These boys are eating up Christmas this year! It’s the perfect age to make lasting memories during this season, and we’re trying to do just that! This weekend we took in some of the downtown Indianapolis highlights including Christmas at the Zoo, the Monument Circle Lights, and several of the Circle City displays. We bundled [...]

How does a family of six ride one bike? In style via a surrey, of course! We recently rented this set of wheels from Wheel Fun Rentals at White Water State Park and leisurely explored the canal downtown Indy. We weren’t sure if we could squeeze every one in to a single surrey, but we [...]

(Post by: Brad) I love being a Dad… When Jen was in the early days of her quadruplet pregnancy, my mind was always racing about what my new life was going to look like. There was always the nagging concern our children would not survive the pregnancy at all, but beyond that, I had many [...]

We took the boys for their first adventure to Turkey Run State Park. (Our old stomping grounds from our high school sweetheart days.) I LOVE this park and being surrounded by God’s incredible creation, and couldn’t wait to share it with my boys. Our day started with a picnic lunch on a picnic table large [...]

There’s nothing better than a warm Indiana Spring after a bitter Indiana Winter! We are soaking up every hour of sunshine and park hopping. Not the theme park hopping you might be thinking of…the FREE kind! I think we’ve already hit up five different parks this spring, and there will be several more added to [...]

It’s spring in Indiana, my favorite time of the year. After an unusually cold and snowy winter, it was really refreshing to see the flowers, leaves, and warmth of spring emerge. The spring always brings a flurry of new activity with it. Gardening, mowing, fertilizing, and cleaning are typical for most of us. At our [...]

Our method of potty training “Booty Camp” style was pretty intense, and required us to stop everything for several consecutive days, stay home, and do everything potty related. Needless to say, towards the end of the week, we were more than ready to get out of the house! Practically, it seemed like an overwhelming [...]

Brooks and I were too sick to dance on Saturday, but Brad and the other 3 headed down to Indianapolis The Children’s Museum for The Pull-Ups Potty Dance Party with Ralph’s World. The turn out was amazing – eager parents ready to motivate their tots and have FUN in the process! They put on [...]

The boys received a early birthday surprise this weekend from their Aunt Kristy and Uncle Ryan: Tickets to Toy Story 3 on Ice! I can remember going to Disney on Ice when I was their age as one of my first memories. They LOVED it and hopefully they’ll remember it for years to come! Hardly [...]

I LOVE our family Pumpkin Patch Tradition. It’s the outing I most look forward to in the fall. I love seeing how much they’ve changed from year to year through pictures, and how they are starting to remember the orchard, drinking cider, and claiming their own little pumpkin. You know what’s funny? They each know [...]
