Chipmunk goes to school

Juniper wanted to bring in her chicken for show and tell. 

                                     

She "hypnotized" her for everyone. 

I am super happy these beautiful people were born.

dan & holly

It was truly magical to be a part of this big day. Congrats to Dan & Holly! 

  From South Dakota visiting my bff, Idianapolis, chicago, portland, this was such a new adventure for us! We took Amtrack all the way home and it was one of the coolest things ever!!  Or maybe it was just that it had been more than 7 years since we last embarked for more than a couple days without the kids. It was like a 6 day long date night. 

warm fall night

I am kinda loving the fact that we are not in any organized sports at the moment. The kids have been running a muck in the neighborhood, we have been eating dinner as a family every night. just chillin.  Ahh... simplicity..too bad juniper is already begging for me to sign her up for softball. Maybe by then, we will be rearing to go, but ... let me tell ya, I think I am on to something here...

Last day of school!

aaah i love love love the last day of school.

dance!

Well it's been a few years since Juniper did dance. I wanted her to try everything first, but.. she wanted to go back to dance! No soccer for this girl! Art, dance, and softball. I don't know how I am going to juggle it all, but she definitely loves it, so.. we will see..

The daddy daughter dance was a tear jerker of course. And seeing her on stage with her friends that she has been dancing with since she was 3.. its just so cool to see your kid creating beautiful memories.

number 1!

WOW! This month has been a whirlwind of craziness!!! I don't think we have been home for more than a few minutes at a time. Junipers team made it into the playoffs, and all the way to the championship game. FIRST PLACE baby oh yea. It was so fun! 

 I don't have a lot of pics of Avery's extra curricular activities.  He spent most of his baseball season staring into the sky, making his friends laugh hysterically, playing in the dirt, and sneaking his harmonica into the dugout. ;) god I love him. He is so my child. 

yosemite

day trip to yosemite. Gotta cram it all in. life is short, and there's just so much to see! 

loving life

yay!!!

 Spring is my most favorite time of year. 

seriously, I might have to have another child in 5 years, so I can do this all over again. 

Taters!!!

Avery & his bulbs!

He dug each hole &  planted every last one of them =) 

Happy Birthday Love BuG

Happy Spring!!

Meet Awesome & Easter. They are the cutest things in the entire universe.

Happy birthday to my babies!

I am cherishing every second of these magical moments that just fly by so fast! 

This has become quite the tradition! Every year it gets a little crazier.

Cheers to making awesome memories, with amazing friends & family! 

Daniel snuck in 10 $1 bills, and two $5 bills in the eggs.

 Out of 700 eggs, Juniper and Avery got the $5 eggs!  How weird is that!?
