Our friend, Tim, brought his two boys down from Washington during their spring break. My boys knew his youngest son from a previous visit, but had yet to meet the older son. The second they met, it was like they had known each other for years. There was never a silent moment during the ride […]

The Sacramento area police departments teamed together to raise funds for the Special Olympics.

Sigh. My baby is 7….bittersweet 🙂 We have a tradition where the birthday boy gets to pick out whatever they want for breakfast. ‘R’ chose Lucky Charms, Cheesy Eggs, Sausage, and Cherry Yogurt… We had a friend of the boys stay with us for the weekend, and we made sure it was a fun time […]
