Our 4th of July Weekend: Part 1

July 9, 2009

I always love the 4th of July weekend. Dressing all in red, white and blue, talking with the kids about why we celebrate Independence Day and our freedoms, parades, family, fireworks, and of course, good food. We had a great time this year, starting off with a BBQ at my parents’ place on Friday night. […]

Easter 2009

April 21, 2009

Another Easter has come and gone. I really love this time of year. It’s strange to think that just last Easter (it was in March) I was pregnant with Haylie. I’m constantly amazed with how fast time goes. And how the kids are growing. So I get out my camera and try to freeze time […]

Our Valentine Weekend ’09

February 19, 2009

We had a fun Valentine weekend. It’s like a bright spot right in between Christmas and Easter, something fun to look forward to. It all started earlier in the week….. I was sitting on the couch feeding Haylie when I noticed Brandon sort of hiding and working on something secretively behind the counter. I asked […]

Winter "Break"

January 4, 2008

Christmas was a lot of fun and we kept pretty busy afterwards as well. It’s called a holiday “break” but really, it’s not a break at all, but way busier than regular life, right?? But still lots of fun. Some highlights from the past week or so–post-Christmas and into the New Year: **Jazz Game with […]

Christmas!!

December 30, 2007

You might want to grab a mug of hot chocolate and some munchies, this one’s gonna be on the longish side. We had a great Christmas! The kids were so excited the entire month and it was contagious. I loved hearing the kids singing Jingle Bells, Annie randomly shouting “Santa Pwaus, Ho Ho Ho!”, Brandon’s […]

I had a birthday, shout hooray!

December 17, 2007

It was my b-day yesterday. 29 years old. Sometimes I still feel like a 16 year old (in an older, chubbier body) and can’t believe that I’m almost 30 and have a family of my own. I asked Brandon how old he thought I was. His first guess was “Six” and I said “higher.” Then […]
