Hopefully the first of many...

Well, so here it goes... after much deliberation the jury in my head decided that I should start dedicating time to journaling the MANY sweet moments of our families life - it's never a dull moment around here - and so with that said I really do hope that this first post is only one of many to come. I know that I am much behind the time with blogging lifes events, so to bring you up to speed...

9.3 years of marriage = 

1 wild and crazy 5 year old daughter who is nothing short of our own little miracle. She was stubborn to get here and has not let up on her stubbornness since. She wants to be a cowgirl when she grows up (please don't ask because I have no idea) and just today has graduated from the most tender and adorable preschool... we will truly miss Ms. Kerry.





2 of the most unique twins. I really do think these two were meant to be single babies, but given their personalities I'm sure they were in heaven fighting over who gets to come first and as sibling rivalry would have it neither could be out done by the other so they had to come together... hence the many grey hairs I have disguised in my blonde mangled mess (to be removed this friday). They really are my sweet tender babies that I'm almost positive will be called 'the babies' long after they've grown and moved away.



And so this is one of many posts to come I will call it good for now... wouldn't want to overdue myself or strain something... but as I alluded to above this Friday is going to be a big day for me... long story short (pun intended) I've been threatening to chop all of my hair off for a long time - this was always the plan even when I started growing my hair out 4 yrs ago... grow it long then cut it all off in some fabulous dramatic fashion and donate the mangled blonde mess to Locks of Love. So to go out in style my friend hooked me up with a local television show that does weekly makeovers and so this Friday I get it cut and colored and next week we shoot the show... very fun except now it's reality not just something I was planning to do in the distant "future"... YIKES!!! Stay tuned for my dramatic before/after pics!

Whoa baby, it's been a lonnnng time!

OK, here we go... my attempt to play catch up... Scrolling down you see it was just a few posts ago that I was so proud of my new lil 2nd grader. Well as time so often does it just flew right by and we just wrapped up 2nd grade year... watch out 3rd grade. As tradition in our house here is Sam's mini shoot commemorating her 2nd grade year.

Wee little princess...

Oh man, where does one begin to describe our little peanut. For starters I still get a kick out of the random folks that ask me almost weekly what the age difference is between the B's... then the genuine look of shock and awe when I tell the unsuspecting person that they are in fact twins. Let's see...what else about Brooke... -She bounces EVERY where she goes...she can never just walk places she has to twirl, bounce, you name it -She is the most amazing UNtrained dancer EVER...at least that's what her Grandma Herrick would say! -She has the most loving heart I have ever witnessed...loves and cares so unconditionally -Wants to be just like her big sister in the worst way -Has my chin...and it's soooo cute! -Her prayers will melt your heart...no joke! -Still prays everyday that her Grandma will be strong and healthy and we don't dare correct her -Always wants to be on the go and constantly asks to go to the mall -Has the sweetest bond with her bro and I...

A fish called Sam!!

It's sort of a given when you live in this desert land that your kids have to go through this right of passage called city league swim team. And I gotta say... BRING IT ON! Growing up I always wanted to be on a swim team, nevermind that my strokes often look like someone is having a seizure in the water, but none the less I wished I had tried. Well, you better believe that this mama is living vicariously through her kids when it comes to swim. Sweating palms. Nervous stomach. Pacing back and forth... this is usually how you can find me and Scott on the sidelines. I LOVE IT!! She was pretty good last year for her first year, and this year she really did even BETTER...bringing home 3 first place ribbons. I actually only ended up bring my camera to one of her meets, shameful, I know. But in my quest to be ever more present in my kids' lives I didn't want to be all camera-crazed, jockeying for the BEST position with all the mom-tographers videoing their super-star athletes. R...
