I had the privilege of witnessing my newest nephew Danny being born this past Monday. Early that morning it looked like things were progressing quickly so I grabbed my camera and headed to the hospital. Before I left I took a quick photo of Tommy to capture him in...

Despite being behind in posting this birthday picture there was no way I was going to let this one slide. Jared and I love doing this little tradition together, it’s fun to think about what makes your kid ‘funny’ or ‘cool’ or melt your...

This past weekend, Jack turned 3 (swallowing giant lump in throat). Given his minor obsession with the Toy Story trilogy, there was no doubt in my mind who should host this party for him, Buzz and Woody. Despite Buzz’s current health condition (remember this...

#1 Vacation with grandparents #2 When you bring the grandparents, just listen to them. When this Grandma told me her craft plans for the kids that involved foam pieces, seashells and beads all I could picture was said items all over the floor of my car. But I’m...

Oh the beach. How I miss the beach. The wind was actually really cold the first day but it didn’t stop us. Armed with sweatshirts and hats and jackets we headed down. Look at my handsome boys looking too cool on their stroll. Here’s Luke’s very...

If you follow me on Instagram or if we’re friends on Facebook then you may have noticed last week that we took a road trip for Spring Break. We spent the week with family down in Crystal Beach, TX and it was in a word: awesome. Traveling has been on my mind a...

This weeks project 52 theme is ‘Natural Beauty’. When I was a little girl, about my daughters age, my face was covered in freckles. With my strawberry blond hair I really didn’t stand a chance. Of course at the time I hated it. I used to stare in the...

It’s been getting to me lately. With the 5 of us home every day all day (except Grace being in preschool 3 half days a week) I’ve been feeling so very defeated when it comes to the house. I joke that it’s clean between the hours of 9:00 pm and 8:00...

My girl. (climbing onto her ‘stage’ to perform for Daddy and I) A couple of days ago she woke up crying. It was earlier than usual so Jared put her into bed with me and she snuggled right in. I could hear a soft little sob. “What’s wrong...

21 people, 1 house. If that doesn’t sound scary enough, 11 were kids. We were officially, undoubtedly outnumbered. So what’s a family to do with themselves in beautiful Buena Vista for an extended weekend together? We started with some sledding We had to...

For the most part, our lives are unaffected. Anything that is out of the ordinary for most people (i.e. Jared not driving) is simply our ‘new normal’. Led by Jared’s amazing strength of character, we choose to feel grateful for how insanely blessed...

For some reason the age ‘4’ still seems little to me, like I can get away with calling her my baby girl, still shop in the toddler section, still have her convinced that mommy is a superhero. But 5…I can’t quite explain how it actually breaks...

Luke and Grace’s birthdays happen to be 20 days apart and fall right after the holidays so we decided to combine their big party (for everyone’s sake!) I tried to encourage Grace to help me choose a theme but the first 12 or so ideas that she threw out...

The theme for week 2 of Project 52 was ‘Fresh’. Immediately I thought of the kids fresh from the bath or a nap, but then I remembered this photo that my ‘cheeky’ brother in law provided for me when I took some shots of their family a few weeks...
