Welcome to our blog! Craig and I were married on February 11, 2006. Craig had two sons from a previous marriage - Hunter and Colton. I was very lucky to inherit two wonderful kids right off the bat. I feel so blessed to have them in my life. And they put up with my OCD remarkably well. Kyla joined the family on August 8, 2006. She is our little angel...most of the time!!! She loves her brothers and they love her too. We continually get compliments on how sweet they are to their little sister. I recently started a new job as Director of Clinical Services for a mental health agency, and I also have a private practice on the side. Craig works for the Veteran's Administration Hospital as the Systems Redesign Manager. He is a wonderful husband and father. Life is good for our family!

Fun at the Rodeo!!!

My sister, Monica, and her family came to visit over the past weekend...so we decided to head over to the Snake River Stampede. Yeee haaaaw! This was also Kyla's 1st time at a rodeo. Things were going well...so well that Kyla felt the need to start dancing to the music that was playing. Unfortunately, her dancing led to falling and hitting her lip on the seat in front of us. Ouch!!! She ended up with a bloody lip, which led to many tears. After calming her down and cleaning it up in the bathroom, she opted to spend the rest of the time on mommy and daddy's laps. She did have fun seeing all the cows and horses...and especially the sheep with 'Mutton Bustin'. She has now decided that she wants a horse....of course!

Happy Birthday, Oliver!

I can't believe my nephew is now 1-year-old! Where has time gone? We had a great time at his party. Kyla and Oliver had fun playing with legos in Oliver's new pool. :-) Good times! We love you, Oliver!

Play Date with Luke and Ella

Last week we had a play-date with my friend, Teisha, and her kids ~ Luke and Ella. It was so much fun for the kids to play, and we LOVED Luke and Ella's new swingset. Good job, Paul! Thanks for a great time!
