A Visit to Colorado

It’s been a crazy 2 weeks.  Packing, travelling. then unpacking for a trip with 2 little kids is a ton of work.  We got to do this twice in the past 2 weeks.  When you throw in a 4th Birthday, things go from super busy to crazy.  I’m going to try to catch up on some …

Our Crazy Little Lady

So now that Mya is past the 18 month mark, I probably won’t continue doing monthly updates on her.  She is a running, speaking, crazy little lady, and we love her.  I will probably do quarterly updated or as new big things change, but she won’t be changing as quickly as she has over the …

4th of July Weekend

We had a fun time  celebrating Independence Day this year.  July 2nd, we went to the Madeira parade.   Bryson and Mya loved watching all the police cars, fire trucks and people in the parade. We walked away with half a bag of candy.  However, we didn’t make it to the Madeira fireworks this year (or …

Father’s Day Weekend

This past weekend for Father’s Day, Nick and I once again competed in Loveland’s Amazing Race.  It was so much fun, and I must say that I have the best partner ever.  This year was a wet one, with rain showers the entire time we were racing.  However, the rain definitely made the heat more …

18 Month Pics

Mya had her 18 month pictures taken last weekend.  Here are a few of my favorites: Mya has also moved up to her new toddler classroom at Day Care.  She had to leave her good friend Beau behind, but she now has a classroom with older kids (up to 3 years old), a bunny, and …

Mya – 18 Months

Mya is now 18 months (as of 2 days ago), and the theme of this month has been “little miss independent”.  She is definitely growing into a toddler, and this includes trying to do many things on her own.  In the car, she has to buckle her safety belts herself.  If we even try to …

Warm Weather

It’s been almost a month since I last posted.  Now that the weather has been warm, we’ve had a busy few weeks.  We’ve been playing outside lots! We’ve also been to King’s Island a couple times.  Mya is quite the little thrill seeker.  Here is Bryson and Mya on the “slow, slow, fast” as Bryson likes …

Tube Are In (Again)

Bryson and Mya both have tubes in their ears.  Everything went well with surgery yesterday.  Bryson also had his adenoids taken out this time, which is supposed to help lessen the risk of ear infections. We had to be there 1.5 hours early, the kids couldn’t eat or drink anything, and the doctor was running …

OneAmerica Mini Marathon

4 months of training cumulated this past weekend with another half marathon in the books.  I ran the “OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini-Marathon”, which is the largest half marathon in the world.  This race was also my first half marathon that I ever completed in 2008. It was fun to run the same race again and …
