Delaney went in for her one-year appointment last week. She weighed in at a “pleasant” 28 pounds and 2 ounces. Her height, thank goodness, is 31.5″ and her head is 19″ around. So, her pediatrician saw the worried look on my face, and he said, “She is fine. Don’t worry.” You see, I have worried [...]

Mackenzie was thrilled to have the chance to cheer with Daddy’s school cheerleading team. She spent the entire first half on the sidelines cheering…
perfecting her Tomahawk Chop,
and trying new stunts. Check out the Liberty Heel Stretch…
FYI…she almost did it better than I could in high school! Anyway, it was a special [...]

If it weren’t for the green hose behind him, I’d be super impressed.
Then and Now

I was thinking the other day about how much my life has changed (as I was driving to work and listening to the Disney Princess SingAlong DVD playing for my kids). Then, meaning before kids, and now, after having my girls.
Then, I would listen to my morning shows on the radio on the way to [...]
Mackenzie’s First (Official) Day of School

Right at 9:15am, the teacher emerged from the doors and asked the kids to line up. Mackenzie turns to me, gives me a kiss, and says, “See you later, Momma. I love you!” That was it. She rushed over to line up (her back to the camera and her princess backpack worn proudly ). I’d [...]
Delaney is 1 Today…

There it is…the moment our Delaney Jo entered the world. The light shining down on her as she emerged from me entered our lives. The very last moment she was literally still attached to me. I believe this is one of the most precious pictures I have of Delaney, as it captures the moment this [...]

Today was Meet the Teacher Day. Two more days until the “official” start of nursery school. Yet, I stand there and my eyes well up as I look at my girl…standing proudly with her Princess backpack and wearing her new school clothes. She is soooo ready, and it is as if she knows it. She [...]

You are five…and growing up so quickly! We love you!
It won’t be long until you are cruising around with all the pretty girls in your own sweet ride (and more than likely NOT a Barbie Jeep).
Party Time!

The rain ceased, the clouds parted, and the sun came out for Delaney’s first birthday party. We had a wonderful day, and Delaney had a blast. Although we kept the party small (space and our recent return to work being the main reasons), there was no shortage of good times, good conversations, and a many [...]

Ahhh, Summer. You were good to me this year. I thank you for…
*The priceless moments with my husband and daughters
*The relaxation I so desperately needed after my toughest class in 12 years
*Giving the right amount of sunshine for my cottonwoods to grow rapidly (to replace the dying ash trees)
*Another incredible season at my [...]
