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!

Abby's 2 Year Stats

Abby's growth has not slowed down at all! At her 2 year check up she weighed in at 34 lbs (98th percentile) and she was 38 inches tall (off the charts, just above 100th percentile). The Dr. said she is the size of a 4 year old! Yikes. I think she is definitely going to be taller than me if she doesn't slow down at some point. Hopefully she will be able to use her height to her advantage....

Abby's Birthday

Abby was lucky enough to have 2 celebrations for her birthday this year. On Monday, her actual birthday, we had some of our friends over from her playgroup for a pajama party. It was lots of fun and so cute to see all the kids still in their PJs. I am so lucky to have found this group of amazing moms and kids. Both Abby and I have made some great friends and we love having them over to play.

It wasn't easy, but we got 10 kids between the ages of 1 and 3 in one picture! As you can see, none of them were very happy about it!



Abby was pooped after everyone left, but not too tired to play with one of her favorite gifts! (Thanks Sarah and Isaiah!)

End of the day with another favorite from Mommy and Daddy

Abby's Birthday Party

I cannot believe that my baby is 2 already! She had an awesome birthday and lots of excitement. The Saturday before her birthday we had a small little party with family and some friends. I didn't see much of her during the party. She was so excited to have so many friends over and she stayed in the backyard where all the kids were playing on the swingset and in the sand. We all had so much fun!

Here are some pictures of friends/family that helped celebrate!

New Family Pictures

We had these taken the day before Abby turned 2. It has definitely become a lot more challenging to get good pictures of her. She is not interested at all in smiling at the camera or standing still. However, Natalie (photosbynatalie.com) still managed to get some great pictures!
