Summer Vacation

Once the school year was through, mom & the girls headed out for a special trip to visit family. We had a great time playing at the zoo, exploring the museum, going to parks, playing at the pool, shopping & just hanging out. It was a great way to spend the summer. The only thing that would have made it better...having Jeremy along.

Between school, visits from Grandma, birthdays, softball, hiking, & fun, 2011 is off to a great start for us.

Little Einsteins, Yay!

This year McKenzie was obsessed with Disney's Little Einsteins, so she ended up with an Einstein Christmas. Her ornament this year was rocket which played a part of their opening song (she was head over hills for this) and she got talking/singing dolls of June, Leo, Annie & Quincy, along with a large plush rocket from the show. She was set & in heaven.

All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth!

Natalya loves Christmas...all the excitement, decorations, & music really add to things for her. Each year we carry on a few family traditions; Christmas PJs, Kids Ornament (themed for that year), & a Christmas book (now in memory of Jeremy's mother). Natalya was thrilled to sleep in her new pjs on Christmas eve & she loved the photo ornament featuring her two missing teeth with "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" printed on the back (since she lost her two front teeth just before Christmas this year).

Visit from Grandparents

What a great suprise! The girls were able to spend a few days with "Abuelo" & "Abuela" this spring. They even made it to celebrate McKenzie's first birthday with us.

McKenzie turns 1!

More Spring Fun...

Spring 2010

Climbing walls, parties, visiting family, trips to the zoo, and celebrating Natalya's 6th birthday were just some of the ways we filled our time this spring.

10 Wonderful Years!

There's nothing better than spending a week with your best friend. This year we were able to sneek away to Gatlinburg, TN. We had a great time shopping, seeing the sights, and eating great food! It was a wonderful way to celebrate ten incredible years together!

Family Photo Shoot

With changes to family, comes a need to update photos.
Here are a few from a session we did with Rebecca's family just after McKenzie was born.

A New Edition!

Another wonderful gift through adoption...
McKenzie Ann joined our family at the end of April. She's such a great addition to our family & we've been excited to have her! We love you McKenzie!

Merry Christmas

More 2008 Fun

This year was great. We got settled into our new house & had plenty of visits from family. We got to take a few mini vacations where we played at Disney, visited parks, and enjoyed the beach. Natalya participated in soccer for the first time and she loved it. We're all really looking forward to next season.

Spring '08 Family Fun

Our Awesome Daughter!

Natalya captured all on the coaster with her laugh.

8 Years & Counting...

Happy Anniversary...crazy to think, but it's been eight great years full of fun, challenges, travel, and adventure. We've gone beyond the "7 year itch" and we're looking forward to many more years to come!

A Vacation for Two & A Wedding

Jeremy's best friend got married, so the two of us were able to take a mini vacation for a few days. We had a great time hanging out and catching up with old friends.

Special Visit to Grandpa...

"Suprise!" Tally had a great time celebrating Grandpa's surprise birthday.

"Surprise!"

What a quick trip. It was great. Becca's whole family was there and we even brought Grandpa (Dad) to tears. He had no idea everyone was coming into town to celebrate his birthday. Natalya loved being able to tell Grandpa that she had been hiding from him for a day (we arrived the evening before his party, so we had to hide from him.)

Ready for a brother or sister...

After a few years of fun as a family of three, Natalya is ready to be a big sister.
