Family Home Evening...

We are always trying to find something fun to do with the kids for FHE. My parents have this amazing backyard with a great fire pit and a place to watch movies outside. Tonight was a really nice night so we built a nice fire and made smores, it turned out to be a big hit!

Time for an update...

I know that I have been slacking on the updates so I thought it was about time to post. Life is good for us here in Oregon. We are keeping busy trying to enjoy what is left of the nice weather before it is gone. Reese is so full of energy and is always looking out for her little brother. Wyatt is now 8 1/2 months and is always a happy boy. Recently we went up to Multnomah Falls just about 30 minutes from our home. The kids had fun exploring.




It is much more beatiful in person, I promise!



My cute little Mister Wyatt



This video of Reese is so cute, so loves to sing all the time. Brett & Maguire, Reese says this video is for you!!!

Wild Blackberries


Yesterday I realized we had blackberries growing in one corner of our yard. Blackberries grow everywhere here and I remember growing up picking them often. But Reese and I decided to pick some for a dessert or something. Reese ended up eating more than she picked but we still had lots of fun!

My Time

I have been inspired by my dear friend Morgan on getting organized. I have really been trying to organize not just my living spaces but my time as well. With my husband working, 2 kids, church, starting my own business, helping my parents out, and trying to fit in a bunch of other things into my days. I'm really focusing on how I organize my time and making the most of it. I notice quite often I end up wasting time. I feel that I'm in an organize my entire life mode. I have been thinking a lot about how the Lord has an order to things and I feel that I need to have that as well. I have been organizing my living spaces, trying to plan ahead, have more structure with the things I do with my kids, and use my time more wisely. Anyways, just some food for thought. Here are a few pictures of the kids from this past week.
Here is a darling video of Wyatt, he is starting to pick up on some much and
is scooting around everywhere.
