A Lego Birthday
My little boy turned 4. I don’t know whether I’m more excited for his maturing or sad for the loss of his baby qualities. Mostly I am excited though. I see amazing things in his future and I look forward to being there to encourage and apply band-aides as necessary. We had a party to…

Our California Vacation
We took our first ever Cushing family vacation. With the primary goal of visiting family in the Los Angeles area, we also wanted to fit in a whole bunch of other fun things during the week. We visited Vegas, Sea World, Disneyland, the Santa Barbara Zoo, and a whole bunch of other fun places along…

The Cake Baker Strikes Again
Becky worked her magic once again and made a wonderful cake for Travis’ 3rd birthday party. This one was a little more simple than some of the past but it was exactly what Travis wanted and it tasted amazing, as always.

New Years Weekend With Friends
For New Years and to celebrate my friend Greg’s birthday, we joined 2 other couples and their kids at Greg’s cabin in Smith’s Ferry this weekend. We shared a bunch of good food and drinks, fun games, and even a little sledding in the small bit of snow on the ground. Part of the plans…

1 John 4:10 By Memory
in Family-
Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. We try to teach our kids a lot of good things. Some useful, some not. As a child I memorized Bible verses in church. It makes me a little sad to say that many of the references are…

Memorial For George “Art” Cushing
My grandpa lived a long and amazing life. While the pain of knowing I’m not going to see him again in this life is just, excruciating, it is so much fun looking back on what an amazing man he was. Born in 1925, he saw a lot of change in his lifetime. He served in…

A Visit To JumpTime With The Kids
My Aunt Marilyn called this afternoon and asked if we’d like to bring the kids to play at JumpTime with my cousin’s boy Colton. Having a day free of plans, we were happy to go along for some rowdy playtime. This was our first time to JumpTime but the idea is pretty similar to Bounce or…

A Drive To The Desert
Becky joined a group of Christian ladies known as Keepers of the Home this last weekend for a retreat in McCall. While she was gone it was just me and the kids for the whole day on Saturday so I thought a nice drive would be fun. Elizabeth had earlier in the week expressed an…

Izabel’s Birthday Party
We had a nice time at the Cornwall’s place on Saturday for a great birthday girl. Fun was had by all so I thought I’d share the video clips I took of the Pinata bashing. Here they are in all their unedited glory.

Batman’s Candy Rescue
Travis and Elizabeth had their first real trip Trick-or-Treating on Monday. I wondered how they would fare in the late night with the creatures and creepies roaming the neighborhoods. Once again, my concern was unfounded. Elizabeth was adorable and unstoppable as Supergirl and kept a great attitude despite a small tripping incident that left a…

Golf With Dad
Dad and I made it golfing today. It was only the second time I’ve been out this year and it showed. I would say it might be because I’m biased, but my dad is awesome. I really like spending time like this with him. Our score standards may have been low, but we tied, and…
