WEEK 3: When we were getting ready to head over to swim class, I was a little concerned as to how he would do this week. He kept telling me that he did not want to go. This was heartbreaking to me but I assured him that if he really did not like it when …

Learning To Swim- Week 1 & 2
Kolton has been in a couple of swim classes in the past, but it was always the Mommy and Me classes. They were mainly to get him used to the water and teach him to splash and maybe go under for a couple of seconds. (Read about Shayne’s experience in baby swim class HERE). Now …
What My 3 Year Old Taught Me About Christmas
The holidays are such a magical time in a child’s life. This year, Kolton turned 3 and so I wanted his Christmas to be perfect. This put a lot of pressure on me since it would be our first Christmas waking up at our home and my husband really had not been able to take …
Traveling with Littles – Tucson Trip part 2
The second part of our trip contained much less action. While everyone really enjoyed the excitement of having a full house with an active toddler running around, it was definitely a nice change to have a little quiet and time to relax. Friday, after Curtis and Kolton left (I was of course very sad to …
Traveling with Littles – Tucson Trip part 1
As many parents will tell you, traveling with little ones is not for the faint of heart. We dared to make this feat with Kolton under 3 and Shayne only 5 months old. Luckily we did not choose a destination that was too far of an airplane trip away. We flew into Phoenix from …
Just the Two of Us
Kolton and I used to spend every hour of every day together before our beautiful Shayne arrived. Now, with Kolton in preschool 3 days/week, and much of my time being spent caring for our baby girl, it has become almost impossible for it to just be the two of us anymore. I have recently decided …
Shayne Turns 3 Months!
I cannot even believe that my little angel is no longer a newborn! I wish I could freeze time and keep her this tiny for longer. She is just such a little ball of sunshine! Constantly smiling and trying to talk (sometimes at 4:00AM). She loves making eye contact and chatting and cooing away with …
Kolton’s Goes to Preschool
Selecting a preschool for my son is not something that I took lightly. In the area that we live in, there are many different options, so I wanted to find a preschool that would be a good fit for Kolton and for us as parents. A little over a year ago is when I began …
Adjusting to Life as a Family of Four
It’s only been six weeks since we were blessed with our beautiful baby girl, Shayne, yet somehow our lives have been turned upside down and will never be the same! I could not have imagined how different things would become for our little family, but I am thankful with every breathe in my body for …
Shayne’s Birth Story :: VBAC Success!
I made the mistake of convincing myself that our baby girl would come early. Around 38 weeks was my guess. I should have known better than to think I could actually predict when she would decide she was ready to make her grand entrance. With Kolton, I had him at exactly 39 weeks. This was …
