What a great weekend! Friday night we had more of the same rain we have had for weeks. But Erik and I caught a camera pic of this great rainbow while out cruisin’ in the Jeep. Sunday Jon and Noemi came over for a barbecue, and fire in the backyard. Erik gave Liam some great …

Jaren
I just wanted to say publicly how lucky I am to have Jaren in my life. He is the most amazing husband, father and friend. He is so thoughtful and loves to serve anyone in need. He is such a patient father to our boys and a great example to them. I am the luckiest …
H-dog’s School Program
Henry’s year end school program was held recently at the Draper Theatre. He is so fun to watch. He sings so loud it is easy to know if he is really singing, or lip syncing! He really gets into the all the hand motions and actions. He loves to get his groove on! This first …

Two Wheels!
I took the training wheels off of Erik’s bike last Summer, but he was never interested. He has always been really into his scooters, especially since he got his new red razor scooter for his birthday. I guess he decided that today was the day of the bike. He marched into the garage, grabbed his …

After almost three weeks in the NICU KeAnne and Pete took Andrew and Cooper on their very first car ride all the home! Wonder when the first motorcycle ride will happen??? Love you guys!
Summer!
We have all been witnessing the quintessential signs of the beginning of spring/summer. April showers bringing May flowers, more time after work to kick the ball around with the boys because the sun is waiting for us to set, my neighbor parking their RV on their front lawn. And, perhaps the most defining, and definitely …
Political Test
I randomly came across this political test while searching for completely unrelated items on the web. I found it very interesting. We all have defined ourselves politically in one way or another. Some of us because we attempt to be educated and involved politically, and others because of tradition. What ever your reasons for your …
