I wanted to share some of my favorite photos from our recent family photo shoot documenting Shayne turning a year old! These photos were taken by the very talented Jaime Hayes at a local park. I just love how they turned out! Jaime was able to capture Kolton and Shayne in some of their cutest …
When you have small children, Summer is the greatest season of the year, especially in sunny California! Having a pool right in our backyard, I feel like we just stare at it and wait for summer to come. When it is finally here, we are so anxious for backyard BBQ’s and pool parties with all …
Shayne loves books! We read to her every night, and as soon as she sees her book, she squeals with delight. One of her favorites is Eric Carle’s The Very Hungry Caterpillar. She loves the colors and beautiful pictures so I decided it would be an adorable first birthday theme! I knew with this theme, the …
My baby girl turned ONE on Tuesday, May 31st! I am still in disbelief because I feel like I was just released from the hospital and am introducing her to her new home. Where did the time go? While this past year has been extremely exhausting adjusting to life with two little ones, it has …

We recently decided to enroll Kolton is swim class an extra day, so he now goes Tuesdays and Thursdays. This will probably only be temporary, but we feel it is important to get him in the water as much as possible if we want him ready for summer. He has had absolutely no objections to …
Even as young as 10 months old, our baby girls have already shown quite an interest in dolls and stuffed animals. They love to talk to them and snuggle them! It is really adorable! Shayne laughs hysterically when the especially fluffy animals are in her face, just like she does with dogs. I hope she always …
Shayne has had a pretty exciting month. She traveled to Tucson again to see her Great-Grandmother, her Auntie Nicole and to celebrate her soon to be here baby cousin! She was the hit of everywhere we went. She was even able to sit through long lunches out at restaurants, as long as she had some …
