future fashion designer

Clara's middle name should be "art". I was pregnant with her while I finished my last year at CCAD. go figure.

Where does time go?

It seems like yesterday, I had my first baby girl and now she is 8! When I first held Clara, I thought, how can I love anyone more than this cute red head? And then came Preston and Adalyn. My heart just expands. Now it holds endless love for 3 gifts from my Heavenly Father. Though their eyes I understand my purpose here. I see heaven and I know that I will be with them forever. I love them so much. I guess I'm in a sappy mood. Time fly's. And I'm holding onto every minute!

Sun Shells and a Shark

Pics from our family vacation to Seabrook Island, South Carolina. There was a lot of SUN! Yea, the spray on sun screen didn't work out so well, so everyone fried on the first day. To Clara's disapointment not a good location for shells, just some broken pieces of sand dollars. So, we bought some cool shells at the gift shop. Shark? Yes. There was a shark at Dan's feet as we walked along in ankle deep water!! No attacks though. Just a sting ray bite- Jared (brother-in-law) suffered that one. All in all we had a great family vacation.

Getting Started

Here it is. Our blog. We have wanted to start this for awhile now. Just getting around to it. Clara keeps asking me everyday, So mom, did you do our blog???? So, here it is!

I kept trying to think of something cool to name this little thing. And Dan came up with... Into the Woods. And I came up with out came a family... Dan and I met in high school during our spring musical Into the Woods. I was the prop girl. He was the stage crew guy. 15 years later we have 3 kids and 2 gold fish. Clara's sitting next to me as I type this with a cracker in her mouth and a big smile on her face, probably because I'm finally doing this. She is my beautiful red head. Anyway, hopefully this will end up being our family journal, in a sense.
