june can do no wrong in my eyes. having a two year old helps me see just how sweet babies are. love you, gus ;)

 

josh is in full time school/work/scout master/second job mode right now so we're all a little overwhelmed and anxious, but we sure are grateful for two healthy kids who keep us on our toes and help us remember what's truly important. I really love being a mom and a wife. i'm so grateful that josh is supportive of all I do. he is my biggest fan and I would do anything for him. we've been married for three years today! cheers to another hundred more!

Christmas// 2013

 

  Christmas in Columbus was wonderful...and stressful, but mostly wonderful. We had a house full of our favorite people and the best food. It was so fun to see Gus and June play with their little presents and stockings Christmas morning. I love being a mom. Gigi and Papa got them some perfect gifts as well. We've got books out the wazoo!  Thanks for hosting such a fun week you two!

Juuuune, you're killing me.

Check out those nightgowns! Who knew you could be so cozy and sexy at the same time??

The kids looking adorable and sleepy Christmas Sunday.

Our Gussy is two!

At two he's...

Obsessed with trains and trucks. In Gus's perfect world, he could watch youtube train videos all day long.

Likes the movies Cars and Tangled.

Loves to entertain. This kid is full of material.

Says ball, truck, choo choo, oh no, June, mama, dad, milk, book, whoa, yes, no, poop (what is it with boys and poop?), pee, wet, wash, up, what's this, yes please, thank you

Is seriously a hoot.

josh turns 31.

 

Josh is the big 3-1. I love being married to him. No one makes me feel more comfortable and loved than he does. He's smart and funny and quirky and cute. Josh for president!

june's blessing day.

Junie was blessed in church in August and it was so wonderful to have my dad and Brynn in town for her special day.  June has blessed our family so much in the short time she's been with us. She is so sweet and happy and she makes our home a better place. We're all big fans of June around here.

summer + halloween.

 

Halloween was really adorable with our little fox and puppy. Gus loved trunk or treating with his friend Aubrey and I'm loving using his candy as bribery.

 

Look at that girl....I mean, come on.

June is rolling from her back to tummy but not her tummy to back much these days. She loves sitting up and playing with whatever Gus is playing with....so lots of trains and trucks.

I love watching these two bathe together. I always loved getting to take baths and showers with my sisters and cousins growing up.

 

 

 

We are orchard addicts. We picked fruit all summer long and it made me so happy.

June pretty much solely travels by bjorn.  Josh and I fight over who gets to carry her.

 

 

Our little June bug is 6 months old. What!?
