Lily - 7 1/2 Years Old

By -
 We sure love our sweet and energetic Lily girl!  She keeps us on her toes with her deep and thoughtful questions.  We can't imagine life without her!


  • Very energetic and loves to have fun always.
  • Very creative.  Loves to draw and participate in any craft.
  • Such a fantastic reader.  Flew through all of the Junie B. Jones books.
  • Complete night owl.  Has the hardest time going to sleep.  Reads for a couple of hours.
  • Dad and Mom's great helper.
  • Still our little Punky Brewster.  Loves to be creative and colorful with her outfit choices.
  • Love/hate relationship with Piano lessons.  Wants to quit so bad - but then loves to play the songs she learns over and over again.
  • She has a hard time if things are hard.  But she is a fast learner and once she gets things she usually loves it.
  • Loves junk food like her mom.
  • Insists on eating a turkey sandwich every single day for lunch.
  • Pizza snob.  Only likes "Papa John's" pizza.
  • Loves her friends and is a great peace maker when there is friend trouble.
  • Wants to do gymnastics.  (Mom and dad are trying to work on that).



 Michelle (Piano Teacher) - She makes learning so fun for Lily!



 She was so excited to show us her "Road Dance."  She is one lucky girl to have such great brothers who will go along with her fun plans.

Belated Bolder Boulder Post

I have loved this yearly tradition of running the Colorado Bolder Boulder with these amazing women.  Unfortunately, this year I had to opt out at the very last minute due to unexpected foot problems (tendonitis).  I love getting geared up every spring and training every Saturday with such a great group of women.  This picture was taken on our annual Saturday breakfast before the run.  I sure hope to run with them again next year.

Lily is Home!

We got to bring Lily home from the hospital last night. It's kinda crazy to think that this beautiful little girl is ours. We definitely have a lot to learn about being parents, but are sure excited for it. We are especially grateful that our families are so willing to help out with everything. My parents are here right now and then Christina's mother and sister will be coming next week. We feel blessed to always have their support. Here are some pictures from the last couple of days. Here is a very proud grandpa spending time with his little grand daughter. He does such a good job with her and it is neat to see how proud he is. Also, here is one of the funniest little videos. So far, her eyes have been very perceptive, but here, I think she got a little overwhelmed. I think her hands mess with her eyes. We have to keep them covered cause she always is scratching her face. But the video just makes us laugh. She is such a cute little girl!!! As you can see, we are very pro...
