My new favorite family picture.

Piper Jane grew up. One day I realized we were still squeazing her into size 6-9 months onesies, and they were having kind of a thong effect in the back side. So I finally bought her about a million size 18 months onesies and lots of new socks too, because the sock eating monster is [...]

Sight Seeing with my family

We made a little time for touring NYC while my family was here. We didn’t have much time, and I was stressed about 100 things (sorry family!), but we did make it out a few times! After Pip’s birthday visit on Saturday, we journied out to central park and Times Sq. My little brother (it [...]

Birthday girl

We did a little party for Pip yesterday, but I don’t know if I’ll be able to get the pictures up and posted before we leave tomorrow.  I do want to post a few more pictures from our visit with her on Saturday, though. Pippy got some new sunglasses from her Grandma Beth (Jake’s mom), [...]

Piper Jane is 4

Piper Jane turned 4 on Saturday. Sweet girl is so grown up, she doesn’t know what to do with herself. I guess she’ll just have to be silly like always!

Piper Jane’s first time at the Park

While doing some walking therapy on Friday, Pip’s PT suggested going to the playground. I’ve been wanting to do this for a really long time, but they have to lock the playground on the weekends, and it is much too much for me to handle without Jake there. So, since I had Pip’s PT to [...]

Off to Utah

I’m flying out today to be with my family. My Grandma’s funeral is tomorrow morning and I’m looking forward to hearing everyone’s wonderful and hilarious memories of her. Such as, she once told my cousin that she doesn’t use her turning signals because (in her words) “It’s no one’s business where I’m going”. Hahaha I’ve [...]

3 adorable girls=3 adorable videos

I made this little video after our totally wicked fun party time usa visit on Monday. Piper smiled the whole time, and I got it on camera. Booyah.   Here is my little niece Maya busting out some Beastie Boys. She is only 5 years old. I can’t wait to see where her good taste [...]

Utah: The Breinholts

Even though my flight/travel plans/schedule changed so many times, I was really glad to spend some time with my Breinholt family. Along with stopping by Mimi’s house on Friday night, she also invited me over for dinner on Sunday. I brought Nate and Mel, and was happy that Jake’s parents, Beth and Wally were there [...]

Utah: My dear Melanie.

The main reason for my trip to Utah, was to spend time with my brother Nathan and his wife Melanie. I briefly mentioned before that Melanie has cancer, and just started chemo two weeks ago. She has been through so much in the last few months since her diagnosis in October, and after leaving my [...]

Utah: my mom’s new puppy.

I came down to Southern Utah for the last leg of my trip yesterday. My mom met my brother half way in a town called Scipio for the hand off (me). She brought her new puppy who is still nameless, but adorable. I have been snuggling her nonstop. My mom and I talked about having [...]
