Cozy little porch swing


My thoughtful husband got me a porch swing for my birthday.
I have been talking about getting one since we moved here---I love it.
First the boys painted it. Then Tyler put it together and hung it.
And now we swing---all the time.


The kids love it. We eat breakfast on it and popsicles.
And watch for cardinals.
And O loves to give her brother "under doggies"--although she calls them "under puppies" since doggie isn't in her vocabulary.

Being 5 is Delicious


Happy Birthday to our little boy who is slowly becoming our little man. You are the best big brother a bossy little sister could ask for and you make your mom and dad laugh with your funny little comments using a new word you learned regardless of whether or not you know how to use it. We love you J-man and hope the scootering to the farmers market for a cinnamon roll, swimming your guts out all day, shrimp and corn on the cob dinner and brownie dessert (a day full of favorites) made 5 more awesome than 4.

My Friend Greg

This is my friend Greg Price and this is just how it is with him, you see him and you want to be friends with him. These goats climbed right into his cart while we were golfing 2 weeks ago and I'm sure it was because they knew, just like the rest of us who know him know, that he is the most genuine, kind person you will ever meet. We have been able to get to know Greg and his family during our time here in Missouri but funny thing is, Greg went to the same High School as Aimee and I and he was only a grade behind us....small world. Greg's little boy Scott is one of Jackson's best friends and he and I just finished coaching their soccer team to what we would call a winning season! Greg is one of the most naturally athletic people I have ever met and kicked my trash all over the golf course. Why am I telling you about Greg? Because he was diagnosed today with a brain tumor and will be undergoing surgery this Monday to remove the tumor and you can help Greg and his family. Greg was sent to another hospital about an hour and half from where we all live so his family will be living out of hotel for the next little while and on top of these costs, the medical bills will be accumulating quickly. As students it is hard enough to survive without incidents like these so take a minute and click on the link to the right and donate anything you can and help my friend Greg.

He did it!

Congratulations Tyler!
Last weekend Tyler walked at commencement with a degree of
Master of Science in Biomedical Research.

I was so proud of him. He worked so hard and spent
MANY hours up in the lab doing experiments and writing a thesis.
We loved having Ty's parents in town.
We spent a day in Nauvoo and played around the house.
Thank you for coming out, Olivia is still asking where you are.
One Masters down one medical degree to go.
Happy Graduation!
