...Our amazing life...

My photo
We met in June of 2007, dated for 7 months & got engaged - January 1, 2008. We were married on July 26, 2008 and welcomed our daughter, Kaitlynn Leane into the world on August 20, 2009. We said hello & goodbye to our precious son, baby Joshua on December 5, 2011. We are blessed knowing that we'll be with him again one day in Heaven. We also have two sweet beagles, Willa (4) and Sadie (1). God has truly blessed our family in numerous ways! We both have extremely wonderful and loving parents, plus amazing friends! We couldn't be any happier!

Gingerbread Men & Friends

Kelly, Kaitlynn & I baked some gingerbread men & friends today! It was the perfect day to bake cookies - it was cold, windy, and SNOWING outside!! After our cookies were finished in the oven and had some time to cool, we let Kaitlynn "decorate" her own and then try it out for the first time. She definitely enjoyed her cookie! Check out some pictures & video from our afternoon of baking!

Before the decorating!

We have a WALKER!

This past Friday, December 12, 2010 - Kaitlynn decided to stand up in the middle of the floor and take about 8-10 steps completely on her own. She did this twice on Friday morning.... Saturday rolled around and she was a bit hesitant towards walking, except for about 2-3 steps at a time. However on Sunday, Kelly & I were able to get her to walk to & from both of us - about 8 steps each way. If she fell down, she'd stand right back up and finish walking to us! Once she got to either Kelly or myself, she would get so excited about her accomplished steps! It was absolutely precious. We are so proud of our little girl for her big step in toddler-hood!

Check out the video below. It definitely does NOT do Kaitlynn justice with how well she is walking, but it'll do until you can see her in person :o)

Decorating for Christmas!

When we first moved into our new home, I was so excited about the anticipation of decorating our house for Christmas!! Kelly & I decided to focus on the inside of our home this year. Next year we will start working on the outside! These pictures don't do our house justice, but we hope you enjoy a little insight into our home for the holidays!


Kaitlynn wanted to help get our Christmas tree put together!

Kaitlynn's grandpa came by for some playtime!
Worked out well.... Kelly & I were able to decorate our tree!

Our family room Christmas tree - 9 ft. tall :o)
I have to admit.... I'm in love with our tree! The lights are on ALL day & night!
