When excitement isn't every day

It’s Spring Break in our town… And for the first time in a while, I didn’t overly schedule the kids while they have time off from school. Both Jordan and Cameron were pretty crushed when I told them we decided to cut expenses and skip a beloved week-long theater camp. It’s Harry Potter-theme and Cameron…

VIDEO: Happy New Year from Jordan

What a cool way to end the year. The kids and I enjoyed the very warm weather by going for a run at our elementary school’s track and played on the playground. Jordan showed off how she plays during recess. She’s quite the daredevil. She also told me that when she falls down, she says…

The great outdoors

I have a few traditions… I started them back when I had one child who was tiny and I wanted to get pictures of him for a family calendar. Now I have two kids, a popular and highly anticipated family calendar and an inner desire to have awesome pictures for it. So last week I…

Spring is in the air

I had to pull out the camera yesterday… It was warm and breezy and the flowers are out on the trees and the kids were getting along. Jordan’s arm is getting a rash, but that didn’t stop her from climbing our favorite climbing tree and having fun outside. Enjoy the pictures!

Tummy trouble and snow… Just at a higher level

Just when we thought Jordan’s was healthy, she continues to have tummy troubles. Last week, she spiked a horrible fever mixed with having a hard time keeping medicine down. It was super sad.

Snow day fun

It snowed last night and that means two very happy kids in our household. I woke up with a little girl begging to get her boots on and head out into the snow. So that’s just what both kids did. Jordan and her brother jumped in and ran around in the cold snow and didn’t…

Jordan and I had a chance to go to a picnic with a whole bunch of limb different kids and their families this weekend. It was a lot like the impromptu gathering we had last year except this time it was a little further away from our house and we had even more families! It…

Swinging free

There’s something so remarkable about Spring. It’s a chance to just be who you are. The outdoors do that for all of us if you let it. What’s awesome about the outdoors and Jordan is she is attracted it to during all seasons. She’s happy to wander around in whatever the conditions. (Wet, snowy, windy)…

Biking her way

The weather was sunny and warm-ish enough on the day Randy and I returned home from our vacation to watch the kids rude their bikes outside. Jordan had to wear the new tutu her grandma bought her while riding. She was having so much fun!

The Great Outdoors

It’s refreshing to have a child who is happy to just go outside. Last night she spent 45 minutes or so playing out in the slightly muddy backyard. She spent time on the backyard treehouse and swings. She returned covered in extra dirt in her pretty pink dress… But I won’t complain. I appreciate a…
