Pulled Over

Picture for effect only, I don’t think we have roads like that in Kenai. I got pulled over this morning… I was in town on my way to work at 5:10am and forgot to switch off my high beams. Apparently that’s an indicator of intoxication. Intoxicated I wasn’t, sleepy I was. Let that be a […]

Officially Fall

Today was the first official day of fall so I thought it would be appropriate to put up a couple leafy photos… The last couple weeks have been crazy times for the four of us. I’m definitely glad that I’ve had this time off. From having a baby to taking our first family trip to […]

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 […]

Five saltines in a minute?

It’s that time of the night again… Matt dares me to eat something and as always, I go for it. OK, this one’s not near as bad as yesterday. It’s a little known fact that it’s extremely difficult to eat five soda crackers in one minuteSo there’s really not much to my story other than […]

That’s not a Habañero. Is it?

It’s that time of the week again; Matt dares me to eat something and I naively oblige. This time it was a little red pepper that was sitting on the counter. No monetary incentives since we didn’t know if it would be hot or not, just adventure. I took a bite off the end and […]

Got That Sinking Feeling

Yesterday I took the Rhino from our house out to my parents place in Sterling to get out and enjoy the day. Niki met me there with the trailer. If you don’t know, the trails between here and there are not for the faint of heart. There are mud holes after creeks after mud holes… […]
