The Foster Fam: June 2011
http://azfosterfam.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 13, 2011. Found this cute printable for 50 Things To Do This Summer at one of my favorite sites http:/ www.eighteen25.com/. The kids had fun coming up with the things they wanted to do, see and make this summer. Considering our summer is so short, I'm pretty sure this will take the rest of 2011 to finish. But we're off to a good start. So far we have:. 1 Signed up for the summer reading program. 3 Had a puppet show. 4 Been to Harkins summer movies. 6 Took a cooking class. 7 Saw Judy Moody.

Monday, August 15, 2011. Kate has been counting down the days for AUGUST 15th to get here! Not only was it her first day of Tap Dance class, but she also got to FINALLY start pre-school. She couldn't wait! Luckily she and her best bud, Lauren, are taking the class together! And they sure looked cute! These past 10 years of having little ones at home during the day is coming to an end. I have loved these years and it makes me sad to think that in the blink of an eye, they're almost gone. It's YOUR turn to...

Saturday, April 14, 2012. Hayley's Mystery Dinner Party. When I was a kid, my. Mom threw us the best parties. They were always at the house and filled with creativity. My favorite hands down was a Nitty Gritty dinner she did. I knew I wanted to do one for my daughter once she was old enough. 11 years old is the perfect age! Not sure why it was called a Nitty Gritty dinner though . . . it's really a Mystery Dinner! So we themed the whole evening around Mystery, starting with the invitations. Since the mys...

The Foster Fam: September 2011
http://azfosterfam.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 7, 2011. We had quite a fun June, especially trying to mark off things on our "50 Things We Want to Do This Summer" List. Whenever the kids were bored, I'd tell them to go look at the list. They had fun making pudding pop treats. And sock puppets too:. We scored a great deal on a violin for Hayley. She can't wait to start learning another musical instrument. Kate and Chloe also had swim lessons. Chloe swam all across the pool! They are little fish! Quite the fun filled month! These t...

The Foster Fam: September 2014

Saturday, September 13, 2014. Alaskan Cruise - Days 2 and 3. Our second day was spent at sea. We only got two of these days and quite honestly, I love them! When we were in a port, we'd be running from place to place not wanting to miss anything. It was quite exhausting. So I really enjoyed the days at sea where we could read a good book, listen to the bands play and catch some shows. Speaking of bands, let's talk about this one for a minute. They were my favorite! And then Jody and Thury joined in!

Monday, July 25, 2011. 1st Day of School Traditions! Our summer breaks FLY by since they are only 8 weeks long. But even so, my kids are always excited to go back to school! I set my alarm at 6:30 thinking I would be the first one up and able to get everything ready. Little did I know that Blake had set his alarm for 6:00. All of the kids heard it and by the time I rolled out of bed, they were already dressed, lunches made (except for Chloe's) and backpacks were by the door! I told the kids that I want t...

Friday, April 19, 2013. How is it possible that I have a 12 year old? Not quite sure, but she is sure growing into an amazing and beautiful young woman. I couldn't be prouder. This year she has been playing the piano and the violin. She prefers the violin and begs to quit piano, but I told her she couldn't quit until she can sight read the hymns. I hope she keeps it up! Her best friend is Jillian Harris and I'm so glad they have each other! I love the cute card Chloe made her that said Happy 12th Bday!

Tuesday, December 11, 2012. The Call A Mom Never Wants To Make. 911: 911, What is your emergency? Me: I can't find my son! He ran off to chase our dog, and he hasn't come back. I can't find him anywhere! It was the scariest night of my life. Brent held Webelos at our house so he could help the boys with a wood working project. With all of the kids coming in an out of the house it was bound to happen. Our dog, Sparky, bolted outside as soon as he got the opportunity. WHERE WAS MY SON? It was completely da...

Friday, January 13, 2012. 4 the Record . . . 4 the record, here are some things about you at age 4 . . . 1 You have a love for cereal. Whenever you hear what we are having for breakfast, lunch or dinner, you say "No, I want cereal instead." You could live off of it if I'd let you. 3 You love to play "Old Maybe". Everyone else knows it as Old Maid, but for some reason you always have called it this. And you are so cute when you get the Old Maid - - definitely shows on your face. My legs woke up! 6 You sne...

http://azfosterfam.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 15, 2013. I'll admit it. I love Valentine's Day. It has nothing to do with expecting anything from Brent (in fact this year I told him I'd be mad if he DID buy me a gift - he still came through with a card and chocolates and that was plenty for me! But I love making it a special day to let him and the kids and our friends know that we LOVE them! The Monday before Vday, the kids spent hours making valentines for family and friends. And we tried a new drink - Red Velvet Milkshakes! This wa...
