My dad, brother, and sis-in-law came over for the birthday weekend (which I don’t have any pictures of yet bc Brad was the photographer for the weekend…which I’m VERY thankful for. I’ll post some when I get them from him). Brad and Dad helped Doug on phase 2 of the new deck (Doug has lots… Continue reading Just a few reasons why we love Oppie, Uncle Brad, & Aunt Steph

A little boy's loves
When you’re a little boy, what can beat discovering your belly button and shoving your entire fist in your mouth to eat the 2 cheerios that are in your hand? Not much… (p.s. I’m figuring out some positives and negatives of my couch being on this side of the living room…positive: I can see a… Continue reading A little boy's loves
They grow up so fast
I went to my doctors appointment today and when I got home I walked in to find Steven with earbuds in listening to music on Doug’s phone! Steven loved it and I have to admit that it was SO cute watching him dance to the music we couldn’t hear. He’s such a daddy’s boy!!
Fun for the whole family
I was blessed by an incredible gift basket from Mary Gasque, one of Doug’s very sweet clients (whom I’ve never even met!). He told me that a client had something for me, but I never expected the huge basket that he brought in! It was awesome! Macy’s eyes were huge when Doug brought it in…she… Continue reading Fun for the whole family

Here Macy is “tying a bow” (aka making my pants super tight) and Steven’s trying to turn my belly… Continue reading Sometimes
Our Exterminator
Macy used to be scared of bugs…not just normal scared…I’m talking a fly buzzed by her face once and she screamed like a girl and started crying. Obviously she’s gotten over a little of this fear (at least of microscopic bugs)…that or she’s seen Doug and I kill one too many bugs with our shoes.
My Loves
Just Chillin'
We are loving our dog-free deck. The kids ate all 3 meals outside today. Usually Macy lingers outside longer than the rest of us. This afternoon Steven, Doug, and I came in after lunch while Macy stayed out as usual. Doug went back in the kitchen and caught her relaxing in my lounge chair (aka… Continue reading Just Chillin'
I Cheated
We have had so many yummy desserts come into our house in the last week and a half that I’ve been on my challenge and I haven’t been tempted by any…until last night. My neighbor Jessie had gone to the grocery store and bought me the cutest little carton of Ben & Jerry’s that I’d… Continue reading I Cheated
