After Ellie’s last season of soccer I had decided we would wait at least a year before giving it another try. She mostly cried and preferred to roll around with her friends on the field rather than actually play anything that resembled soccer. However, after some coercing from a friend of mine, I succumbed and …

Ellie joins Bear Hollow Preschool
Tuesday was Ellie’s first day in preschool. For some reason, she has gone from my baby to a mini-teenager in what seems like a few short weeks. She is cute, sweet and fun, but at the same time sassy and spunky. I really love the heck out of her and it will be very difficult …
Ellie & Albert
Ellie is a phenomenon in our home and has lots of cute curls. Unfortunately for her, when she wakes up those curls are a ratted mess. It usually takes me until lunch time to convince her to let me comb them and style them. Megan has been learning about Albert Einstein in school recently. Over …
Happy 3rd Birthday Ellie Belle!
My baby turned three today. Can you believe it?! I can’t. She is growing into quite a character. This girl oozes personality. Most days I can’t keep up with her. She can usually be found toting her purse and baby doll while walking over to play with her friends. When she is being particularly sneaky, …
Summer Swimming
At the start of the summer I signed up Claire, Drew and Ellie for swim lessons with a friend of mine, Teri Jolley. She is an amazing instructor and my kids have really progressed. Claire is already a decent swimmer. She mostly worked on her strokes and some survival techniques (treading, dead man float, etc.). …
Thanksgiving Point
This past week me, Drew and Ellie met up with Rachel and her kids and G’ma Jan and went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point. Due to my hectic schedule it wasn’t perfect timing for me and honestly I wasn’t really thrilled to be going. However, it turned out to be a near perfect …
Ellie’s Photo Shoot
A good friend of mine, Samantha, began doing photography a year or two back and happened to come into town when I felt the need to get Ellie’s “two year-old” photos taken. She does amazing work and you can see more of her stuff at Thunell Photography. Of course the weather had taken a turn …
The last bit of baby I had left
I have been promising Ellie a “big girl” bed for a while now, but I didn’t want to do it until she was finally potty trained. Now that she has overcome that obstacle we proceeded forward. I’ll be honest, I haven’t really wanted to switch her. I like believing she is still my baby. It …
Poo Potty
Yep, that is what we are often hearing around our house, “poo potty mommy”. We have finally potty-trained our six and final child. I can’t say that I will miss potty training my kids, because honestly, I won’t. However, it is sure a great feeling to know I am doing it for the last time. …
