Red Robin, YUMMMM!

We have had Red Robin commercials in Lubbock forever and it made Jim crazy!  He loved Red Robin back in Oregon and he hates seeing commercials for Red Robin because Lubbock doesn't have one.  He called the commercials a big tease.  Well, surprise, surprise, surprise, Lubbock FINALLY got a Red Robin, and Jim couldn't be happier!  Just in time for his free birthday burger next month.

The best part of getting a Red Robin in Lubbock?  My mom scoring us free food before they actually opened!  Jim was ridiculously excited!  Red Robin AND it's free??  Yes, please.  I was sick with Strep and Bronchitis, so I was a little worried I wouldn't be able to go, but the night of our reservations I finally started to feel slightly better- so ignore that I look a little Flushed.

The family at Red Robin:
Mommy and Austin.  We couldn't get him to stop watching basketball on TV-


Daddy and Jackson-


The food was delicious!  Just take Austin's word for it.
...And the fact that he's wearing his pizza all over his face-


Jackson even ate all of his food, which rarely happens.  But he was more excited to color the map of the United States that was on his kid menu-


Then, the icing on the cake (pun intended), our waiter chose our table for a free dessert too!  I was stuffed, so Jim choose a cheese cake, but as soon as it got to our table Austin started to attack it.  Literally.  Jim almost lost a finger when he tried to get a bite.



It was such a fun night!  The food was great, the boys were on their best behavior all night AND they ate all their food (serious rarity), and best of all, it was FREE!

    We LOVE Red Robin, too! It is such a great place to take kids - not only because of the TVs that keep them entertained, but it's always so loud anyway, that kids making noise doesn't bother anyone. Just a bonus basically that they have amazing hamburgers ;) Glad you guys have one close by now!

Homemade laundry soap

After about a dozen of my friends started making their own laundry soap I decided maybe it's time I give it a try too.  After talking to a friend that I KNOW is a neat freak like me and she has 4 kids with double the dirty, sticky, crayon-laced clothes that I have, and she raved about homemade detergent I was sure I wanted to make my own laundry soap too.  You can find my recipe here .  I was able to get spaghetti stains off of a white shirt and make Jim's dingy work shorts really clean and bright again.  All of this with just one little tablespoon of homemade detergent.  I did pre-treat the dried spaghetti sauce with a bar of the Fels-Naptha soap (found in the detergent) because someone told me it's a great stain remover and pre-treat agent, and it is! So here's how I made mine... Step 1:  Gather all the ingredients.  I found ALL of the ingredients in the detergent isle at Walmart.  I did buy the generic Oxy-clean, and it's more than enoug...

Maybe a new birthday tradition...

I just have one brother and his birthday is 5 days before mine, so it's been pretty easy to keep up with him. Jim, however, has 3 brothers and a sister, and now 3 of his siblings are married, so the birthday's just keep adding up. My forgetful brain can NOT keep up. Anyway, I've been looking for a cute and thoughtful way to send birthday greetings to all the aunts and uncles since we've been married. Almost 4 years later I think I finally have an idea! My idea is to make a birthday sign every year and have the boys take a picture with the sign for whatever family member has a birthday. Then send the person the picture with birthday greetings. Then every year they will have a different picture with the boys as they grow and I won't feel guilty missing anyone's birthday without proper acknowledgement. I also thought that it would make a great photo album for us if we keep each person's birthday picture with the boys and watch their growth progression ...

The end of school; the end of an era

Soooo, it's been awhile since I've posted, and by "awhile" I mean a year ago.  Oops.  I'm so busy during the school year with my own classes that I forget to post in the blog.  I'll try to do better, especially for our family that lives far away. The end of this school year was crazy!  I felt like I was running in circles working in the PTA- there was so much to do!  I thought joining the PTA would be some good volunteer time at the boys' school- I had NO idea just how much time it takes!  Next year, I'll be a little more prepared because I know what's coming.  And that's not even the crazy part- Jackson has finished elementary and Harrison graduated from pre-k.  That's crazy!  Where did the time go?! Harrison's graduation was first, so I'll start there.  It was soooo sweet and so cute, and I cried like a baby because he IS my baby.  This tiny person is such a perfect little caboose for our family.  Recently, I've been thin...
