Beyond Mommy: June 2013
http://beyondmommy.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. I'm a huge fan of "adventure" races; I think it's much more fun than just running on the road. My sister Diana and I did the Rugged Maniac 5k at Portland International Raceway together. First we must get our "outfits" on. August is lookin' good! I'm so grateful my parents came along - Dad watched my kids and Mom took lots of pictures! Ready to get RUGGED! Diana navigating the uphill barbed wire crawl. This fall&#...

Beyond Mommy: July 2013
http://beyondmommy.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Saturday, July 13, 2013. My brother Bryan and I had so much fun on the "FlowRider" at Maverick's in Sunriver. This is a surfing simulator. While I can't say we are ready to catch a tube in the ocean, it was a unique experience and I definitely recommend it! The bottom 2 photos show the lifeguard demonstrating how to surf the fake wave. Looks pretty easy! This is the first picture I took of Bryan:. Bryan demonstrates the whole process:.

Beyond Mommy: Wheeeeee...?
http://beyondmommy.blogspot.com/2013/07/wheeeeee.html
I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Wednesday, July 10, 2013. Does anyone else think this inflatable slide is in very poor taste? It is a real. Turning one of the world's tragedies into party entertainment? Why is this more acceptable than a Sandy Hook Dodgeball Obstacle or Twin Tower Bungee Jump? Yeah, that is.not OK. I realize its a difficult line to define but this definitely comes down on the wrong side of it. July 11, 2013 at 1:33 AM. View my complete profile.

Beyond Mommy: September 2012
http://beyondmommy.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Last Sunday we hosted a Welcome and Blessing Ceremony for our dear baby August. It was the kind of event that left me beaming with joy for the rest of the day! The wonderful people who came to celebrate with us, the love that filled the space, delicious and beautiful refreshments, and our emotive, handcrafted ceremony made for a perfect afternoon. Oh no, you weren't supposed to bring a gift! The gift bag was...

Beyond Mommy: May 2012
http://beyondmommy.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Tuesday, May 15, 2012. The Tooth Fairy visited our house for the first time a few weeks ago. My daughter is only five and unfortunately her first lost tooth did not occur naturally. The experience was rather traumatic for us all, but thankfully our Tooth Fairy really came through. The cavity was filled by the dentist and his delightful assistant during this initial visit. The experience was uncharacteristically pleasant! Everything was ...

Beyond Mommy: January 2012
http://beyondmommy.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Sunday, January 29, 2012. New on the Las Vegas Strip. I encountered a strange new phenomenon on my last visit to Las Vegas (in November). Truly, Vegas is home to many strange phenomena, but by my tenth visit I was accustomed to most. Others were hideous and/or inappropriate, such as Garfield the loveable cat passed out to the tune of one too many (and sadly he wasn't the only character posed precisely the same way). Bun in the Oven.

Beyond Mommy: Mystery Solved!
http://beyondmommy.blogspot.com/2012/10/mystery-solved.html
I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Monday, October 1, 2012. Read the tale of The Mysterious Vanishing Gift. Which I posted a few days ago. And now for the exciting resolution! My sister (who is mutual friends with these folks) delivered their gift to me today. I was shocked when she nonchalantly mentioned who it was from, and related the entire unsolved mystery to her before she explained: they thought we had a baby girl. Oops! Im glad you found it out after all. Totally...

Beyond Mommy: August 2012
http://beyondmommy.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Monday, August 13, 2012. The Story of August. July 29, 2012. My intuition was that this baby would be born earlier than his due date of August 2. I believe the feeling was more authentic than merely my desire to not be uncomfortably pregnant any more. By Friday, July 27. Everything was in order and I welcomed labor to begin any time. I earnestly replied that I’d be happy to have the baby tonight. And that night, Saturday, July 28. 8221;...

I take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger. Monday, September 12, 2011. Meet Lulu: My summer project. Last summer I shared with Gary my birthday wish: to find a vintage travel trailer to fix up. I thought it would be a fun project and I love those cute trailers. Always the sensible one to bring me down to earth, Gary opened my eyes to the potentially complicated realities of such an endeavor. The inside had five or six major areas of dry-rot and/or mold. To truly restore Lulu...
