Happy Easter! This year we attended an Easter Egg Hunt put on by the church at A’s school, which A loved. He loved going down the huge inflatable slide (which I was thoroughly impressed by), and had a great time searching for eggs! The most hilarious part of our Easter morning was A’s happy dance [...]

One of the ideas we started since J arrived is weekend movie night. My sister and her family have been doing this for awhile and I really liked the idea. We thought it would be fun to start for A, and gives him something to look forward to on either Friday or Saturday night! Our [...]

A little re-cap of our second week with baby J. J is now 8 lbs 5 oz (WHAT!), and 21 and 1/4 inches long. Suffice to say he is growing and eating a lot. We are still working on schedules, but he is still sleeping decently in the pack n play at night, and has [...]

Happy Birthday to my sweet nephew! He told me matter of factly at his party that “he will always be the oldest”. He also has told me that he will teach A how to play with baby J. Hilarious! I honestly cannot believe he is already 6, and I’m sure any of my grad school [...]

Baby JAM is here! With those initials we just know it means he is going to be one hip and sweet baby. Before I put up all the pictures and let them speak for themselves of his arrival, I wanted to provide a few memory moments for my blog memories and our family and friends. [...]

There is not much more that all the boys love than a birthday right now. A birthday means presents, cake, ice cream, balloons, and being able to get together and play! We had a great time celebrating my Dad’s birthday! First present opening…also titled “there’s something about Granna” because this time the boys were incredibly [...]

From all of us! And from A who loves his Papa because he: flies helicopters with him in the house… plays outside… and is why A calls himself a fixer guy, thinks a power washer is awesome, and wants a mustang and a jeep just like Papa.

A is bringing ABBA back! One dance party at my parents and boom…our house is now filled with Mamma Mia and Super Trouper. Don’t worry Katy Perry…A hasn’t forgotten the Firework song. However, it is nice to hear some diversity in his song choices! At first all A wanted to do was hold the microphone. [...]

After opening presents at our house, we then continued later to my parents house for dinner and more presents! I have to say A was not the best at opening presents this year…he took about three hours at our house to actually get all of his presents opened, and then had quite a bit of [...]

Our Christmas this year started out at our house. A was slightly more interested in opening our stockings than his own. And was a bit offended that Santa did not bring him a real cake. However I think Santa’s surprise present of a keyboard helped A get over the whole cake debacle. “Santa brought me [...]
