Keagan woke up several times in the middle of the night last night. Funny how that happens when you’re already waking up several times in the middle of the night to feed the baby. They are already learning to take turns- Chloe would wake up, then Keagan and so on… But I didn’t mind. I...

Missing Grandma.
I just realized that my title, “Missing Grandma” may make it sound like we’ve lost grandma & we can’t find her In reality, though, we just really really miss her. It was so wonderful to have my mom here for 2 weeks to take care of us. She really is amazing. She cooked, cleaned,...
Are you Ready??
Okay- I’ve been trying ALL WEEK to have a photo session with Chloe, but the time just slips away. Feeding the baby, taking care of the other 4, trying to rest, trying to eat, trying to keep up with laundry, trying to keep the house in order…by the time I’m ready to take pictures there’s...
Kennedy.
As Kennedy was writing a “wish list” today (consisting of entirely DIFFERENT items than her original list), this is the conversation we had: Kennedy’s new list: a bag with a doggy in it, a barbie with a dolphin, a set of ponies, and a tinkerbell house. (she’s NEVER mentioned any of these) I said, “Kennedy,...
A few more from today.
A few things I want to remember. Canyon & Kennedy both said, “mommy? If Chloe is out, why is your belly still big?” Kennedy thinks there might be another baby in there. Canyon is the most excited about baby Chloe- he would hold her all day long if I would let him. It’s very...

I only have a few seconds because she’s ready to eat again, but I wanted to introduce you to the newest member of our family. Chloe Gwen entered the world on December 10th at 4:41pm, weighing 7 lbs. 5.3ounces and measuring 19.5″ in length. She has dark brown hair and we haven’t really seen her...
Messy. Messy. Messy.
Last week at this time my entire house was spotless. I was nesting like CRAZY & cleaned and cleaned and cleaned. I cleaned my floors, my windows, I shook my curtains and my rugs, I dusted and I vacuumed, I fluffed the couch cushions, I cleaned the appliances… I was a madwoman. Today, however, my...
My Little Girl is 5.
It doesn’t seem possible. 5 sounds so much older than 4. I keep telling her to stop growing, to stay small, but she says, “mom! God created us to have birthdays!” She’s right-God created her to grow and mature and honor and glorify Him and grow up into a woman with a gentle and quiet...
UCLA fight, fight, fight.
It’s tradition now. This is the 3rd year in a row we’ve gone to a UCLA football game. It is SO.MUCH.FUN. We go a little early, bring some food, play a little football in the parking lot (which happens to be a golf course), walk a mile to the Rose Bowl and sit and enjoy...
