Today our beautiful little girl turned 6! She is just a spit fire...and I love that so much about her! ***Make sure to click on the above image to make it larger!
Today we flew to Arizona for Pamela's wedding and to celebrate Christmas! It was a long night. We left at 2am from Green Bay and drove to Milwaukee to catch our 6am flight. No sleep for us!
We couldn't have a holiday without doing lots of baking. Cookies, candies, and bread...yummy, yummy! Everyone helps out. (okay, everyone usually but Daddy and Alex!) The gingerbread house...actually this is where Daddy gets involved. He does this every year with the kids!
Natalie was in this years performance of The Nutcracker Ballet. She was a twirlygig and a dragonfly. She did such an awesome job and we are so proud of her!
Today was the first snow for the winter season...it wasn't much more than flurries, but it was beautiful and it allowed Kennedy and TJ to have some fun playing on the deck. Kennedy loved catching the flakes on her tongue!
My family and I are located just outside of Green Bay, and are living - what I would describe as - the American dream. We have 8 acres where our 5 kiddos have room to roam, as well as horses and chickens to grow up with! We are LDS (aka Mormon) and our faith plays a big part as to how we raise our children. I tend to be a bit "crunchy" in my parenting style- I enjoy babywearing, cloth diapering (part time) and I am an advocate for the benefits of extended breastfeeding. I dabble with the idea of homeschooling as well. For my hobby, I love photography, and we own a photo announcement graphic design company which has blessed both my husband and I with the ability to work from a virtual office at times. By far, my children, my wonderful husband & my faith are the most important aspect of my life...
