About Me

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.

Bracken Turned Two!!!!!!!!!!!!

Saturday evening we had a little family celebration with Grandma and Grandpa Kleinman.  We ate pizza & salad with orange soda for dinner. It was super yummy!

The Birthday Cake!

Bracken was really good at blowing out the candles this year.  We must of relit them at least 6 times.

Nathan was a BIG help when it was time to tear into the presents and Bracken was happy to let him join in the paper ripping fun.  I was anticipating trouble. but was pleasantly surprised by their teamwork.

Like most little kids, Bracken was completely distracted by the newly unwrapped gift. Meaning that he totally forgot about the others still waiting for him.  Fortunatley Nathan didn't let him get sidetracked for long or our evening would have dragged on far beyond bedtime.

This little boy likes things that go "VROOM!"  He was given monster trucks, airplanes and motorcycles.



The last present revealed was Bracken's new bike.  It's not actually new, we purchased it in Idaho this July for $5 at a used bike sale.  It was pink and it has one white one black wheel and one white one black pedal.  We say it has lots of character.  We have been storing it secretly in our shed and this week we painted it blue, added a little bike horn to it and called it good.  Bracken never felt like his plastic trike made the cut since Nathan received his bike for Christmas last year.  In Bracken's eyes a trike is not the same as a bike.  We figured for $5 dollars we could get him his very own Bracken sized bike.  And he is completely smitten with it.

That evening we tucked him into bed with his monster truck and moto after reading him his new book twice.  What more could a kid ask for!
