We're baaaaack! Vegas was a bit of a whirlwind, but oh so fun. We swam, we ate, we sunburned. And we're happy to be home. :) Taking the kids was fun. There's been a lot of changes over the past few years and they've made it somewhat family friendly. Sure, there was some stuff that their little eyes (or even my poor eyes, for that matter) shouldn't be seeing, but they did great. We had a little chat with them before we left and prepared them for the craziness that is Vegas. We took a lot of ... Read More
Mother’s Day

Christmas 2016
I have to be honest: Christmas this year was a bit of a blur. But in a good way. After months of planning and shopping, it all went by so fast! A little part (okay, a big part) of me is excited to relax now, but regardless, we had an incredible time celebrating with family and friends. Our annual Friends Christmas Photo at the candlelight service at church. It's one of my favorite services of the year, to see all the candles lit and everyone in their fancy clothes and the guys without flat ... Read More
