We have been married for over 7 years. We were high school sweethearts and our love grew from there. We always knew we wanted a family and were thrilled when we found out we were expecting the first time. Cohen joined our family and our life has never been the same!! Kendall joined us a little while later and we were amazed at how different girls can be from boys :) We have now added another little character to our zoo. We are so thankful for God's blessings and can't wait to see where He takes us.

New attraction at the zoo

This weekend the zoo added a new attraction - a swing set!!!! It may sound like something so small but for me with kids on different sleep schedules and more daycare kids this summer it gets kinda tricky getting the kids down to the park. It's so nice to now have one right in the back yard!! Our neighbors and us went in on it together and Keith and the guys spent most of the day Sunday putting it together.


Oh boy!! That's a lot of pieces!!


Trying to lay out the pieces and form somewhat of a system


And they are off...









Cohen was the first to test the slide



Rhea was the first for the swing



The finished product







All done :)
It has been so fun already and I am looking forward to all the memories it will bring!!

Memorial day weekend

We had so much fun this past weekend. Most of it was spent with our awesome neighbors/dear friends!! We have been spending lots of time with them lately and have really enjoyed developing our friendships! Saturday we spent the day grilling out, eating good food, playing ladderball and sitting around a campfire.


The food :)



Someone LOVES food!!!!

May 2013

I have found it is a lot easier to keep up with the blog during the winter, when there is nothing to do but to blog. Now a days we are outside ALL THE TIME and so super busy. Which is just the way I like it :) WE have been enjoying our awesome May weather - even if it is back in forth in temperatures :) So here are so pictures of the fun we have been having!
