Family
Heartfelt updates about family milestones and everyday moments. From taking Mazie to college and annual visits to the Renaissance Festival to Swedish‑pancake breakfasts and VR outings with the kids, this category celebrates togetherness.
Tyler tonight shared his favorite YouTube gamer Mr. A-Game’s birthday, which was a little surprising to us that he knew that. So Tammy asked him what her birthday was. Tyler failed the test. 😬
RV Learning: Mind the Main Power Switch!
We’ve had our first mis-hap of our Yellowstone Road Trip and we haven’t even left the driveway yet!
Last night a big downpour came through and I left the windows open in the RV. I woke up and was worried things would be soaked inside. But, that really wasn’t a problem. The side windows didn’t let in any rain, they just slant out and don’t really open up. However, some rain did come in through the top vents which I had left open. But not a lot, and a quick paper towel was able to wipe it all up.
The bigger issue was last night I asked Mazie to turn the lights off. Which she did, I saw them go off. However, I didn’t consider that how she turned them off was to turned the main power for the RV off! So everything was off, including the refrigerator, which we had loaded just a couple of hours earlier.
So, this morning when I couldn’t get anything to turn on I thought it was maybe a tripped breaker. But then I looked at the main power switch and noticed the red light was off. Uh oh…
We are adding a quick trip to the grocery store before we hit the road… 🛒😬
Game 7 of the World Series between Astros and Nationals is an absolute nail biter. Tyler and I are cheering for the Astros! 😬⚾️💥
Finally the Astros win one in the World Series! 2-1 now. Tyler’s spirits are lifted with his team showing some hope! ⚾️
After watching the Yankee’s school the Twins, I’m rather enjoying watching the Astro’s return the favor to the Yankees. Plus the Astro’s are Tyler’s favorite team. 😀⚾️

Upgraded Nintendo Switch to 6.0 and Tyler and I are trying out Switch Online. It’s fun to play Donkey Kong on yet another modern game platform. 🤓🕹
Tyler and I still have fun with Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 9399 2668 4290 if you want to friend us. 🙌🏻
We dropped Tyler off for his first overnight camp. Just two nights. Experienced some nervousness and anxiety as we sent him off, but Tyler seemed okay. 😬
Took my Canon 5D Mark II with the 70-200 f/2.8L to Tyler’s baseball game today. Good reminder of how far iPhone photography has to go. 📷
