In celebration of having my first thirteen year old in the house, I baked Corvin a special cake. Unfortunately for him, I don’t have very good baking skills… But he enjoyed it anyway! With his main cake baked, it was time to have more fun. I also baked two “smash” cakes. These are the cakes … Continue reading “Corvin Turns 13 – 10/9/2016”
It was another month of unicycles for me! Corvin was in full swing of outdoor soccer. He played a game on the main field at the soccer park off Soccer Park road in Fenton. Its a 5500 seat stadium, so it was really cool. Grandparents Henry and Carol even came out to watch. Afterwords, Corvin … Continue reading “September – 2016”
Corvin and I decided to do a longer bike/unicycle ride. Okay, I decided and he wanted to come with me. I wanted to ride the Creve Coeur connector trail. This trail connects Creve Coeur Lake trail system with the nearby Katy Trail. The path goes between the lake and the Katy Trail following highway 364/Page … Continue reading “Creve Coeur Connector – 9/25/2016”
Last year about this time, I lent my brother Herman my truck. I didn’t know how long he would have it, but I was willing to help him out of a bind. About a year later, he got his own truck and didn’t need mine anymore. I was quite excited to pick it up. Instead, … Continue reading “Dad Returns Truck – 9/17/2016”
It was time for the kids to get their eyes checked. I’ve started taking them to America’s Best due to the price. You can get two pairs of glasses for about the same cost as one of the fancy places. While I’m not a fan of getting more stuff as its wasteful, the kids tend … Continue reading “Two Pairs – 9/7/2016”
The kids and I went to the City Museum. Sonora and I had never been on the roof before, so we went straight up to check it out. Lots of climbing and the Ferris wheel were in store for us! Hogan Haake
We’ve decided to put up a picnic type shelter at Waterfall. We figure we’re more likely to go out and visit if we have a home base out there that is ready and waiting for us to use. The first step of this process is to go out and lay the foundation. The plan is … Continue reading “Piers at Waterfall – 9/3/2016”
a Lots of unicycle riding this month. Hogan Haake
I do lots of paddling, but I don’t often include my family. In fact, I think this might be the only time this year I’ve taken the kids out in the boats. Its hard to get them to agree on doing anything together. But Danelle needed to study, and that meant getting the three of … Continue reading “Paddling With Kids – 8/26/2016”
We went to Eckert’s Family Farms to pick peaches. They were nearing the end of the season and it sounded like a nice family activity. If nothing else, the kids enjoy the tractor ride out to the picking area. When they dropped us off, we started looking around and found the trees empty of fruit. … Continue reading “Picking Peaches – 8/21/2016”
