Almost 16 and Quite the Young Man

Almost 16 and Quite the Young Man

Tyler, my oldest, has sorta always felt like my brother in a way.  I mean, I did have him at 17 after all so we kinda grew up together in a sense I suppose.  He always gave me a hard time from the early newborn days until about 14.  I remember waking up at 2am [...]

The Sweet Moments

The Sweet Moments

Little man is at the age where he is into everything.  He doesn’t mind as well, he wants to help do everything and where tantrums are inevitable.  Even through some of the more trying times, it’s those sweet moments that come into play and make everything okay.

Little Man’s New Friend

I love that my boy ain’t skeered of small crawly bugs! He just grabbed up this little caterpillar and let it crawl all over him. I didn’t even want it on me and he tried to put it on me. I just pretended I need to go pee. It was quite [...]
