Little Rockers!

We have noticed that Finn has a new passion. If his Daddy's "Rock Band" drums are out, Finn cannot resist playing. I don't know if its him wanting to imitate Caleb, or a natural desire to hit things really hard... but he loves it. We were getting a kick out of his intense drum solo today, being backed up on base by Rheanna and vocals by Ian, and by "vocals" I mean imitating a lead guitar. The next step is deciding on a name for the little rock band (that's if they don't break up due to artistic differences).

Happy Mother's Day!

One of Finn's Mother's Day gifts to me was a packet of photos that Daddy and Aunt Irene took of him. Its one of the very few times I have ever seen his hair hair-sprayed and slicked to the side. Thank you to Finn for making being a Mom so fun!!!

Farmer's Market Fun

Farmer's Market started last night, and we had so much fun! It was a success! We even sold out of a few of our cake and trifle items by the end of the night.

Family came out to help and play. Mike and my Dad helped Caleb get everything set up, Tim and Irene showed up with all the kids, Jade and Laurie were there at the start, and Mom came with Finn half way through.


We all enjoyed the music, food, and business. It was a great way to spend our Friday evening. We look forward to the many Fridays to come over the Summer.


Rheanna was a HUGE help! She is the perfect little employee.


We had tons of fun and wanted to say thanks to everyone who stopped by to see us. It was fun to see some familiar faces. And thank you to all the family who helped us get everything started this weekend (it was a hectic few days getting it all ready).

To Exclude or not to Exclude?

This is the big question. A friend of mine was recently telling me that it is a bad idea to have a family blog open to the public, but making blogs private is a bit of a pain. Almost everyone I know who has a blog has asked me this question, "is it dangerous or making your family vulnerable?". Caleb is all for making this a private blog, but then we would be excluding legitimate people because we forget to "extend the blog invite" to them. Anyway, I am putting a poll up to get your feedback.

What do you think????

Say Yes to Handbells

As some of you know, Mom and I are in the Clovis Adult School Community Handbell Choir. We performed at the Fresno County Office of Education this past Wednesday. So here is a little clip of us performing, white gloves and all.

A little Thank You!

After our last post "Finn's Comfort Show" (scroll to the next post to catch up if you missed it), one of the band members from The Postmarks left a comment on our blog wishing Finn better. I thought that was an incredibly nice gesture and so.... THANK YOU to Jonathan. You and your talented band have earned a place on our links section (a very high honor).


PS Finn is feeling much better now.

Finn's Comfort Show

Poor Finn has been sick the last few days. He woke up the other morning with a fever and has just been sluggish. And although you can tell how much he wants to get down on the floor and play, play, play... he doesn't seem to have the energy to do it. So he just sits in my lap and plays with my hair. His sad lethargy elicits a response in me, in which I am willing to give him just about whatever he wants. Though I am a firm believer in keeping children from turning into spoiled tyrants, when Finn is sick all I want is to make him as happy and comfortable as possible, so I throw all structure out the window.

An example from the last few days: Let the boy have his Yo Gabba Gabba, 24-7 if he wants it. It is after all the one and only show that can completely captivate him. One of Finn's FAVORITE episodes has this song on it by the Postmarks and he loves to watch it... which makes total sense to me. I can't help but feel happy when I hear it as well.

So in honor of Finn and his valiant little effort to fight the bug, I present to you: "Balloons"
