Daria’s Life

On the way home from Nathan’s parents home tonight the interchange between Brigs and Joshua was truly hilarious to me. I love driving with my kids because some of their funniest moments happen when they’re chattering away in the car.
This was the conversation on the way home:
Joshua- “Oh wow! Look a police man! I [...]

If you haven’t had the opportunity to be adored by your son, I highly recommend it!!

I got a call from Joshy’s school yesterday that my poor little man had thrown-up on the bus ride to school. My heart just sank thinking about how he told me he didn’t want to go to school and wasn’t “all better”. I thought he was just trying to avoid going and I sent him [...]

A hilarious little conversation happened in the van today between myself and 5 year old Joshua. All of a sudden he pipes up from the back seat “Mom, tell me what is your secret?” I giggled to myself assuming he must have heard that question somewhere. I answered joking “well Joshy, my secret is “THE [...]

Last night I was shocked to find out the trust level that Brigs has in his bigger brother Joshua. Though the two are mearly 13 months apart, Joshua is quite a bit bigger and stronger than Brigs. The point was made even clearer last night when Brigs dropped his favorite little lizard toy [...]

Those of you with grown or older children can probably appreciate the constant struggle of getting your kids off to their school each day.

The past few weeks I’ve been struggling, coping and freaking out over the fact that I somehow have an inner ear infection and my world is literally spinning 24/7! Vertigo is not a
plesant thing to deal with and though I try to stay positive and get up when I can, it’s been hard to do [...]

For my children today HAPPINESS means having a HELL of alot of Tide laundry detergent and throwing it, rolling in it, pouring it into boxes…onto fabric…into every crevice of the basement. Perfect for sliding in when you run through from the other side of the room. Oh and it smells like lemons too! For me [...]

Joshy loves to count. Recently he’s decided that he can count far past 10 and goes up into the teens. It sounds something like this…
“ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, satan, satan, satan” - yes my son can’t say 14, 15, 16 so he just says Satan for those numbers. Can’t wait till church on Sunday, hope
they [...]

This weekend was Dylan’s first big Basketball Tournament ever, he’s never played on a team until this year but he’s done so well. His coach has been really fabulous and supportive of him and the team is awesome. He finally caught the FEVER on Friday nights game. We all went to cheer the team to [...]
