After months of waiting, Stephen (and I) finally made it to the Colts vs. Cardinals game! We had seats in row 19 near the fifty yard line. While we had great seats, the game didn’t live up to our expectations–to say the least. It’s a good thing we celebrated that first (and only) field goal… Read More Colts Love
Silas (Buzz Lightyear) and Cooper (Sheriff Woody) invited their friends over for a combined Toy Story birthday party on Saturday. We threw a big bash to celebrate Silas’s 3rd and Cooper’s 1st birthday. It was happy chaos! The family room was decorated with clouds to mimic the wallpaper in Andy’s Toy Story bedroom. Each cloud… Read More To Infinity & Beyond!
At our CBC Ladies’ Bible Study meeting last Thursday night, Jen encouraged each of us to make a list of 100 things we’re thankful for and then to pray that list back to God. Last night I sat down and made my list. It took some real work! While I could have just written down… Read More 100 Things
Stephen and I agree that although yesterday was Silas’s birthday, he seemed to turn three a couple weeks ago. As we watch our darling boy grow, we’ve noticed that he often reaches a plateau in his development, and then all of the sudden, he jumps up to the next level. It seems to always take… Read More Three Years Old
Cooper, you are my darling. You love to snuggle with Mommy, and I’m so happy to have a cuddlebug! Your chubby cheeks and squishable tummy make my day. You walk all over the place, and walking is now your default mode of transportation We call your head the “velvet bowling ball.” When Daddy comes to… Read More The Velvet Bowling Ball
Every Tuesday Stephen heads downtown to the office of the Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC). GPEC is one of GreenLoop’s clients, and Stephen is scheduled to manage their IT needs on a weekly basis, so he’s been able to get to know the GPEC employees. When GPEC announced its annual dinner, GreenLoop offered to pay… Read More Formal Dinner
We’re ready for the Colts vs. Broncos game tonight! While we love Peyton Manning, we’re cheering for the Colts and wearing our colors with pride!
Cooper is walking! He took a few starter steps last month, but now at 10 months, he has officially begun walking. Last weekend he gained a lot of confidence and decided, “I can do this walking thing! Look at me go.” Our visit to the children’s museum and the farm must have motivated him to… Read More Excuse Me, Biped Coming Through!
This past Saturday we giddily headed north for some fall fun (and fall weather) at Mortimer Family Farms near Prescott, AZ. Last summer we spotted the farm on our way to Prescott. It’s situated in a valley with mountains on either side. The huge old trees on the farm caught our eye, and we knew… Read More Down on the Farm
This past Saturday was Museum Day, an annual event where museums all over the country offer free admission. Stephen and I took advantage of this free event back in 2009 during our unemployment stage of life, so when my friend Kristy suggested we pick out a museum and go together, I was totally up for it!… Read More Visit to the “Zee-um”
