Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


  • What we do on sick days …

  • It’s always something with that one …

    Tucking Morgan in during the wee hours before dawn I told him I loved him “all the way to the moon and back.” “But Mom, what about Pluto.” Fine Pluto then. Continue reading

  • Four bears in the bed and the little one said …

    Four bears in the bed and the little one said … roll over, my head hurts. Yes, Tyler went down with a fever yesterday (but is fine today) and about 3 this morning Morgan decided he wouldn’t be left out, our outdone and today is sick as well. And now my head is killing me… Continue reading

  • Did I mention …

    Did I ever mention that Matt is amazing? This morning I had my orientation and first class in my electronic resources cluster (9 credit hours in one class). I had expressed some intimidation at going back to school. So this morning I had to get up early — being up at 8 is not a… Continue reading

  • Fortified with caffeine …

    This morning as I was getting a soda at the gas station I noticed the slushies are now “fortified with caffeine” — really? is the concentration of sugar not enough? — you need to have it fortified with caffeine as well? Guess it sells. Anyway … We are now starting our third week of school… Continue reading

  • And They’re Off …

    It’s official — both Morgan and Tyler are officially in school — and yes, I cried (But just a little) I told Matt I wasn’t ready for Morgan to be in kindergarten — Matt said kindergarten isn’t ready for Morgan. Continue reading

About Me

I started this site so my mom could get news about her grandkids without me having to walk her through the process of trying to open and email attachment several times a week.  Since then she has passed away and I’ve fallen off the blog wagon, but I’m inspired to pick it up again now.
