An Owl Themed First Birthday!
This weekend was Quinn’s first birthday party so Dyce and I ventured out for a couple of hours. As I mentioned Friday, I have been feeling less than stellar so it was a bit much for me to get myself and Dyce together and out the door. By the time I got there I literally felt like I was going to pass out but thankfully I managed to snap a few pics before calling it a day. Quinn’s mom,...

PSA
Public Service Announcement:
You can still get mastitis after you have been breastfeeding for over 9 months!!!
Stupid me thought I was in the clear and was an expert at keepin’ the kid on the tit…no problem. Now, here I am barely able to move the past 24 hours and my head feels like it’s going to explode. I just pray this doesn’t put an end to my bf days.
Mastitis: 3

Scare Tactics
This past weekend I was fortunate enough to spend time with my two favorites, Jen and Claire. Jen and her husband were in town for a show and stayed the night with us. We got up Saturday morning and made a Starbucks run with the babe then drove around in the rain looking at houses we can’t afford.
After Claire got out of the gym she met up and we enjoyed a little girl time.
Let me just...

That's A Wrap
This weekend is Quinn’s 1st birthday party!!! Her parents, John and Emily, have been dear friends of ours for years. I decided I would try and get a little crafty this evening and customize her wrapping paper.
It was my first attempt at doing this and I discovered a few things that worked and some that didn’t. I’ll let you be the judge in deciding how it turned out….

you may not know this for my wife is a modest woman, but jennifer davis is the type of person that impacts lives. she’s the kind of woman that you meet and remember exactly what she looked like the first time you saw her. what she said the first time she spoke to you. what ridiculous joke she told that made you laugh. what outrageous outfit she was wearing that only she could pull off....

Pandemonium
Ever feel like your life is completely out of control? That everything around you is in utter disarray and you’re not quite sure how to claw your way out?
This is me in a nutshell, lately.
I recall a time when I was on top of things and could tell you (from memory) every single thing that was on my calendar for any given month.
Those days are long gone.
All too often I am forgetting...

Greener, Cleaner, Healthier - A How To for...
So, remember my resolutions? Yea, those.
Well, so far so good…..I have not had one sip of soda, I am balls-deep (if that’s possible) in my Total Money Makeover, and I have started making and cleaning with my made-from-scratch cleaning supplies!
Usually I hate writing informative posts that provide little to no room for adorable pictures of my family and friends, but I am willing to...

WatchThe few hours we get to spend together each day, just the three of us, are the hours that hold me together. Play time is so much fun when filled with the infectious laughter of a child. It’s funny how we, as parents, will do almost anything to make our children smile. I know it won’t always be this easy but it just means we must try a little harder.
I would gladly make a fool of...

Nine Months!
Happy 9 months old sweet boy! This past month has been the MOST fun. Your dad and I have enjoyed every minute watching you grow and we can’t believe what a big personality you have started to develop.
Things you love: paper, cell phones, remotes, keys, opening and closing doors, the coat rack, mommy’s hair, Rya’s bone, bath time, taking naps on dad, vanilla soy yogurt,...

Resolutions
Oh resolutions!
Usually I don’t like to consider my resolutions to be “resolutions”, but more a starting point for a lifestyle change (which is basically what they are).
This year I decided to commit to small changes in my life that would not only have an effect on my health and well being, but my family’s as well. Here are the four lifestyle changes I am committing to...

Greetings 2012!!!
Sorry things were so quiet around here the past few days, I managed to catch some gnarly stomach bug New Years Eve night and had to call it an early night. I promise to catch you up on my resolutions for this year, but for now I wanted to share a few snaps from NYE at Claire and Brandon’s house (and of course it was an 80’s theme)….
How hysterical is Claire’s dress?!!
