  • Fluttering Along

    Yesterday, my mom, Skyler and me headed to Greenwood, Missouri to an antique store owned by one of our friend’s mom, Millett & Co. She has an adorable room in her store with just children’s things, which included lots of butterfly decorations. We picked out some hanging butterflies and long beaded butterfly garlands for Skyler’s…

  • Christmas 2009

    We had a wonderful, busy Christmas! I’ll keep the words short and let the pictures do the talking, but Skyler had a blast! We did our own Christmas Eve together at home, then had Christmas morning together, then headed to Belton for Ronnie’s family Christmas, then back across town to my parents’ for our Christmas.…

  • Magic Spell

    This is the smile of someone who knows how to get what she wants. Even with oatmeal in her hair.

  • Deanna Rose Farmstead

    A week ago Skyler and I met my good friend Amy and her kids at Deanna Rose Farmstead, a wonderfully free park/zoo in Overland Park. This place is pretty amazing. I had heard a lot about it, but was still surprised how big it was. You could spend all day there with kids and keep…

  • Spaghetti, Shirts, and Slides

So I’ve pulled out all my patience and mess-tolerance and handed her a fork and spoon with her meals, like yogurt and spaghetti. I wish she didn’t love spaghetti so much! It’s a guaranteed…

  • Boom Boom

    This 4th of July was Skyler’s first real Independence Day celebration. Last year she was so young, we left her with grandparents and went on our friends’ boat in Jeff City. This year we had a long relaxing weekend at home (besides all the laundry, housecleaning, and packing for our vacation next week). To celebrate…

  • No More!

    I am in no hurry to have another child. Nothing about pregnancy excites me, even though I had an easy one with Skyler. And Ronnie works such long hours, that I can’t imagine looking after two kids every morning and evening, especially in the current phase Skyler is in. And then there are nights like…

  • All in One

    Since I can barely keep up, I’m going to just throw a bunch of stuff together in this post! And while I am still working on the video from Rockfest last week, I’ve got lots of new photos to post. Here goes – Mulberries! When we bought this house a little over 3 years ago,…
