Skyler's Birthday Party - 6 years old!!!

Skyler was in her element big time as she glowed with excitement at being the center of attention amongst all of her best friends.  The party was at the Gymnastics Connection and the girls (plus Liam) had a blast running, hopping, cartwheeling, summersaulting and bouncing around the…


Sneaky sneaky

This is how I found them this morning. Do they look guilty or what?  Sure enough, after a bit of tickling, I found the iPad behind them!  Thank goodness they are young and innocent still!!!


Science Fair

Liam and his buddy Maxi, and Skyler and her girlfriend Layla participated in the Science Fair this year. Now some people have ventured as far as to call me crazy and shake their head at me given how hectic things have been for Leif and I over the last couple months with sick…

Papa came to visit this weekend and we just stuck around so the kids could have a ton of down time playing in the neighborhood and relaxing in the house.  Lots of reading on Papa's lap and playing with Papa's duck!


Presley's first official bowl office cream

Valentine's Day

Not only did the kids let us sleep in for Valentines Day, but they left us this note on our door.  We must be doing something right!  So darn sweet.
