Welcome! And thanks for stopping by. This is our newly re-born blog and we are so very excited about it. It has only taken us about 3 years to get here, but hey, who’s counting?? I thought we should start off by introducing who is most important to us- our boys Brooks & Bryce- just in case you didn’t know by now! They are the reason we wake in the morning (literally, because they wake us up!!!) and they keep us really focused on what’s important. They also keep us exhausted, frustrated, confused, happy, thankful, amazed, amused and too many [...]

Merry Christmas (Part II)
We had so much fun with the boys this year making our Christmas cards, even though it was only one week before Christmas!! The boys had been sick for so long that we did it as soon as they were well enough. I mailed most of the cards out the day before Christmas eve, so I’m assuming most of them arrived after Christmas. There are worse things in the world than late Christmas cards! Below is the full card… Enjoy!
Slowly recovering…………
Well, I fell off the wagon last week with my “daily blog post” goal. We have all been so sick and are just now getting a little better. It’s REALLY hard being productive and getting much done with two curious toddlers roaming about. Considering how sick they’ve been, they’ve done pretty well. They’re such awesome little dudes It’s been nice having them here all the time. The new mountain of work I have is not so nice. But hey, there are worse things in life. I can not complain!! Just thought you would enjoy Brooks’ enjoyment of the saline and [...]
Georgia Aquarium Trip
In celebration of the boys’ birthdays at the end of August, Grammy treated us all to a trip to the Georgia Aquarium. It was absolutely fabulous! The boys, mostly Bryce, were in awe of all the amazing fish and aquatic animals. It was so neat to see their excitement and reaction to everything. It’s so great getting to see and experience the world again through my children’s eyes! We had such a blast and plan to visit again when in Atlanta sometime. There was so much to see and take in that we could have stayed there all day!! Not [...]
First Blog Video- Yeah!!!!
Ok, so I fell behind over the weekend on my ambitious “daily blog post” goal. So, i’ll just post twice today. Enjoy this “ride” with Mike and the boys. I LOVE my family. We have a lot of fun together Welcome to our first Saturday Cinema post- even though it’s Tuesday?!?! I will only be making one post over the weekend and it will be a video (hopefully) of our family or boys doing something. I can’t guarantee that it will be funny, but it will be something!! Let me know what you think of the Saturday Cinema idea and [...]
Investing In Us :: The ONE Conference – Marriage + Business
Last week Mike and I traveled to Washington, Illinois to make an investment in what’s most important to us- each other. Our relationship as husband and wife and our relationship with God comes (or at least it should!) before anything else. When you are with each other all the time, it’s easy to lose sight of that. “Busy” gets in the way. Life gets on automatic and doesn’t come off. We got off automatic, at least for a few days
Happy Birthday, Babies!!
It was one month ago that we celebrated Bryce’s 3rd birthday (27th) and Brooks’ 1st (31st). We were in Atlanta for work so we decided to have a joint birthday party with cousin Jade who tuned one on 9/16. It was a blast and so great to have all the kids and family together. We all really enjoyed watching the kids dive into the cakes and open presents. Bryce was really into his birthday this year as he now understands that it’s his birthday and he gets presents He was so adorable and SO excited about the construction cake. That’s [...]
New and Improved :: BIG Changes ahead
As most you have figured out by now, I am the primary voice here on our blog. Mike is great at and enjoys doing SO many things. Writing is not one of them. I, on the other hand, love to write and chat and communicate in any way possible with the world around me. As some of you have also figured out, I am a phone person- but I digress (a lot). We are going through LOTS of changes around here. We have been working on a new wedding website with the new URL www.timelessweddingstories.com. This really describes what we [...]
Baby Brooks Update :: Almost 9 Months Old
Wow!! Where did the time go?? Time flies SO fast with little ones. It seems like yesterday that little Brooks and I were in the hospital being introduced to one another. He has been such a blessing and so incredible! Bryce has been an awesome big brother, too. It’s amazing how so very different they are. Mike and I are constantly entertained by the two boys. They keep us VERY busy. It’s been a challenge working and taking care of the children, but we get it done. Right now, Brooks is up 3-4 hours at night so we are running [...]
The Seven Best Years of My Life :-)
Well, this past Monday makes seven years that Mike and I have been married. WOW!! Where does the time go?? The past seven years have been the best of my life. Marrying Mike was the best thing I’ve ever done!! I probably don’t tell him enough, but Mike is absolutely my world! He is my very best friend. He is an awesome husband and an incredible father. I truly feel I am the luckiest woman alive!! My wedding day was just about the happiest day of my life. Having Bryce and Brooks ranks way up there, but then there’s the pain factor. [...]
