We Recorded Some Things…

Outnumbered
Since we will be out of town so much this summer, my big ultrasound wasn’t scheduled until almost 22 weeks along. Well, that was just unacceptable. I didn’t think I could possibly wait that long (I’m 16 weeks now) to find out whether this baby was a boy or girl. Plus, we really wanted to…

Encore Father’s Day Performance
I actually posted this on the blog a few years ago…I thought it was worthy of a repeat. Here is me in all my frizzy haired, five year old glory: Happy Father’s Day Dad!! Still super glad that you’re my dad!

Talented Kids
I now understand what it feels like to have a child in a sport/activity that you are just as vested in as they are. I think I was just as excited (if not more so) than Danny, when he received this. And just as nervous when he tested it for it. Introducing Daniel-san – YELLOW…

Bittersweet
At the end of a lovely Memorial Day weekend in Fresno with Brent’s family, we got some shocking and terribly sad news. Brent’s Grandpa Finlayson (his mom’s dad) collapsed on Monday and was rushed to the hospital. Shortly after, we were informed that he did not survive. As I type this, I still can’t believe…

Daniel-San
For some reason, five year olds beating each other up is really cute when they are wearing karate uniforms. Danny is so in love with this. He can’t wait for every Tuesday night to roll around. I’m wondering if we might be in this for the long haul. All he can talk about is getting…

Celebrate Good Times…
Today was Mother’s Day. Here’s what I got: a sleep in, breakfast in bed actually made by the kids, two bouquets of flowers, a heart shaped Lego “cake,” a coupon from Danny for “being nice to Jake,” a hand-drawn, framed portrait of myself saying “I Am The Coolest Mom,” a flower shaped magnet with Danny’s…

The Good With The Bad
So Brent and I are both kinda wiped out. I could see it on Brent’s face when he stumbled in after work the other day. And I felt his pain when the alarm went off at 5:15 am Thursday morning (like it does every morning) and he had to roll out of bed after one…

Lovin’ This Road
Since attending Kaci’s funeral, where I saw my brother speak with such a fire, and her kids move forward with such a faith – I’ve been truly inspired. I’ve been trying each day to love the road I’m on a little more, and remember where it leads. The last two months have taught me a…

A Light In This World
Many of you who follow this blog will remember my sister-in-law Kaci. She is married to my brother David, is 34 years old, has SIX beautiful kids ranging in age from 3 to 12, and for the last two years has been fighting a valiant fight for her life. I’m so sad to share that…

It’s a Picture-Thon!
Here’s what the last two months have looked like around here: Lots of Disneyland visits. With lots of different friends and family. Our passes are about to expire. Gotta get the most bang for our buck! Good times with Grandmas and Grandpas. Some extreme weather – hot and cold. Monsoon rains, crazy hail, threatening snow……

Good Thing She’s So Cute
Crazy, but Lindsay just turned TWO. I can remember the day she was born like it was yesterday. Same goes for her first birthday. It is alarming and depressing at just how fast time seems to fly these days and how quick our kids are growing up. All three of them are literally growing like…

Oh So Clever…
Since I’m sure you are all waiting on pins and needles to hear the chosen name of our new house, here it is: NEFERLAND. Really, there was no question. As soon as my dad threw that one out there – we knew that was it. Totally funny and totally fitting. The house is ruled by…
