Tender Moments!

Anyone that spends much time in our home knows that there aren't very many "tender" moments!  Most of the play is rough and tumble with lots of noise and energy!  It works for our family!  AND Most of the time no one gets hurt!  Our two kids have so much fun together playing and that is what matters the most!  BUT...When we have a moment of "tender" play and sweetness, we treasure them a lot!  A few weeks ago, Lily and Logan decided to dance together!  They were being so cute with each other! It was a lot of fun to watch these two dance together!

I just love this sweet picture of these two! 

Museum of Nature and Science

One of my good friends volunteers at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science.  Because she volunteers, she can bring people to the Museum with her.  She invited us to go and we had a great time!  The kids LOVED the Space room.  This is the first time Logan has really gotten into the exhibits!  He had just as much fun as Lily did playing and creating!  We are so glad we got to go!

 Playing in the Mars sand

 I don't know if I for sure trust this pilot!  He looks a little young to be controlling a space craft!

 Using different tubes to make a track for the balls to go down.  Logan was really good at destroying it! 

 Lily's hard work!  She spent a good half hour working at the craft table and made this flower and a puppet!

Box full of Laughs!

I don't know what a box has, but it has something that makes it magical to children!  Any time we have a big box in our house, you can guarantee that there will be a lot of fun and a lot of laughs!  A few weeks ago we got a big box in the mail and the kids had a blast playing in it, coloring it, and destroying it!  Pure joy!

It was fun while it lasted!

Karaoke

These are from my company's annual incentive trip - this year it was in San Diego. One of the highlights was a karaoke night where everyone participated. Enjoy!

I Would Walk 500 Miles

My Wife

Work has been super-busy lately -- blame the Affordable Care Act for that one. During this time, I have definitely had to spend more time away from my family than any of us would like. I just want to take this opportunity to let everyone know what a wonderful wife I have been blessed with. Rather than complain about this, she has done everything in her power to remain positive and supportive, even as Logan wreaks havoc on the house.

Megan is an amazing mom, a patient and supportive wife, and an all-around "dynamite gal." I am so blessed. Thanks, Love.

Daily Life!

Our house can get a little crazy most days!  The kids are full of spunk and lots of personality!  Here are some of the moments that have made me smile the past few weeks!

 Logan wears his cowboy boots with EVERYTHING!

 Lily got her hair cut and she wanted to model the new look! 

 She got a glitter heart on her cheek when she got her hair cut.  she rubbed most off on the way home, but she still wanted to take a picture to capture what was left of the heart!

 Lily is so creative!  While she was taking stickers off of a new shirt, she decided to make herself a watch!  I thought it was amazing!

 We went to the park the other day to get some much needed energy out!  These two love to play together!

 My monkey!  She is climbing and swinging on everything!

 This is one of my favorites!

 I went to check on the kids one night and this is what I found!  Logan was wearing Lily's shoes and was out cold on the floor in front of the door. 

 Lily was asleep with one foot hanging off the bed!

 The warm weather has been nice!  (Even though it is snowing as I type!)  The kids want to get out every second they can!  While Daddy was grilling dinner the other night, Logan decided to try some dirt!  He also tried rocks.  Both not as good as Daddy's yummy dinner!

 Lily was playing Queen of the castle! 

 I love the many Mickey Mouse stickers on her dress!

6 Wonderful Years

In some ways it seems like I just got married yesterday.  In other ways it feels like I never lived without TJ.  He is the most amazing man I know!  His parents did an amazing job raising my perfect match!  He is my better half!  It didn't take me long to know he was the one I wanted to spend the rest of eternity with!  The past six years have been full of amazing experiences and great memories!  I thought I was getting lucky when I got married, but I had no idea just how lucky I was!  I know TJ loves me regardless of how crazy I am!  I know he is always on my side!  I know that he thinks I am beautiful and he makes me feel like I am.  He would do anything for me!  He is my best friend!  I love him more than I ever thought possible! I am so blessed to have him in my life!  I cant wait to see what the next 6 years have in store for us! 

To celebrate our Anniversary, TJ came home early on Friday to take me and the kids out for some family fun!  I was a little surprised when he came home early!  I thought someone was trying to get into my house.  I was very glad to see it was my amazing husband coming home early to surprise his family!  We went miniature golfing and then to Sam's 3 for dinner.  It was such a great surprise!

Logan played speed golf!  He would hit the ball and then run!   I don't think this kid stopped running the whole time!  He had such a fun time making TJ chase him!

 Lily is getting better!  She was really into it this time!  She is already asking about the next time we get to go back!

I didn't take any pictures of our actual anniversary.  Saturday we spent the morning watching General Conference with the kids.  Then that evening we got a babysitter and TJ took me to a great restaurant, White Chocolate Grill, and it was amazing!  Then we went and did some shopping.  I love to spend time with my amazing husband!  I love him, I love him, I LOVE HIM!!!!!
