Holly Week – 6/10/2017
This was a week that started off bad and only got better! Danelle was going out of town for a girls 40th birthday party week and that left the kids and I to hang out. After thinking of lots of ideas of what to do with the kids, I decided to visit my sister Holly … Continue reading “Holly Week – 6/10/2017”
Tracey’s Birthday Bash – 6/3/2017
We got the invite to Tracey Semelsberger’s birthday bash. They’re great friends and we didn’t want to miss it! As a bonus, she and her husband Jack are fantastic musicians. Many of their musical friends showed up and had a jam session! And as an extra bonus, I recorded a small portion of the music! … Continue reading “Tracey’s Birthday Bash – 6/3/2017”
Beer at the Warehouse – 6/1/2017
JoJo is fantastic at keeping her friends together. She had a beer making party at the funky warehouse just to get people together (and maybe for beer). It was great to hand out with our friends. I’m not much on microbrew beer and neither is T, so we walked over to the nearby grocery store … Continue reading “Beer at the Warehouse – 6/1/2017”
Bad Haircuts – 5/21/2017
I let myself get talked into a bad haircut again. I didn’t loose a bet, I just wanted a colored mohawk to celebrate summer and the upcoming South Dakota Kayak Challenge. It started off with Sonora pretending to be a cat, and then a turtle… Corvin decided to get his hair cut first. He eagerly … Continue reading “Bad Haircuts – 5/21/2017”
Girl Scout Crossover – 5/12/2017
Sonora crossed over to be an official Girl Scout! Most of the girls in the troop elected to cross over, keeping the troop a good size. Danelle got recognition for being the cookie mom again! And here are all of the girls after the crossover. The party also included a pot luck dinner. It was … Continue reading “Girl Scout Crossover – 5/12/2017”
SLU Grad Student Party – 8/6/2017
In early May, we hosted a gathering of the grad students and post docs working in the lab with Danelle. We started out on the porch, but as for all good parties, the action soon moved to the kitchen. We had a few good rounds of Jenga, taking it to the point that there were … Continue reading “SLU Grad Student Party – 8/6/2017”
Mandy’s Wedding – 4/26/2017
Mandy and Brandon got married today at Dr. Edmund A. Babler Memorial State Park. We were lucky enough to be invited to the ceremony. This park is a decent drive from our house, so I’m not sure we’ve ever been to it before. When we got there, it was drizzling rain and preparing to storm … Continue reading “Mandy’s Wedding – 4/26/2017”
Strawberry Creek Hike – 4/23/2017
Corvin had a soccer game in Arnold in the morning and Danelle was out of town. So I decided to take the kids for a hike at nearby Strawberry Creek Nature Area before his game. The three of us set out and walked about 1/3 of the path in the park. I wanted to hike … Continue reading “Strawberry Creek Hike – 4/23/2017”
New Wiper Motor – 4/22/2017
The wipers on my S-10 truck quit working. I used a multi-meter to identify that there was still power going to the unit. I purchased a replacement unit and realized I had to take the truck further apart than I initially wanted. In the process, I lost track of where the parts were when I … Continue reading “New Wiper Motor – 4/22/2017”
