Skyler bifs it!

Running full speed down the driveway, Skyler tripped and skidded down the pavement on her knees, elbows, chin and teeth.  She came screaming her way into the house covered in blood and panicked. Once we cleaned her up, it was not as bad as it seemed but the poor little thing just wanted…


Pebbles

  I mean....really???  Leif caught this shot today when he came up for lunch.  She melts my heart.


Sweet brother

If I haven't mentioned it before, I will now: Liam is totally enamoured with his baby sister. He is quick to meet her every need (hence, in my opinion, why she is not yet crawling!), carries her around like a doll, plays with her, snuggles her, kisses her, comforts her, makes her laugh and just…


Liam is Student of the Week

So darn fun to see Liam in his element today with all his buddies (including the little girls that LOVE him). The highlight was Leif - he gets the best dad in the world award as he shared with Liam's class what he does for a living - "I color on the computer."  Liam was beaming as Leif…


LJ our baseball star

I think this is his sport. He is loving it and he is good...really...it's not just a proud mom bragging. He really is a great player and he seems so confident out there. I love to see this side of him!


Skyler is a five year old!

How did it happen? Where did the time go? It's so cliche to say it but it's so so true - it goes so damn fast!!!  I can't believe that my sweet, easy going, flexible little baby has turned into a sweet, easy going, flexible little girl with so much personality, confidence and presence!…


Killin slugs...

And here was our dinner time conversation: Leif (starving) sits down to eat his dinner and gets two bites in and says: "why is there water all over the table under my plate?" Liam says: "oh, because I sliced up a slug right there and tried to clean it up with water but it spilled" Leif (totally…


Fun day at the beach

It was a beautiful Sunday so after church and Costco, we walked down to Jusnita beach for more fun in the sun (apparently we can't get enough). Presley slept in the stroller as the kids road their scooters and Leif and I peacefully walked the hill (ok, not really - we stressed out the…


Happy 10 Year Anniversary Mom and Dad

We managed to plan the getaway of our dreams only 2 hours away.  Leif and I headed to Crystal Mountain to stay in the honeymoon suite at Alta Crystal for three days!  There was an avalanche at Crystal this last week and we almost cancelled thinking that the mountain was not in ski…
