Which Is Grosser?

…. barf or diarrhea? … or how bout both mixed? Ya, I know. Disgusting. That’s what I got to clean up in Nya’s high chair after finally getting both girls to bed tonight (a tiny miracle in itself). My poor babies are both sick so my day started out with cleaning up puke and ended […]

Who Made The Moon & Stars?

So it turns out I get a lot of praise from the hubby for blogging, which in turn motivates me to do it more! I think I get way more “atta-girls” for blogging than doing the laundry or cooking so I’ve decided I’ll let those things go and spend that extra time blogging every day… […]

This One’s For the Grandparents

Grandma Great Nana Papa Grandma Papa Pastor Jolie Nya’s 1st Ice Cream w/ Grandma & Grandpa Great This blog post is in honor of our favorite babysitters ~ oops I mean grandparents! This morning I had the opportunity to go have coffee with some friends (thanks to my mom watching the girls) and the joke […]

Burning The Midnight Oil

I think I’m starting to understand the true meaning of the statement “Momma burns the midnight oil”. There was an old song with that title and somehow from listening to it I got the impression that “momma burning the midnight oil” went something like this. Momma tucks her beautiful children into bed, turns out the […]

Just another mushy blog from the wife & mom…

So I’m pretty sure I don’t totally understand the whole concept of blogging and what it’s all for… so forgive me if I don’t necessarily follow the right blogging etiquette.  The last time I tried to blog I uploaded 26 pictures (which didn’t end up loading correctly, and why not?) and Ty informed me that […]

The Day Niki Lost Her Wisdom

This is an oldie but a goodie.  Shot back in August of 2004 BC (before children).  Niki had her wisdom teeth removed and I think they took a little more than her teeth…. you be the judge.  This video is fairly long but if you know Niki you’ll enjoy every minute of it.  (If you […]

Elli’s First Trip To The Park

View In High Resolution We had our first trip to the park today as a family of four. It wasn’t the nicest day but we had a fun time for all of the 30 minutes that we were there. Nya is able to get around pretty good and kept saying “BIG” when she’d get up […]

And Then There Were Four…

Well here’s my 1st blog… Niki here. We’re HOME! What a memorable time this is in our lives! Having our first baby was so amazing and life-transforming, and I didn’t think having another one could possibly be as much fun… but I was SO wrong! With #2 I feel so much less intimidated and nervous […]

Our First Morning With Elli

It sure was fun waking up this morning, having a new toy to play with. Last night we had the nurses take Elli for about five hours while we got some good sleep. They were able to get all her tests done so today we can just enjoy our last day in the hospital. It’s […]

The Big Day Comes To A Close

Wow, what a perfect day! We are wiped out but so excited. It is so fun doing this all over again but this time knowing what’s going on. We’ve had two diaper changes, one outfit change because of some spit up and two sneezes. (Down 10 sneezes from Nya’s first day.) And after Niki’s three […]
