The boys dug right in to their Valentine’s Day goodies when they got home from school. Nash was the only one who was assigned to decorate his own Valentine’s bag and of course, LEGOs had to be involved. The boys sprawled out on the front porch to compare their loot….
Troy and I went out on a date the weekend before Valentine’s Day to avoid the crowds on the actual holiday. It’s getting harder and harder to squeeze in those dates amidst the boys’ activities. Nash was the only one that was assigned to decorate a Valentine’s bag for his…
The boys had a four day weekend over President’s Day and we took advantage. The weather was gorgeous so we met up with a bunch of friends at the beach who were also taking advantage of no school. It was our first time experiencing Three Arch Bay, a private beach…
There isn’t a ton for me to document via my phone from the first half of this year because we were down and out most of the time. But I want to record a few things before we move on to an active summer and fall. We didn’t do anything…

This winter, we made messes in the kitchen, frequented the children’s museum, celebrated hat day at school, and rode on a ferris wheel and buffed Nash up on his birthday. Troy gave me a bouquet of new utensils for Valentine’s Day and I enjoyed my two little loves. But we…
When I was growing up, my mom always made homemade Valentines with us. I’ve wanted to continue the tradition because a) I like how meaningful it is b) it creates lasting memories (I still remember the year confetti was placed in each individual card, and the first time my mom…
Happy Valentine’s Day! Blake is very excited to give Valentines to his classmates today. He helped me chop up the crayons and place them in heart molds to be melted. I especially love that he signed each one individually – although it took about a week to do. He wasn’t…
