About Me

My photo
Our adventure started on a beautiful June day in 2004. Fast forward 12 years and now we are the proud parents of 3 active, beautiful boys. Nathan, Bracken, and Marco. We call Prescott Valley, Arizona home and are constantly reminded that there is never enough time to accomplish and experience everything we think we want. Life with a young family is precious and simplicity is our ongoing quest.

Straws and Bugs

There are a lot of things that Nathan loves. But lately he has really been enjoying blowing bubbles in a cup of water with a straw and he is very aware of anthing that may or may not be a bug. Sometimes he will notice a lint from his toes floating around in the bath water and he with say "bugck" over and over till I notice and fish the lint out. He is not really afraid of bugs, he just does not want one in his bath water.

Wanting me to play catch even though I am taking his picture.

Playing with and trying to poke little ants in the backyard.

Blowing bubbles.

Summer Projects

Here is what I have been up to this summer.


I have been really focusing on building up our food storage. We have a bit more than this but is in another closet. We are about 1/3 of the way there for a family of 4-5.

This was a fun enrichment craft project. I made it to match our bedroom.

I plan on putting a picture of Curtis and I in it.

I finally got around to painting up these boards that my sister-in-law Bekah made for me.

I think Nathan's growth chart board really turned out good.

This was my little birthday present to myself, before (grean/pink with roses) and after. I found this wooden box w/ drawers at a thift store for $3. I gave it a makeover to match our bedroom with the scraps left from the boards I made.
