The Steorts Family: June wrap-up
http://kojosteorts.blogspot.com/2015/07/june-wrap-up.html
Wednesday, July 1, 2015. This girl finished up her first season of softball. She learned a lot, including various positions. The outfield can be a pretty uneventful place. We saw the most beautiful rainbow on our way home from Michigan. Our chore charts have returned. We're still fine-tuning a few things but for the most part it's going really well. I took the girls to see this cute movie. We all loved it! I'll give you one guess who knocked over our fishbowl. I was given the assignment to help with a pi...

The Steorts Family: Out of towners
http://kojosteorts.blogspot.com/2015/08/out-of-towners.html
Tuesday, August 4, 2015. We were lucky enough to have my parents and younger brother visit us for a long weekend. Attending the temple open house, soaking up the sunshine, and trying new foods were just a few of the activities we enjoyed while they were here. The state tree in Indiana is the tulip tree. The blossoms were incorporated into the tiniest details throughout the temple: the rugs, the lamps, even the doorknobs. Later we went to the pool. It was the perfect day for it! We're so glad that these t...

The Steorts Family: March 2015
http://kojosteorts.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 31, 2015. A wave of visitors. After each deployment, my brother gets a little bit of time on leave. This time, he chose to come to Indiana. We were all thrilled! The kids could hardly wait to play with him. Uncles are just the best- even if they do bring new weapons at each visit. We met up with Kylie for lunch one day. Unfortunately for Kyle, her friends loved. The rest of my family arrived the very next day. I sure love having a house full of family! Sunday, March 22, 2015. The next day ...

The Steorts Family: May 2015
http://kojosteorts.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 16, 2015. I work out {sort of}. If people saw my workout "routine" they would probably die laughing. For one thing the music is generally turned to a KidsBop station in hopes that my kids would rather dance than interrupt my push ups. And sometimes situps have a tandem thing going on. Then it's on to squats. On second thought, never mind. And then I rush through some lunges while the boy is distracted with some pretzels. I mean, really. It might be time to invest in a gym membership. Our ch...

The Steorts Family: August 2015
http://kojosteorts.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2015. I can't believe this girl is turning FIVE today! She is such a joy and our family just wouldn't be the same without her larger-than-life personality. Here are five things I love about Summer:. 1 She loves everyone, young and old, and everyone loves her right back. 2 Her giggles are contagious. In fact, she gets me into trouble during family prayer on a regular basis. 3 She has an active imagination and can play independently for hours. Love you forever, Summies. We are officially...

The Steorts Family: December 2014
http://kojosteorts.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 29, 2014. We returned from Michigan just in time to begin preparing for Christmas Eve. I spent most of the day making stockings for the family. I tend to screw up even the simplest crafts, so I was thrilled when they all turned out the way I wanted them to! Summer's preschool teachers gave her some reindeer food to spread out on the lawn, which she was more than happy to do. We set out some milk and cookies right next to the girls' Christmas lists so Santa would see them. Actually, the b...

Sunday, August 31, 2014. Summer is 4 years old! We're still trying to figure out how that happened so fast. She's been looking forward to this particular birthday since. December. She's had her outfit, activity, and treat planned out since then. {I'll write more about all that on Monday}. Until then, here are four things that I LOVE. 3 She wears her emotions on her sleeve. You always know where you stand with Summer! 4 Her affection knows no bounds. She loves everybody. Happy birthday, beautiful girl.

The Steorts Family: April 2015
http://kojosteorts.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 22, 2015. Some days I feel like I'm raising monkeys rather than children because they climb on everything. Every last one of them. The little one is the worst. He recently learned how to climb on the counter. And not just the kitchen counter, mind you, but the bar height counter that is practically a ledge. How appropriate that he rewarded his efforts with a handful of Smarties. I think we'll be spending a lot of time at parks this summer so he can climb to his little heart's content.

The Steorts Family: January 2015
http://kojosteorts.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 26, 2015. I was a little slow to jump on the New Year's resolutions bandwagon this year. The truth is, I've been struggling. I feel.average. Worse, actually. I worry that I'm not very good at much of anything. The other night I attended a game night with some girl friends and I wasn't exactly winning. I declared, "You know what? I'm good at other things." My friend looked at me with a straight face and asked, "Like what? I couldn't come up with an answer! So as I sat down to write a few g...
