Standiford Family

Our little boy is so funny.  During the summer Megan began commenting on men without shirts.  She started calling them “half nakey”.  Kade is a little parrot sometimes and picked up this phase.  Anytime he’s without a shirt or pants or both he says he’s “half nakey”.  I make sure to point out that he’s [...]

Warning: If you don’t know or care about knitting you may consider this post boring. You can skim through it and check out the pictures.
A couple days ago I finally finished the project for Mickey’s birthday. I couldn’t do exactly what I wanted with it but I decided to give it to [...]

I went to get a picture off the “little” camera (we have two that we use, the other being the “big” or “good” camera {don’t get me started on cameras}) and found these fun pictures of us enjoying our dinner. I made Chicken Parmesan and Kade started slurping up his linguine. He [...]

Our maple tree, our only tree, has been changing the color of it’s leaves for the past few weeks, a little at a time. I asked myself, is it Fall already? Then I thought the kids are back in school, soccer has started, and Notre Dame games are in full swing. I looked [...]

This weekend has been rather hectic. I wanted to post this story yesterday but I didn’t really have time (see explanation below). Friday Megan stayed home from school and we tried to get some things done around the house. I had to finish getting ready for the Super Saturday. Betty said [...]

¡Warning!  The Standifords are QUARANTINED due to LICE!  Yuck.  Megan has had an itchy head for the last few days.  She went to the school nurse yesterday or the day before and she didn’t see anything.  I took her to our new doctor, Dr. Teters, today and it turns out she does have lice.  That [...]

Yesterday was my Dad’s birthday and we got a chance to celebrate with him for a little while. Kelly made him a “Death by Chocolate” cake and we stopped and picked up some Papa John’s pizza and breadsticks before going over to my parents house. One of the reasons for getting Papa John’s [...]

Today was a busy afternoon. Meg’s been wanting her hair cut for a few days but there hasn’t been much time lately. So today was the day. She wanted her hair very short, meaning above her ear. I said that was too short and talked her into cutting it to chin [...]

This afternoon Kade got a much needed haircut. (All the kids need one. Now I’ll have to tackle the girls.) This morning it was sticking out in several directions, this is after I wet it down. Kade’s probably the best one at sitting for a hair cut. (I do the [...]

Yesterday on Megan’s birthday she had a great soccer game. In the first quarter she played goalie and successfully stopped three shots on goal. She also was instrumental in helping her team score a couple of goals as she quickly got them back on transition with her quick passes. In the second [...]
