick update on recent Club haps. Last night we had a bon fire in B & M's back yard. It was killing three birds with one stone, really. For one, you have a nice way to burn the branches and leaves from recent pruning events (and your Christmas tree, if you still had it...which we did) While you watch all that burn, you gotcherself a nice toasty fire, perfect for keeping warm AND toasting marshmallows. One word people: S'MORES. It's all about marshin' the mallow. The kids love it. I know Abby does for sure - it's a chance for her to walk around with food all over her face and me not chase her around with a wet wipe.







After the kids went to bed, the adults stayed by the fire and started throwing some really COOL stuff on the fire. Like our 4 month old Christmas tree. OH YEAH. The burn factor was off the hook. I came home with a sunburn on my chest - I'm not kidding you.

On a cooler note...Club Amaro is joining forces with the B & M household to start a HUGE garden. This year, we are doing it in their backyard since none of us know what we're doing - it's better to just screw up one large plot, right? Actually, it should just be more fun all working together. Did I say it's going to be big? Yeah...big. Today, Mike picked up a pile of horse poop in his truck and him & M tilled it into the ground. I've worn out the "crap" jokes 10 times over. We're excited to get going - and I'm sure The Reb will be snapping as we go. Stay tuned...

WELCOME GMM & GPP...as I write this, Grandpapa & Grandmama are on approach in the Sweet Rig. They'll be rolling in any time. They are here for a 10 or so day visit. No telling what kind of shenanigans will turn up... Again, stay tuned.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend...stay out of trouble!

Okay! The title scared me...from experience. My parents have tried to burn their house down now 3 times in the 5 1/2 years they have been in it...not on purpose of course. Yeah for GMM & GPP's visit. Have fun! Good luck on the garden.
