It is with deep sadness and a broken heart that I write this. Scott unexpectedly lost his Dad last night. To Dad and Papa Tractor, we love you so very, very much. You will be dearly missed!

Olivia Paige is 1!
Posted in Baby & Child, Family on February 10, 2012 | 4 Comments »
This week has been a happy one but also quite emotional for me personally. Celebrating Olivia’s special first birthday this week means that she isn’t a baby anymore though she will always be my baby. My tears are flooding through just writing this. I can’t help but think of the roller coaster of a day [...]
Girls Weekend Getaway

This past year, my parents gave the “boys” a fishing trip and the “girls” got a shopping getaway for birthdays. I think this is the best idea as it makes for a truly memorable experience that can be cherished for a lifetime. Mom, Dawn, Hillary, and I went to San Antonio for a weekend of [...]

To set the tone of our Christmas weekend, the weather was very wintery (cold and wet) which made for perfect Christmas weather. That is the only time I like wintery weather ! We had a wonderful time with family, ate too much, played a lot, snuggled inside, and loved every second of it. I’m so [...]

Things were definitely stirring in our home the night before Santa came. Getting the girls ready for bed was especially exciting for both the girls and us knowing that Santa was near. And then it happened! Santa came and he left some very fun toys for the girls. Avery wakes up very early so we [...]

My family starts celebrating Christmas weeks before Christmas day. My mom has a large extended family so it allows everyone to get together without having other obligations. We celebrated Christmas early in December with my mom’s aunts, uncles, cousins, etc (more like an extended family reunion) and then again the next day with my aunts [...]

Christmas is this weekend and it’s such a fun time with the girls. Avery really has grasped the spirit of Christmas this year. This morning St. Nick filled the girls stockings with goodies. He came about two weeks late so he must have been really, really busy making his rounds this year. I acquired a [...]

This past weekend was cold and rainy but we had two family Christmas parties which sure did brighten things up. Matt and Dawn had a professional shoot scheduled for this weekend but had to cancel due to weather so they asked me to do their Christmas pictures for them. I was excited to do them! [...]

The Sunday after Thanksgiving, we gathered all our energy and decorated our home with Christmas pretties. Our outdoor lights were already up thanks to someone we hired but we turned on some Christmas tunes and decked out our tree and house. I didn’t put out my village this year because I don’t have anywhere to [...]

I’m so thankful for my family and our health and well-being! We also got some Facetime with Scott’s family whom were dearly missed. I love this time of year! We [...]
