Exceeding Abundantly: December 2011
http://exceedingabundantly320.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
About me and my boys. Tuesday, December 20, 2011. I’m dreaming of…. The other day the boys asked me what a “white” Christmas was. So I explained it meant SNOW. That everything was covered with beautiful, powdery melt-in-your-mouth, freezing cold, snow. My explanation they seemed confused. I guess it’s not a wonder that they didn’t understand. What is up with this place called the South? And why don’t we have SNOW? No snow. It’s not Christmas.”. Links to this post. Monday, December 19, 2011. It was a litt...

Exceeding Abundantly: Packed Up
http://exceedingabundantly320.blogspot.com/2013/04/packed-up.html
About me and my boys. Friday, April 5, 2013. This past week we closed on our new house and began life as home owners again. We've been renting for the past 3 1/2 years, and between living in Missouri, North Carolina and now way out West, there was no reason to buy until we knew we'd be settled. And so. here we are. Settled. Well, aside from the mountains of boxes in every room. Haha. But truly, we are well on our way to being settled. We're putting down roots. We're calling a house our own.

Exceeding Abundantly: June 2012
http://exceedingabundantly320.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
About me and my boys. Thursday, June 14, 2012. I’ve always loved the rain. I know that growing up in the Pacific Northwest plays a big part in that. It was always raining there and most locals learn to love it. And love it, I did. I spent nearly 20 years of my life in the beautiful state of Washington and came to love the drizzles, the steady drip-drop that soothed me to sleep, and most of all the torrential downpours. And then off they went. Or… off. Seeing their delight in the rain took me back. I was ...

Exceeding Abundantly: March 2012
http://exceedingabundantly320.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
About me and my boys. Wednesday, March 14, 2012. Nick completed his 20 month Company Command this morning! Probably the most beautiful part was that mid speech, when it would have been fitting to boast about his great accomplishment and what he has done for this Company, he told everyone, from his soldiers to the very high ranking officials who sat in the stands, that the most important thing he did for the Company as its Commander was to pray. And do you see why I got teary eyed? We were deeply touched ...

Exceeding Abundantly: Sweet sweet sweetness
http://exceedingabundantly320.blogspot.com/2013/01/sweet-sweet-sweetness.html
About me and my boys. Thursday, January 24, 2013. I know you’ve been waiting for these sweet sweet pictures of this sweet sweet guy. Especially you, Mom. While I can’t say that life’s been terribly busy, it has been busy. Perhaps more of a getting-into-a-routine type busy, than a my-schedule-is-so-packed type busy. So…instead of running too and fro with things outside the home, we’ve been able to adjust to our new home and to have an inward focus. And then we moved the following week, then took a week to...

Exceeding Abundantly: May 2012
http://exceedingabundantly320.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
About me and my boys. Wednesday, May 23, 2012. New Do and Week 22. The news of the next boy on the way, and the reminder that it is going to be another hot Southern summer, prompted me to get my long hair chopped off and restyled to make me feel super feminine and super cool (as in, not hot). This shorter style will be so much easier to manage and gives me a fresh new look too, don’t you think? As I said, I like it a lot. Oh boy, a new do and week 22… it’s a great place to be. Links to this post. Well, t...

Our Kokamamie World: January 2010
http://jnkkok.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 24, 2010. It's been too long since I've shared some new happenings with the kids. Let's start with Kaylee. She reminds us that "Daddy calls me 'bug' and Mommy calls me 'sweetheart'". She can be both, believe me! She has just started into the "Why" phase. Some days it gets to be annoying. I took up some advice from a friend of ours. Whenever I get annoyed and want the questions to end, I simply say "Because elephants have flat feet". You know what? It stops her "why" questions real fast!

Our Kokamamie World: The Things Kids Say
http://jnkkok.blogspot.com/2011/07/things-kids-say.html
Saturday, July 2, 2011. The Things Kids Say. We all know how kids say the strangest things. Well, Kaylee is being adorable by drawing a picture of heaven "to give to Jesus and God". Then she says she's going to die like this (open arms and eyes closed) so she can give it to them. This makes me choke! I suggested maybe we MAIL the picture to them instead. So as she's putting the picture in an envelope she says to me "This is much better! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Exceeding Abundantly: November 2012
http://exceedingabundantly320.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
About me and my boys. Thursday, November 22, 2012. Nothing beats a Sunday afternoon nap. except maybe worshipping the Lord at church. I'm so thankful for both- one day in seven set aside for worship and rest! Links to this post. Tuesday, November 13, 2012. I always wondered what I’d do if I had a skinny baby. Probably freak out just a little. It never takes long before the infamous family double chin appears. Doesn’t he wear it well? Oooh, I just love my little double chinned boy. Links to this post.

A picture is worth a thousand words: February 2010
http://thebovenkampfamily.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
A picture is worth a thousand words. Stuff I like to look at. Thursday, February 25, 2010. We had my nephew over and I printed out some pictures from the Noah's Ark, While I read the story the kids colored, after they had to work together to put them in order. I am one of the Kindergarten teachers at our homeschool co-op on Fridays and this was the craft we did for the first week. Coffee filters, clothespins and pipe cleaners. Monday, February 8, 2010.
