Cutest Baby EVER

OK, so I may be biased, but check out my almost 6 month (6 MONTHS, REALLY?) old baby girl, eye infection and all…. I found myself kissing and munching on her cheeks so hard today, I almost swallowed her whole face in one giant sloppy bite. I can’t stop myself!  Why are babies so good [...]

What’d you just say?

A few short stories about my hilarious three year old and his mouth. The other night I took the kids to a friend’s house for dinner.  Wyatt was being his usual wild-self, and could barely sit still in his chair for dinner. In the process of his wiggling he managed to fall off the dining [...]

Puppy on the Run

While I was gone last week tending to family business.… Chris was left in charge of tending to TWO CHILDREN AND TWO DOGS by himself for all of three days.  I know what you are thinking. Did everyone survive??? Well, kind of. Albeit, Chris is a great daddy,  but I don’t think he fully realizes [...]

Happy Fourth of July!

Or maybe I should say, “Happy Scawry Fireworks Day!”  Yes, that’s right, Wyatt is terrified of the fireworks.  And I mean TERRIFIED.  We have been talking up the fourth of July for a few weeks now, and when the big day finally hit, Chris and I brought the kids to three different fireworks stand to [...]

Long Lost Relatives

As we were digging through pictures of Grandma for her memory board, I realized which side of the family I got my love for pictures and photography – MY MOMS!  I knew Grandpa Serck always had a camera hanging around his neck, but I had NO IDEA the obsession we share carried back many, many [...]

If today was your last day…

I was lucky enough to have all four of my grandparents at my wedding in 2004.  I was also blessed to have each one of these grandparents hold my first child in 2005. Grandparents are a blessing, often overlooked as we grow and start our own families.  I was blessed enough to form close relationships [...]

Puppies Need Love Too

Have I mentioned that we still have two Shelties? Well, we do, the poor things have been a little looked over the past few months, what with Brooklyn staking her claim and all.  Chris, of course, still dotes on them just as much as he always has. I, on the other hand, have been feeling [...]

Rock-a-Bye

Uhg. Brooklyn has started getting up in the middle of the night again. What happened to my baby who never cries and sleeps 12 hours at night? Where did she go? At least she still doesn’t cry.  Plus, we had a good run.  5 weeks old until 21 weeks old she gave me my sleep [...]

Splish Splash

Last weekend we were in Fargo for Maddy and Conner’s fourth birthday party… ….and fun was had by all.  Wyatt LOVES playing with his cousins.  And since I’m an only child, Chris’s brother will always be our only shot for cousins.  I have so many awesome memories of playing with my cousins growing up, they [...]

My Life as the Wife of an Outdoorsman

It takes a special kind of women to be married to an avid outdoorsman. I should know, I am one of them.  If you know one of these outstanding women, after reading this please go buy her flowers, or at least give her a hug.  We deserve it. We put up with a lot. Chris [...]
