Exciting Announcement!!!

Our family has a VERY exciting announcement to make!!!!

We decided to wait and find out the gender of our little one at birth so that we can experience that anticipation and excitement!!! 

Here are our ultrasound pictures of our little one. I am 19 weeks along and the due date is January 6, 2015!!

"For this child, I have prayed"

A huge milestone!!

Our first child going to Kindergarten!! Logan was so excited to start his first day of Kindergarten, and all day school, this morning! He told me, "Don't worry Mom, I'll be back home soon." 

We are so proud of our sweet, kind, independent, strong, loving, smart little (ok, not so little!) boy!! He is going to do amazing things in this life <3

Celebrating our Independence

Happy 3rd Birthday Landon!!

Landon decided that he wanted to go to Legoland for his 3rd birthday. We wanted to go to CA before it got too hot so we spent a weekend over there last month. We had a blast with the boys and made a bunch of fun memories!!

For Landon's 3rd birthday on Thursday, we kept it low key. We invited over his Auntie Kristin and cousins to eat pizza, cake and go swimming. It was a great night!! This little boy sure is *LOVED*

Happy 3rd birthday to our passionate, loving, snuggly, funny, energetic, talkative, happy little boy!! We love you so much!!

8 years down....

A whole lifetime to go!!!

 Happy 8th Anniversary to my sweet loving husband who is my rock, comforter, encourager, foundation, inspiration, provider, lover and who I could not live this life without!

💕 Always and Forever 💕

Graduating from Preschool

Next step... Kindergarten!

I am still reeling in the fact that we will have a kindergartner in a few short months. Time has gone WAY too fast!! 

Logan tells us that he is "more than ready for Kindergarten"! He has excelled this year in Preschool and I think he is just gaining momentum. I'm just worried how Landon (and Mommy!) are going to handle Logan being at school full days five days a week.... 

Logan has so much love and support around him! Mommy, Daddy, Landon, Auntie Kristin, Kyler, and Brayden were all at his Preschool Graduation to help him celebrate his big day! We LOVE our family :)

Mrs. Slama and Miss Jessica were Logan's teachers this year! They were amazing, patient, encouraging, thoughtful, and always there to listen to Logan's *many* superhero stories! Such an amazing year... Cannot wait to see what the next year holds for our sweet, intelligent, kind, loving, thoughtful, generous little boy! Go tackle the world buddy!!

Our boys' dream vacation

Landon will be turning 3 years old in a few short weeks. I just cannot believe it!! We asked him what he wanted to do for his birthday... And with a little (ok... LOTS of) coaxing from his big brother, he decided that he wanted to go to Legoland. So off to Legoland we went this last weekend!

Driving to California :-)

Yay for Legoland!!!

Landon was so proud of his "Happy Birthday" button

They BOTH loved all the rides! 

The real set from The LEGO movie - SO cool!!!

Maui Vacation

Since it was my 30th birthday on the 14th, Chuck spoiled me with a 6 day, kid-free vacation to Maui! It was been the best vacation I have ever had!! A huge thank you to Grandma and Grandpa for hanging out with the boys while we enjoyed some R&R! Here are some of the many photos from our trip to Maui.

We enjoyed many amazing restaurants with outstanding fresh fish dishes but Mama's Fish House was absolutely phenomenal!!

We spent a whole day driving the Road to Hana, hiking, and enjoying the amazing, luscious, green landscape of Maui.

We had a blast at the Old Lahiana Luau! Such a neat experience!

We also went out on a boat to do some snorkeling and Snuba (being able to go down about 15 feet under water without having to truly scuba dive). Chuck loved it! I decided the beach is the better place for me ;-)

And of course, we did a lot of relaxing on the beach - my favorite!! 

I found my "happy place"!!!
