About Us

Marc and I have been married since October 14, 2005. We dated 4 years before taking the plunge! On December 14, 2007 we were blessed with our little girl Abigail (Abby). She weighed a healthy 8lbs 15ounces. She came a week before her due date. (I was induced) She is a sassy 4 year old and always keeps us laughing. On September 9, 2011 our sweet baby boy, Matthew, arrived weighing an even healthier 9 lbs 6 oz. We also have a dog (Layla) and a cat (Sissy). We moved into a new home in North Phoenix in May of 2007. It was so fun to watch the progress of it being built. Hard to believe we have already lived here 4 years. We are still changing paint colors on the walls! The picture above is from our trip to Kauai in 2006 for our one year wedding anniversary. Can't wait to go back again someday when the kiddos are a little older! I started this fun little blog so friends and family can stay updated on what is going on with us (since I am so horrible about making phone calls and sending e-mails). Hope you enjoy!

No More 20s

Well, I am officially out of my 20s. I turned 30 yesterday and I have to admit I feel pretty old. I can remember how old 30 seemed when I turned 20 and now I am already there. 40 still seems pretty old to me (no offense to all of my readers who have passed 40 long ago :) ). I am sure 40 will be here before I know it. I know the next 10 years will be amazing though. I will get the pleasure of watching Abby grow and change. I have a feeling the next 10 years will be some of the best years of my life.

We have a crawler!

I thought it would never happen. Saturday Abby decided that she was going to give crawling a try. Of course she did it when I was in the shower. I am the one who is home with her all day long 7 days a week and she decides to crawl when she is hanging out with Daddy. Marc was on our bed reading and Abby was on the ground by the bed. She went after my breast pump of all things. Marc came in to tell me that Abby was crawling. I didn't quite believe him so I had to see for myself. I put my cell phone on the ground and sure enough she went after it. It took her over 10 months, but she finally figured it out.
Here is a little video I took yesterday. She will always go for the cell phone.....

3 Year Wedding Anniversary

Wow, it has been 3 years since Marc and I were married. It has been amazing. Each year has been better than the last. I thought I would take a look back at what we were up to on October 14th the last 3 years.




In 2005 we were married at The Wright House in Mesa. It was a beautiful day that I will never forget. These are just some of my favorite pictures from the day...


My brother walked me down the aisle and I absolutely love this picture


This is a picture from the ceremony
Look at the way I just took control of that smooch


Another smooch

Just hangin' with the boys


Surrounded by beauty


Ready for the reception


In 2006 we went to Kauai to celebrate our 1st anniversary. We had an amazing time and can't wait to go back again!



This was the view from the balcony of the condo we rented

This was at a sugar plantation


This was at Spouting Horn Blow Hole


This was on the North Shore somewhere



This was after an awesome helicopter tour of the island





Last year was our second anniversary and we were just excited to be expecting our sweet angel


Look at that belly! I still had 2 more months to go!!




This year we celebrated our anniversary with a dinner out as a family. It was really nice. Abby is getting to be a lot more social and had a great time squealing, fake coughing and smiling in an attempt to get the attention of the table next to us.

Here we are before going to eat

LOVE This Weather

The last few days have been extremely nice outside. It is soooooo nice to finally be able to get the girls (Abby and Layla) out of the house. We have been going for walks at least once a day. I think the fresh air does all of us some good! It is supposed to be back in the 90s by the end of the week, but I think it will still be nice enough for us to go out in the mornings or evenings.

Here is a picture from one of our recent walks. The sun was right in Abby's face so she is a bit squinty....

VIDEO: Little Yapper

Took this video of Abby today while she was in a very screechy mood. She has a real desire to be mobile these days and is getting closer to crawling. She will get to all fours, but can't figure out what to do after that. There has been a lot of whining involved. I am hoping that will subside once she can actually move.
