Everyday Life
We’ve started setting up for Halloween! We spent last weekend getting the homemade scarecrow out and put up. We had to dig around to find some of the parts after the move. Landon was super excited. He was also a great helper! After that Brad mowed the lawn. Landon has a bubble mower and loves…

Everyday Life
The last two weekends we’ve gone out to 2 different public events in our area. Some Saturdays we just stay home and lounge around the house. Brad and I love that. Landon doesn’t do too well with that. He gets too stir crazy (read: get’s into trouble) unless we’re home with some major plans of…

On staying home {maybe longer now}
At the begninning of the new school year I wrote about my feelings of displacement and how I missed being in a classroom. I really struggled with where my place in life should be. Living the life of a working mom and having a taste of a stay at home mom during my maternity leave…

Ball Themed Birthday Party
Riley turned 1 – in case you didn’t catch the last post about it {here}. He loves balls. He’s pretty much obsessed with them. When he first learned to crawl he would chase balls around the house bat at it, crawl after it then bat it again to go chase it some more. It’s a…

Happy Birthday Riley
One year ago today Riley came into our lives. It has been such a crazy year with job changes for both Brad and I and moving. It’s funny how they say the time with the second goes by so fast. It has. Really fast. Life with the 3 year old and 1 year old is…

Soccer games and Christmas lights
Other than our normal busyness of activities and housework we have a few new big-ish things going on. Brad has an obsession with Christmas lights. We really all have taken on his obsession and love for Christmas. Yes, I am seriously talking about Christmas and it’s only August. Because we’ve been working on Christmas plans for the…

Rough days
Preface: When looking for an image to go with this post, since obviously I was not in the “lets take a picture of my screaming child for my blog” mood I came across this website… weird but funny and bound to make you feel better if you’re having a bad day too, at least for…

Swimming lessons
You might remember how Landon was afraid of the water? It wasn’t until about 2 months ago that we actually got him to get into the water. Before that he was just too afraid. We also now have a gym membership so we are able to go swim in their heated pools really regularly. We…

We’ve been busy the last few days. July until September is a busy time for us. With the boy’s birthdays in back to back months the planning and prepping starts early. Landon is having a Curious George birthday party – it is one of his favorite shows he gets to watch every now and then.…
