http://homesweetkolkman.blogspot.com/2012/03/bowling-is-fun-tastic.html

Tuesday, March 6, 2012. In effort to try and spice up the fun this winter, Rob and I took Ava bowling for her first time! We went with our neighbors the Barksdales and the Arnoldinks. A good time was had by all and I am sure we will be back again. Here is our Bowling Queen. I love her shoes! Rob showed her how to roll the ball under-dog style. Kaylie helped her using the ball-stand. The kids had lots of Bowling Alley Snacks. Here is Kris, Angie, me. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Overdue posts on Ch...

Home Sweet Kolkman: January 2012

http://homesweetkolkman.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html

Tuesday, January 31, 2012. Time for a New Year. I have been MIA from this site for a couple months and it seems so much has happened that I don't really know where to begin. I guess I will start out by saying. "Happy New Year! First up. The Christmas season was full of magic this year with Ava! Second. Rob and I celebrated our anniversary this month. Number 6 but who is counting. We had a simple celebration to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse downtown. More to come later. SIMPLE. It's because I would need to ...

Home Sweet Kolkman: December 2010

http://homesweetkolkman.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html

Friday, December 10, 2010. There are a few things in life you can't do if your basement is finished. Ava has enjoyed going outside every day over the summer and fall months and now that it's cold it's not as much fun. She hasn't gotten the concept that it is crucial to keep your mittens on when it's freezing out. Drama! My happy country girl. Going "weeeeee-weeeee" inside is the best! Oh Ava. you have a way about you that makes everyone giggle. Your expression is PRICELESS! Links to this post. The number...

Home Sweet Kolkman: September 2010

http://homesweetkolkman.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Monday, September 27, 2010. Walk to Remember 2009. Walk to Remember October 7, 2009. This is the building in the park used for registration and fellowship pre-ceremony. Last year there was even a fire going to keep everyone toasty warm before the kick off. There are tons of picnic tables set up and refreshments available for families. This is a great place to meet people who share your journey through grief, talk about your baby, and share your story. Memorial Tent set and ready. Rob and I pre-ceremony.

Wednesday, February 22, 2012. This was the card Ava made for Rob and I at daycare. very well done! Generally, Valentine's Day is really just another day here at Home Sweet Kolkman.

Here are our cut up crayons in the heart tray. Then I melted them in the oven at 275 Degrees for 15 minutes. Since Ava was busy making Val...

Home Sweet Kolkman: October 2010

http://homesweetkolkman.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html

Saturday, October 30, 2010. I know I am always bragging Rob up and talking about what a good cook he is so it's time to share on of my favorite recipes he makes. Here is his fabulous homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. I assure you Campbell's has nothing on him! The ingredients are surprisingly simple but each bowl is full of flavor. This Home Sweet Kolkman fall favorite is a bit of a process but it's worth every bite! Rob's Chicken Noodle Soup. Approx. enough water to cover your poultry. 1 bag of celery.

Home Sweet Kolkman: Todd's T-Shirt Quilt

http://homesweetkolkman.blogspot.com/2012/03/todds-t-shirt-quilt.html

Tuesday, March 6, 2012. As part of my 2012 goals to make something for each of my family members I created a quilt for my brother, Todd's, birthday. It was a big hit and now everyone would like one. I guess I will be busy for the rest of the cold months making quilts filled with flannel for the one's I love. As they say, a family stitched together with love seldom unravels! Then I made T-Shirt/Flannel sandwiches and stitched each one with an "X.". Then I sewed all thirty shirts together. Pleased and Surp...

Saturday, March 10, 2012. Saturday afternoon our whole group which included the Barksdales, Kooistras, Arnoldinks, and Huysers made it to Great Wolf Lodge with a pack of wild kids ready to swim. Here is a view of all of water park. Ava loved sliding down on her tummy. The GWL staff blew the whistle on her several times for violating the rules and not going down on her butt! She had fun swimming in the kiddy wadding pool. She had to tuck Dora in bed because she was tired from swimming all day! As part of ...
