  • Happy 9 months!

    Riley was 9 months old yesterday! We met the boy’s new pediatrician, Dr. Sullivan. I like her so far. She seems like she’ll work out great for my personality as a parent and degree of comfortability with medical stuff with the boys. Riley weighed in at 21 pounds and was 28.5 inches long.

  • Everyday Life – Music Time

    Both Brad and I were very musically involved growing up. I think I was way more than Brad as I grew up in a singing instrument playing family, went through band since elementary school (Brad did too) and kept making music a part of my life even now by singing in our church worship team…

  • Everyday Life – Granola Bars and Parks

    While I was working full time waiting for the school year to end my mom so graciously made batches of granola bars for Landon. With all of his food allergies a snack like a granola bar is impossible to buy and when every second of your life is filled with work, sleep and some form…

  • Everyday Life – Getting settled in

    We have been in our new home for almost two weeks. Its amazing how fast the time has gone. In many ways it feels like we’ve been here for much long than two weeks, and in other ways it feels like we’re just on a long vacation. I started hanging pictures and decorations yesterday so…

  • Everyday Life (or not so) – Moving

    So we have finally made the move! We are now in the new house, slowly getting unpacked and settled in. I love our new life, house and being a full time stay at home mom now. I promise to post more as we get the house more settled. Every second is filled with unpacking boxes…

  • Landon’s Room

     When Landon moved into his big boy room I had a great time doing a custom hand painting of his room to be the “vroom vroom” room. He loved it, I loved it and honestly it is the hardest thing I am having to get over leaving when we move. I know that  I can…

  • How I keep my house clean

    By no means is my house HGTV ready but a clean and organized house makes me happy. Really it does. When I sit down to relax and I can see clutter, or know there are chores that still need to be done I really don’t relax. I have three “rules” of cleaning that I have…

  • Everyday Life – “That” kid

    We’ve all done it before we’ve had a kid of our own and vowed we would never have “that” kid. You know, the one that is screaming at the top of his lungs in the middle of a nice a quiet store, kicking and screaming and flailing his arms. Did I mention screaming? Yeah – that…

  • Everyday life – holding on for dear life

    I go grocery shopping with two children two and under. Yes. I am that crazy. Really I’m not though. Riley does fine as long as he’s not hungry and Landon is really well behaved in public, as long as he’s not hungry, except for this one time in Rite Aid. I behave pretty well too (as…
