Hail the Graduate

Well, it finally has come time for our "student" phase of life to end! Kim has received his Masters and I couldn't be more proud of him. Anyone who knows Kim knows that he really dislikes school so it's really time to celebrate! And here is the braggy wife part: He managed to graduate as valedictorian and will be speaking tomorrow at convocation...and has also received the top graduate research award for his thesis(he did not want me writing about this...sorry Kim!). I only wish that he would enjoy this accomplishment- he is too stressed about applying for coaching jobs. This has been a long time coming and while we feel a bit unsure about what the future may hold for us, we are excited to see what's behind the next bend. Our attempt for a family picture failed miserably.... Brady running around and Marinn crying...sadly, that's pretty accurate!

Way to go Kim! I LOVE YOU!

Easter Dreams

I love Easter. I do. Growing up my Mom always made it really special with intricate riddles to find our chocolate bunny. While my kids aren't quite at the riddle stage yet, they sure looked cute! We had a great day of egg hunting, eating yummy treats, playing games and just being together. The best part about Easter I think is that no matter what is going on in your life ( the good, the bad, the ugly), HOPE SPRINGS ETERNAL. It's something that we all need. I am so grateful for that hope, for that faith in my life.

Here is my wish for you this Easter Season: that you keep dreaming, believing and celebrating the eternal life that has been given to you.

Prima Ballerina

Here is Miss Jordyn at her first dance recital! It was so classic...and she looked adorable!

Let this remind you....

that although the weather may be a balmy 70 degrees today...we are expecting SNOW tomorrow! Looks like both Braden and Marinn are learning to dribble! Brady on 'his' court and Marinn on her chin!

Dear Nani and Steve,

We had sooooo much fun with you both last week. We know that you are going to be GREAT parents because Brady and Marinn just adore you guys( Marinny shows her love in a different sort of way!). Miss you already. XOXO

Toddler FOR SALE

This what happens a little boy decides to pull EVERYTHING out of his drawers instead of taking a nap. I'll admit, I was furious...I just took the picture to remind myself that this would be funny later. It hasn't been long enough yet.
