Spring Pictures

The boys had their first pictures done together at school a few weeks ago. I thought they turned out really cute and of course bought all of them! :) I couldn't resist! Could you have picked out which one not to purchase?!

Snow Day

A tad late on posting our snow day pics, but better late than never.

Jackson soaked in every last second he could of our 24 hr snow! It as a bit of a challenge rotating on Josh and I being outside with him and then inside with Kiptyn but we were both able to play with J in the snow. He loved it and we were so glad he got in one snow day this year!

Kiptyn enjoyed watching his brother from our front door.

Had to bundle him up for 2 seconds to get a picture of his first snow.

After playing outside we got the boys all snuggled up and enjoyed some hot cocoa and a short movie.

Love that we had at least one good snow this year, but definitely hoping that it is over! Ready for spring!

Confessions of a soccer wife

I must confess I did have butterflies in my stomach today!

It was our first game and it was at home! Getting the boys and I dressed in our Spartan attire made me a proud soccer wife!

Boy do we love this coach!
Jackson pulled up a chair and Kiptyn's stroller to get a front row shot of the game. He is literally up against the fence!

I also must confess I am SO blessed with family. They are some proud soccer moms! I'm continually thankful to have help during the games. I thought having 2 kids this season I wouldn't get to watch any of the game but I had so many hands to help! Thanks moms!

Kiptyn's first High School ball game! He did amazing!

Game ended in a tie 1-1. Still working hard and looking forward to a great season! Go Spartans!

Kiptyn Diaries - 6mo

Hello all,

Kiptyn here, and guess what! I am 6 months old now! I'm getting to be quite a big boy.

-I got a good checkup from the doctor. I weigh 15.5 lbs now and still have a little eczema.
-I'm still rolling over and scooting in circles now. Trying to get the whole crawling thing down.
-I'm eating stage 1 foods and boy do I love me some fruit.



-I love to babble. Especially saying Dada, momma, and bubba!



-I can sit up all by myself and play.

-I have experienced my first snow. I got bundled up just to go outside for 1 minute! Mommy made me watch Jackson from inside where it was warm.

-I absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my Johnny Jump-up! It's my happy place!

Being a baby is so much fun!

Til next time,

-Kiptyn

First & Last

Just a guess,...but I'm thinking we may have gotten our first AND last snow this winter!

Dear Mother Nature, Please educate me on the last time we had snow one day and four days later being 70 degrees? I'm not complaining though. I loved spending time outside in the snow and at the park with the boys all in one week! Pretty neat!

It's about that time..

Are you ready for some futbol?!

Praying for a great spring season!

To my fellow soccer wives,...we are praying and rooting for your teams as always (especially since we don't play you-hehe)!

February Phone Reel

A look at the month of February (according to my phone):

Kip LOVES to bounce, it's his new favorite thing to do!

My Valentines day present from Josh,...although we said we weren't doing gifts.


Our annual IHOP/Movie VDay Date with the Dowdy's!

That's right, these 2 men did go see "The Vow"!

Hanging out at Lifeway...

We took Jackson and "Baby Ryan" to the circus. The kiddos did awesome!

We had a sneaky Saturday morning intruder! :)

Always nice to have a little help packing lunches.

Cannot even believe February is already flying by!
