Hey there, tiger.

Will work for Slurpees
Since it's officially "sweata weatha" here in CO (said in my best Amy Poehler/Maya Rudolph impresh), we've kinda been using our fireplace nonstop. And since we live in the forest with ample firewood, Johnny and the kids picked up a log splitter today: queue 4 straight hours of chopping and hauling fun! I snagged this [...]
Hey there, Pumpkin!
Meet Pumpkin! We surprised ourselves and the kids last night with our first family pet. After we moved to our new property which just under 3 acres, we decided we would most likely get a dog or two. Then some chickens, maybe a couple goats. The last animal we would ever consider? A cat. We [...]

Cleaning and organizing the garage meant finally unpacking the last few boxes and recreating a 5.5 year old photo.
It’s fall y’all
Well...it's almost fall. Like, we've got maybe two more weeks. Perhaps I'm jumping the gun a bit with decorating early, but I do that reeeeeally well. Just sharing a few things I've done around here to make our space feel a bit more festive. In a sauce pan, add the following ingredients, cover with water, [...]
Happy “almost birthday,” Crosby!
Tonight we celebrated Crosby! I couldn't think of a better way to ring in his first year than this: thirty of our closest friends and family, trampolining, cupcake smashing, salamander catching, zip-lining in front of a gorgeous sunset back drop. I still can't believe we live here! Costco pizza for the win. This was the [...]

Currently my countdowns are all pretty much like this: Close escrow Moving truck Last day of school Moving day A big thing happened on Friday. As we closed [...]
News!
Do you ever feel like sometimes God is just plain showing off? I LOVE it when He does that. Warning: this is a long post, but if you stick with me, you'll see why! We stepped out in faith and obedience when He told us to relocate. It was crystal clear and He confirmed it [...]
in escrow!
Today is Dixie's 6th birthday and although I had originally planned on writing up a little something about her today, I've just gotta say this...1. God is good and 2. This home selling process is no joke. (Plus her party isn't until tomorrow so I'll have more pictures then.) Occasionally we find ourselves putting too [...]
On the market!
In October of 2015, we had the opportunity to buy a fixer upper. We were up against 10 other offers, but with God's favor we got it! The fun was just getting started...we had a vision that many of our friends told us later, they doubted. (Don't worry. This story has a good ending.) Being [...]
