About Me

Oslo, Norway
Welcome to my blog! I am a wife and a Mommy of three. We have 2 daughters, Reagan and Hayden and a son, Grasyon. Here I write about our life happenings and try to capture memories the best I can. I hope this helps keep those close to us, in Texas, Iowa, Illinois, and beyond, a little more up to date while we're away. Enjoy!

A Month Spent Home in Texas

Seriously, in 2 days it's been a month since I last blogged. A month. A whole month. Crazy!

We've spent the past month home with family and friends and it has been nothing short of just what I needed. I was ready to get home, be re-charged and spend time with the people I missed the most. 

Wednesday evenings and some of the weekend we spent at the Sniders. If Dylan was there, Reagan was in heaven and if Uncle Lance was there Grayson was. Over there is also where Grayson can have whatever he wants from his Pops; beets, beans, Dr. Pepper, ice cream, anything. We all have so much fun together and Honey's cooking is always some delicious home cookin'. 







We didn't really do anything special. Monday/Wednesday's and sometimes Friday's we spent our days with April and the boys. We had play dates at my parents house, their house and sometimes North Park. April is really the only other mom that doesn't work during the days, so luckily we get to spend the weekdays together. Reagan loves playing with Maverick and I sure love my bf. 








Once the evenings came we waited for Nonna and Paw Paw to get home, ate dinner and then I usually didn't see much of Reagan until bedtime. Where ever Nonna goes, Reagan goes, she follows her everywhere. Reagan loves her Nonna and it makes me happy to see her with her because I love her just as much. We did have a park afternoon or two with Paw Paw. The weather was just so chilly/windy while we were home that we didn't get to go as often as we would have liked. 



















I did get to see my Sister once, but we were so busy and my camera broke so we didn't get any pictures. However, we did unload a bunch of Reagan's old clothes from our storage, I think 7 to be exact, and filled her car with tons of goodies for Baby Girl. I can't believe the next time we will be home I will have a niece! And Sister will be a Mom! Super exciting, I can't wait! 


I had a couple girls lunches/shopping days kid free. I love my girl time. April, Jess, Carrie, Shannon, Kaitlyn, Leah, my girls. It seems we are always so busy with the kids when we are together, so when we hang out just girls, it's just like old times. And I love it. I 'm so lucky that I have a handful of wonderful friends that no matter how much distance between us, it seems we don't miss a thing.



Reagan's other best friend Cece celebrated her 3rd birthday party at the Galleria Skate Rink. I wasn't sure  how Reagan would do, but she loved it and the party was a blast. (for some reason the pictures won't post, it keeps telling me error)











The night before we left the kids opened a few early Christmas gifts. This will be the first Christmas we don't make it home. You would think it would get easier or we would get used to leaving, but it seems it only gets harder the more our family grows. 








My most favorite picture of them. They might fight like brother and sister, but they also love each other like brother and sister too. 









We had such a good time visiting with our family and friends. The days always fly by and it seems there isn't enough time to see everyone and do everything. Once we get back, I realize I didn't take enough pictures and wonder why I didn't take more. However, it does feel great to be back. Back together again, back our normal routines and back to our own home.
