Two. The number of pregnancies I’ve been blessed with. Four. The amount of pregnancy progress photos I’ve taken this time around. A dozen or so. The amount of times I’ve heard “oh my gosh! You’re pregnant?! I had no idea.” They tell you that the second pregnancy is different but until you are in that…
We drove up the rocky drive and walked back to the barn. There were animals everywhere – sheep and their baby lambs by the dozen, rabbits and ducks among other exotic birds, a few rams and a horse. Growing up in country side Kansas I was in heaven. Ryan looked at me and said “If…
A couple weekends ago we got to spend the weekend away in Winter Park. SOA had an event up there that Ryan volunteered for and we got to go along! Have I mentioned how much I love that company?! Anyways, we had a lovely time. He worked two half day shifts, one each day, so…
Last Friday we went to the doctor for my high risk appointment to make sure everything looked fabulous with the baby’s heart and to find out the gender of this sweet babe. Everything looked fantastic and we soon found out what we are having. Lucky for me, my super dear friend, Candy, of Verte Photography was…

Being a mom has really built more excitement for me as I watch A grow and her anticipation and excitement for the holidays grows with every year that comes our way. We have been getting the “wows” and “ahh”s this year as we drive by lights or discover new traditions. We’ve been building traditions little…
I felt like November was over in a flash this year. We ended it with a weekend filled with friends visiting from Kansas and Thanksgiving with my family hosted here in our home. Never in my life have I decorated for Christmas before Thanksgiving but we did a week early this year. There is something…
We’ve been doing so much celebrating around here lately. First we had a birthday celebration for A when my dad came into town complete with a trip to the mountains, a quick trip to Toys-R-Us and cupcakes & presents. The next weekend we had a party filled with family and fun. We had so much…
