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
"I never want them to think that the whole world revolves around them, but I want them to know, without a doubt, that my whole world does." - Unknown This Mother's Day was just the way I like it: low key with fajitas. :) We had a great weekend catching up on our favorite tv shows and playing a new game I've fondly named Asian Whack-A-Mole. (Basically, I chuck a giant exercise ball at them and they have to hit it back to me using only their chest. We spent about 2 hours playing this ... Read More
Daffodil Parade
Well we didn't have the best weather for this year's Daffodil Parade, but it didn't stop us from having a good time.

Life Lately
This month is moving way too fast. Usually January is a slow month for us, where we can re-coup from the holidays. But with basketball and band concerts, it's been everything but. This was the second to last Hawks game of the season, where we won. Right before we lost and all our 2017 Super Bowl dreams went down the toilet. Huz is taking it well and I've only had to make 1 lasagna so far. Well, 1 lasagna and 2 6-packs. But I still consider that a win. Trenton had the opportunity to play in ... Read More
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
