We recently had our sister, Tera, and her two precious girls (Sadie and Ruby) with us for 10 days ~ which we have concluded is NOT long enough! We crammed in almost every possible activity, making the most of every moment together and had an absolute blast together. Lets get on with the pictures and […]
Ty
A Magical Night
A couple of weeks ago we got to take the girls to their first carnival! Our little town of St. Joe hosts the Venetian Festival every year and it supposedly brings in about 200,000 visitors every year (that’s what I read online anyways)… and everything on the internet is true, right? We chose not to […]
Lazy Hazy Crazy Days of Summer!

I can have everything I want!
John 15:7 (NLTSE) “…you may ask for anything you want, and it will be granted!” Many of us are familiar with these words of Jesus in the gospel of John. We read them and think about how much God loves us and that he desires to give good gifts to us as his children. Generally […]
Some Recent Firsts
August has been jam-packed with fun, family vacationing, and celebrating. And with that has come many first for us and our girls. It’s funny to me how such joyous events can bring that little lump in your throat because it reminds you that time is so short. Kids are growing faster than you want them […]
Sick Day Drive
As many of you know the shenanigans aren’t feeling all that well this week. We’ve been lying low and staying pretty close to home the last couple days. Enough so that we’re getting tired of just being at home. So, Nya and I (ty) decided to go for a little drive in my truck to […]

I’m A Rebel
It’s here! Christmas came early for me this year and I got a Canon Rebel XSi. I’m super stoked to have a nice camera to get a little more artsy in my photographs and step up the quality a notch. That being said, I know that equipment is only a small part of actually taking […]
Fireworks Fun
Today we had the privelage of taking Nya and Elli to see fireworks for the first time! It was really a fun experience. Nya was big eyed the whole time pointing at each new display and I probably souded like a complete dork…”Ooooh, look at that one, it’s so blue and pretty!” I must admit […]
