Time flies

It dawned on me this evening:
 Lincoln is 6 years old.
In 6 more years, Regan will be approaching her 20th birthday.
 Two decades.
Oh my heck!
Which led me to think how much our lives have changed in is last decade.
So let’s recap that right here, before we ring in the new year.

In 2009, we lived in a tiny 1200 square foot house with two little girls who loved to color and paint, sing and dance. They loved each other fiercely, looked after one another and and were best of friends.


We outgrew that house and moved to one with more space and a gorgeous backyard; the girls were instantly in love with the pool.


They grew into silly, sassy, sweet things and also found fun!


Regan started school and Sidney loved joining her for lunch. 



Ahhh, look at that cuteness!


We played and explored, did a little traveling and a lot of family time. 



We had fewer extra curricular activities and more together time.

And in 2013 we added one more to the mix. A boy to shake up all that cute girly stuff. 



He loved puppies and mischief and making a giant mess. 


But those girls love him no matter what. 


Oh our rolly-polly boy how we love you! 

We found time to explore


And make memories


We traveled and hiked


And taught photography to the littlest of the bunch


We made time to relax and bask in the sun


And run, jump to burn off energy


We got baptized and first communioned (not on the same day)


We splashed and made a mess!


And traveled some more


The last decade has been incredible and full and amazing in so many ways. It's hard to believe all of that happened in just 10 years. I'm excited for the next 10 :)

Best of 2016

As we bid farewell to 2016, I thought I would flashback to the best of our 2016 (as taken by my actual camera, not iPhone)....one from each month. This was not an easy task! Some months I had 5 of them I could pick, one month I barely  had one! It was an incredible year for our family. We love to have fun, explore and live life! Happy New Year!

2010 Review

10 comments about 2010

Sidney got tubes, we all got a little more sleep.
The princess of the bunch turned 4 and became more of a diva than we ever thought possible.
We said goodbye to our first home!
The next day we bought a new bigger house and it comes with a beautiful view!!
Regan enjoyed gymnastics, dance, t-ball and swimming lessons which depletes our check book but brings smiles all around.
We kept stable employment (though not without a lot of stress).
Ryan became my very own pool boy and gave us some good laughs with his tricks
Our girls became excellent swimmers and experts at pool safety in a matter of weeks.
The baby of the group turned 2 complete with the best darn
Elmo cake I have ever seen and was potty trained just in time.
We continue to be blessed with the best family and friends anyone could ask for.
Here's hoping 2011 brings many more memories!
