Wednesday, April 11, 2012. This was our first Easter in our new home. It was a nice, quiet, relaxing day. We have fond memories of our Des Moines Easter- our whole street would celebrate together. It was much quieter this year, but still nice. Thursday, April 05, 2012. T-Ball, Season 1. Harrison was thrilled to begin his baseball career as a Pirate.

The Mons Family: March 2013
http://monsfamily.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 31, 2013. Epic bike ride to Chilis. The kids and I have been biking every week to condition ourselves for the big ride. Our goal: Make it to Chili's for dessert over Spring Break. We did it without one complaint! It was a hilly ride, but the kids did great. We even invited a some friends who decided to just meet us there. Thank heavens they did, because I left my money at home and needed someone to pick up our tab. Oops! Snuggle time with Lizzy. Friday, March 29, 2013. Sunday, March 24, 2013.

The Mons Family: February 2012
http://monsfamily.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 28, 2012. Logan Basketball 2012 Champs! The players were plenty tough and competitive and our coach was outstanding. It worked out for Tyler to assist. Man is he hot in a huddle! As point guard, Logan specializes in reading the court. He knows just when to drive it or make the pass for the assist. He is truly entertaining to watch. We are often approached after games from kind folks who also enjoy watching him in action. Rick Barry was an aggressive player who would use any means necess...

Wednesday, October 24, 2012. We Have Some "New"-s. At her friend, Reagan's baptism). Wednesday, October 17, 2012. If You Can't Beat Them, Join Them. Well, one little thing I forgot to consider. Let me just put it this way:. It was at my first Room Mom meeting that it became clear to me that I needed to Raise My Standards. I was out of my league. While in the thick of planning our Valentine's Day. Party, I forgot where I was for a moment and threw out the suggestion that "we just keep it simple.". Althoug...

The Mons Family: January 2013

Tuesday, January 22, 2013. Every time I go to any activity at the school, I feel such gratitude that I am able to be there for these moments. It is so fun to peek into their world at school and see all the great things they are a part of. Monday, January 14, 2013. His birthday fell on a Saturday, so we spent a majority of our day at games. He spent the afternoon "hanging out" with friends, playing football, and outdoor games. We usually keep gifts pretty simple for birthdays. It is mostly about celeb...

Sunday, September 16, 2012. Good to Be Back. In So Many Ways. I had a very uplifting weekend where I feel like I found myself again for a moment and decided that even though I am discouraged that I have fallen behind in recording family history, I just need to pick up where I left off and keep going.

Sunday, December 25, 2011. Christmas was fantastic. A few highlights:. A quiet Christmas Eve Dinner. Making Cookies for Santa. A few things I learned this year:. 1 I don't need to plan 500 activities and traditions. After hyperventilating about the gazillion ideas on pinterest (anyone else do this? I decided that simplicity was the only answer for me. We chose about 3 things to do over the season and enjoyed the rest of it relaxing and playing. The activities we did do were special and meaningful. 2 Watc...

The Mons Family: May 2013
http://monsfamily.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 20, 2013. Jake's First Visit Alone for Dinner. I sent the letter last night, and obsessively checked my email all day today. By lunch time, I still hadn’t received a response. Tyler and I had a lot of housework and projects to keep us busy. It was about 2:00 when we were cleaning our garage, I glanced down the street and saw a grandmother pushing a baby in the stroller. I knew right away that it was him. I whisper yelled to Tyler in the garage that “I see them, I see them! He deserves a family.
