July is nearing warp speed for the Evanskeys. I just caught my breath and realized the month is half over (or only halfway begun) and I have posted not one single thing. Well shame on me. Get ready to pause that DVR cause I’m hold down the fast-forward […]
This past weekend the Evanskey crew headed out to the desert, more specifically Desert Hot Springs and Palm Springs to do some vacationing. We stayed at this groovy little resort just outside of Palm Springs with a huge pool and day spa called Miracle Springs. It got to be a tad bit hot, roughly in […]
Wow this month is flying by! I just realized I haven’t posted since the 3rd. Oops. So much has been happening that I feel like a twister picked us all up and hasn’t set us back down yet. So here’s a quick list of things that have been keeping us busy.
Construction and renovation in the […]
One more post about Indiana Jones and then I am done. So not only did we watch Raiders on Friday night but we ended up watching the whole trilogy (minus the last 45 minutes of Last Crusade) on Saturday and Sunday in preparation for our Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull experience […]
Friday night was one of those nights where all those super cool moments you think can happen with your kid really does happen. In preparation for the new Indiana Jones movie, J, K, and I sat down to watch Raiders of the Lost Ark which just happen to be J’s first time viewing it. Within […]
So last week J’s class had their Nature Center Field Trip hike and I got wrangled into volunteering in keeping the little munchkins somewhat organized, constantly moving forward, and otherwise out of trouble. It was a blast. The kids were led through a “backstage” area or off-trail area of the Nature Center and were able […]
Update: Now with video!
This weekend for Mother’s Day, the Evanskey crew packed its bags and boards and headed up to Mammoth Mountain for a two day getaway. We also we’re heading up for little J to partake in his first snowboarding lesson. The lessons went great and plenty of digital film was used up in […]
So, Mr. J is definitely utilizing his time as a kinder to get the most done in life besides playing outside, watching TV, and video games. He is now booked on Tuesdays with soccer, Wednesdays with Kidnastics, and then takes an extra class after school on Fridays in Español. He’s starting to make my schedule […]
So what do Haley “I see dead people” Joel Osment, Zoe the first frozen embryo child, James I, King of Scotland (how appropriate), Steven Seagal, Omar Sharif, Max Von Sydow, Warren DeMartini (guitarist for Dokken/Ratt), Joseph Pulitzer, and the world’s skinniest man, Claude Ambroise Seurat have in common? We all party like it’s 1999 on […]
The big J-man is motorin’ now! This weekend Jaden learned how to ride his bike without training wheels. In fact, he didn’t really like riding the thing with them at all and opted to ride his Razor rather than the bike with the t-wheels. So this weekend his friend Ray came over with his bike […]
Since spring break is nearly over and unfortunately my DeVry classes continued through the break, I finished up my Friday class and bolted home as fast as I could. Once there I grabbed Jaden threw him the truck and headed over to the Discovery Science Center in Santa Ana to check out the big bubble […]
Well Jaden has been doing pretty darn good at school and while he was visiting with grandma over the spring break Karen and I decided to do the big rewards thing for him. Today after I picked him up and we got home we presented him with his very own snowboard and equipment. We were […]
Last month the Evanskeys embarked on a construction cruise to spiffy-up our front yard. We decided that about three major things needed to happen. 1) push back our 10′ x 22′ garden by adding 7 feet of driveway and creating a 10 inch tall rock wall garden, 2) widen the west side driveway to remove […]
So this weekend we had all sorts of fun things planned except for me getting sick. Well I toughed it out and we managed to get some fun things accomplished. First off the list was Jaden got to visit with grandma and great grandma over the 2 1/2 days which gave Karen and me to […]
