We have been dreaming of this day for so many years…and now it has finally arrived! Today is the day we take our kiddos to Walt Disney World for the first time!! We couldn’t be more excited about this once-in-a-lifetime moment that will create memories to last a lifetime. And as if taking the whole fam’ to Florida wasn’t a BIG enough...

This past Saturday Cameron and Ellie each had 3 friends spend the night for their first ever birthday sleepover at our house! Talk about the perfect ending to a crazy/insane/busy/tiring/busy/busy week!! While I don’t necessarily look forward to the next time there are NINE children under our roof, I have to say the birthday party was so much fun, and all of the...

Wow…our little princess is now SIX years old!?!? At 8:36am, on August 21st, 2003, Eileen Theresa Oldweiler was welcomed into this world (and the world has never been the same!) Please join us in wishing her a Happy Birthday! Thinking back to when Ellie was born, I cannot believe she was almost born on the shoulder of I-25…but alas, we were able to make...

At 10:09pm, August 17th, 2001, Cameron McKinley Oldweiler was born. Now, here we are, 8 years later and little Cameron has grown up to be such a wonderful and amazing young boy. Please join us in wishing him a Happy Birthday! People utter the phrase “…time flies…” so often that I feel it really loses it’s impact. But I have to say, I...

Looking at the pictures from our amazing vacation to Michigan feels as if it took place months ago – but alas, it has been less than two weeks since we were watching our kiddos play on the beach, while sipping a glass of wine watching a sunset like the one above. After 30 years of visiting our cottage, I have come to the conclusion that it is (almost) literally...

Yes, it’s true…we are back from our wonderful vacation to Michigan! The trip this year was amazing (as always), and we brought home so many great memories from another two weeks at the cottage. This post is simply a space-filler to keep this site moving until I am able to assemble the BIG Michigan post. We snapped soooooo many great pictures during our...

It’s hard to believe the time has come to make our annual trek up to the cottage, but it’s true! And while Jen and I are incredibly excited that we begin our road trip tomorrow, it is nowhere NEAR the level of excitement being displayed by the kiddos. They (almost) literally cannot wait!! The map above represents our journey across this great country,...

One of my favorite parts of our trip to San Francisco was our tour of Alcatraz . Sure, I have read about it…and seen movies about it…etc. – but none of that could prepare me for just how powerful of a place it is. The amount of amazing history and scenery was too much to absorb in just a day, but we did our best. Even though there were hundreds...

Phew! We are back from a wonderful vacation…and without a doubt, San Francisco is one unbelievably fantastic town! Since we were able to cram so much into our trip, I thought it best to break it up into a few separate updates as opposed to one monster post. For today’s update, we will focus on just exactly ‘where’ we went, and...

So, looking at our schedule, it would seem next to impossible to envision Jen and I escaping for 5 days on our own…but low and behold, we were somehow able to make it work! That’s right, Jen and I are departing for San Francisco this coming Wednesday, and we could NOT be happier!! Why are we going you ask? You see, it was just ten short years ago (July...

Hooray…the camping season is finally here! This past weekend Jen and I took the family up north to Carter Lake, CO. While it wasn’t the most ‘off-the-beaten-path’ site around, it was a good first trip of the summer. Since we are going camping three out of the next four weekends, it was nice to get the camper out and make sure everything...

Mother Nature did her best to put a kink in our annual Mother’s Day celebration…but she ended up failing miserably. Despite cool temperatures and a rainy morning, we were able to not only get to the garden store and pick up all the necessary goodies – but we were also able to get them all planted as well! It was a wonderful, productive and...
