About Me

Why a simple kind of life? Well, thats what my husband and I are trying to instill in our family. We are Christians and living a simple life is what God wants for us. I say trying because that is what we are doing. We need to keep that in the forefront of our minds as we go through all the crazy yet unforgettable days a family of four goes through. Life is very busy with a smart and inquisitive four yearold, active, curious, funny 2 1/2 year old and a new baby. As teachers, we enjoy our summers off with our children spending time at the beach, boating or just in our backyard relaxing. We know what and Who is important in this life, but we also can admit that we do enjoy things that don’t really matter like reality TV, good food and my weakness, shopping. All in all its all about balance and keeping God first.

Isn't vacation suppose to be relaxing?

Wow....I guess that's all I can say about our first family vacation to Block Island.  We went for a whole week which actually felt like a whole month away.  Note to self.....do not go away with an infant and toddler ever again!  The only one who had a blast was Layna.  She loved waking up at 5:30am every morning, yelling for TJ using his name.  She would yell "TJ no sleep."  It was very funny even at 5:30 in the morning.  When she got out of her crib it was pure craziness until bedtime at 7pm.  She was non-stop all vacation long.  Layna loved the water....wanted to do everything herself like float in her tube by herself, ride the waves by herself and go into the water by herself.  Yep at the age of 2, she is super strong willed and knows what she wants.  Here are some pics of her floating around and having a fun in the sand. 

She loved the beach!  It was fun to watch her enjoy it all but TJ and I left exhausted.  I brought a book to read and never opened it because of lack of time.  Poor Hunter just went with the flow.
