Happy Birthday John

By Leslie Parks - Wednesday, October 20, 2010
I have been blessed to celebrate my husband's birthday every year for the last 20 years!  He is an incredibly talented guy.  He is patient with the kids and especially me.  He is sweet and sometimes romantic.  He is always learning something and looks at life with a postive note.  He strives to have Godly character and models that behavior for the kids...

Fireside

By Leslie Parks - Monday, October 18, 2010
Every year we have a bon fire in our backyard.  I usually don't go out there.  It makes me nervous - pointy sticks, flaming marshmallows and kids just do not seem like they go together.  Last night however John talked me into hanging out by the fire.  At first it was all about flaming pointed gooey sticks but then it graduated to poking...

Soup project

By Leslie Parks - Sunday, October 17, 2010
This fall I've been a little obsessed with soup.  The days are getting crisp outside and staying that way.  I just feel like having some comfort food while at the same time not gainning any weight, which has nothing to do with my project.  Anyhow my soup project is just this:  make some soup, find about 20 favorites, take photos and then make...

Ghosting

By Leslie Parks - Saturday, October 09, 2010
One year, some one rang our doorbell and left a cute little treat at our door.  I made a copy of the information and then we decorated bags and ghosted a couple other people.  This year the kids started talking about ghosting so I found our ghosting sheet, made these cute little bags, invited some friends and went ghosting in our neighborhood.  John...

Middle School Soccer

By Leslie Parks - Wednesday, October 06, 2010
This year soccer has really changed for us.  Ok, it's just this season but it has changed.  Instead of soccer practice for three kids at night, it's just Job and Lona that have evening soccer practice.  Isaac has practice everyday afterschool.  He is playing for the Vista Vikings.  The soccer team is small so he starts every game and sometimes plays the whole game. ...
