Our Story

We got married May 19, 2006 in the Mount Timpanogos LDS Temple in Utah. We live in Omaha, NE and we have 4 amazing kids, Berkley, Nixon, Miles, and Cyrus. Our children bring us so much joy and we absolutely love being a family of 6!

April is over already?! Wow!

April went so fast!  It's hard to believe that we're already 1/3 of the way through the year!  I have mixed feelings about time passing so quickly because the faster time goes, the sooner we will get to really meet our baby Nixon but at the same time, the less time we have left to prepare for Nixon and the less time I have left to be pregnant.  Honestly, I love being pregnant so that will be hard for me.  Oh well!  I guess that there's no such thing as slowing down time so I will just have to keep taking each moment as it comes and appreciate the time that I do have!


Two of Berkley's favorite things: her TOMS and waiting at the window for daddy to come home!  I love this picture!



Four cute prego girls!  Me (Nixon due July 2nd - 29 weeks 4 days along), Alexa (Bennett due July 21st), Josie (Trevyn due September 15th), and Cass (??? due November 24th)!  Cass is the only one who doesn't know if she's having a boy or a girl yet but she's hoping for another girl.  The rest of us are having boys!  It's so fun that we're all pregnant together!


We got to get together on April 20th to celebrate Taylor (Cass' hubby) graduating!  It was fun to reunite!


Berkley hanging out with her daddy!  She can't get enough of him!  She threw the biggest tantrum when he left for work today...it was cute but sad!


We finally have bedding for Nixon!  I bought it on the day that I was 30 weeks along (cutting it pretty close in my opinion!) and Berkley LOVES sitting on it!  She sat like this for most of the night.  She really cracks me up!


We got to go to the park for playgroup because the weather was nice and Berkley loved it!  She hated the wood chips at first but once she decided they were okay, she couldn't get enough of them!



Wearing my hat...backwards!  She kept putting it over her face and running around "blind" and running into things and making us laugh!  She loves being our entertainment!


Berkley and Swoop...inseparable!  She LOVES Swoop!  She gives him kisses on the beak, holds him, snuggles him, pets him, you name it!  She's in love!  :)


One of Berkley's new things that I love...she lays on her tummy with her feet "frogged" behind her and watches TV.  It's so CUTE!  I love her adorable grown-up girl personality!


Berkley loves to play "mommy" with her baby doll!  She holds her and "gives loves", and burps her!  She's going to be a great big sister!


Berkley got to ride on top of the lawn mower at Home Depot when we met up with Nate and Josie so they could buy their 3rd lawn mower for the season!  Hopefully this one is the winner!


Our zoo pass expired yesterday so we went to the zoo one last time...for now...I'm sure I will have to renew so I can hike up that big hill on the backside while pushing Berkley in the stroller in an attempt to get Nixon here sooner!  We had a blast!

Goodbye, April and Hello, May!  I hope that the rest of the year continues to be awesome!

P.S. Berkley said grandpa for the first time today when I was talking to my dad on the phone...so adorable!  She kind of says it like "bam-pa" and it's the cutest thing! 

P.P.S. I love this little girl SO much (obviously...I can't talk about her enough!) and I love my little man, Nixon, and can't wait to hold him in my arms and give him lots of hugs and kisses!  Aaron is the best dad I ever could ask for to be the father of my children and I just feel so blessed!  My heart aches for those who experience trials with finding their spouse or having children and I take their hardships as a reminder of how blessed I am not to have those trials.  I couldn't feel more grateful for my life and the wonderful people I share it with!  I wish all of you the best in your lives as well and, if these are your trials, I wish and pray that you will be comforted and know that I love and care about you and that you are in my thoughts and prayers!
