State Fair 2013

Our State Fair got some bad press this year, but that didn’t stop us from having a great time. Luckily we went a few days before the Vortex malfunction made national news, in fact, JJ and I both commented when we went past the ride that that was not one we would ever consider riding…

Fall days

Since it seems that fall is going to be short-lived – we have apparently skipped right from the late summer days of mid 70s to winter days of the 40s (coming up this week) – I might just be able to collapse all my fall days posts into one. The kids have enjoyed playing outside,…

Herrman family picnic

Last weekend we had our annual family picnic at Haganstone park. We couldn’t have asked for better weather, better food or better company. It was GG and Gdaddy Herrman, Aunt Stacy and Scott, Uncle Dave and the fam. I am most excited about some of the photos of my favorite boys below. There are some…

Pumpkin patch fieldtrip 2013

Well it’s 1:19 AM, according to my computer clock (12:19 per my hotel clock), and I find myself in Austin, TX again for the second time in three weeks. This is very atypical for me and even odder still that I find myself traveling to Austin three times in one year when there is an…

Daddy’s little girl

It doesn’t get any cuter than this. And yes, it was just coincidence that they are both wearing yellow.

Catch up #2 – Soccer kicks off

Cailee is still in the smallest age group but she is working her way up through the program so she’s no longer the smallest kid in the group. She’s got a great coach this season – he pushes these kids. He is really teaching them soccer vs. just letting them run around. At first I…

Catch-up #1 – Aunt Beth comes to visit

Before our trip to Disney and right after, it’s been pretty nuts at work – trying to get ahead and trying to catchup. This is always the downside of taking a week off – things just keep going while you are out. But that doesn’t mean that we didn’t squeeze in some fun activities during…

Disney – Day six

Phew, I made it. Didn’t think I was ever going to get around to writing up all these blog posts. Day six was potentially our busiest to date. We knew it was the last day so I know we were trying to make the most of it. We headed to Epcot this morning. There really…
