Big changes around here. Life altering changes…both for the little gal and her parents. Molly is no longer in a crib. And Molly no longer has her ga-ga (her paci). We decided to make these changes right after Christmas. December 28 to be exact. And today is January 23. And we are still fighting her on it. [...]

I haven’t updated about the kids in a while and I should. There’s a lot I could say about both of them, but tonight I’ll stick to Molly. In a word, she’s delightful. She has a sense of humor that is beyond her years and the vocabulary of a kindergartner when she drops words like hilarious, delicious, [...]

So Molly went to her first movie in JUNE (Father’s Day weekend, to be exact). Am I a slacker or what?? I would just forget about this post and move on with life but in our family a first movie theater experience is a milestone. For Molly’s first movie we took her to… KUNG FU [...]
buy more diapers or potty train??

It was that time again. The diaper box was nearly empty. I weighed my options…go spend $$ on another box of diapers or get over my procrastinating self and potty train my daughter. The easier option definitely would have been to go buy another box of diapers and I was close to going that route, but then [...]

A couple of weeks ago Tyler, Tessa, and Cooper came to visit. We were super excited for these three to get to play together. Owen and Cooper bonded over their mutual love of shooting things with nerf guns. These tough guys had quite the shootout in our basement. Trav had to work while they were here, but Tyler, [...]

My mom won a four day/three night stay at a fantastic condo in a silent auction and decided this would be the perfect excuse to take a quick family vacation. So a couple of weeks ago my parents, brother, Trav, the kids, and me headed down to the Lake of the Ozarks. It was a [...]

Over the 4th of July weekend, we went up to Michigan for the annual family reunion. We spent some quality time with aunts, uncles, cousins, and of course…the cows. For those that are reading about our annual trip to Michigan for the first time, here’s a little background. My dad grew up on a dairy farm with [...]

The last day of our vacation was rainy and cold…a good day for souvenir shopping! The town of Estes Park is adorable, and the shopping is great. We all picked up a few things to remember our time in Colorado. Owen even scored this awesome umbrella that I found at a children’s boutique. Molly loved [...]
