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.

June 23, 2009

Last weekend my little brother Tyler was married to his adorable Lisa! They are such a wonderful couple and we are so happy for them! This is most of the reason why I’ve been MIA here at the blog, because weddings are a lot of work. I’ll post more about the big day later but […]

Goodbye Kindergarten, Hello Summer

June 5, 2009

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 […]
