Our Little Jumper

Maxwell is your typical 3-year-old, always FULL of energy! One of his favorite things to do is jump! After several weeks (if not months) of him jumping on the couch we decided it was time to find something else for him to jump on (for the sake of our couch!). We also wanted to make sure he was safe when he was jumping, so when we saw this trampoline at Toys R Us, we knew it was just the thing!

Visiting Daddy At Work

Wednesday January 5th was a milestone in our house. It was the first time I took both kids out all by myself! :) We drove to Marshalltown to see Matt at work and have lunch with him. Thankfully I had Matt to help me once we got there, so it wasn't too hard for our first trip. I think it will be awhile before I take them on a complete outing all alone! :)

Introducing...Makayla Jane

We welcomed our second child, Makayla Jane, on December 14, 2010 at 6:40pm. She was 6 lbs. 14 oz. and 20 in. long. We have been keeping busy with her ever since! She's a really good baby, and usually only gets up 2 times in the middle of the night. At her 2-week check-up she was already up to 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 21 in. long. She's growing so fast! It's hard to believe she's already 4-weeks old!



Max is really enjoying being a big brother. He loves to give Makayla kisses and show her all his cool toys.

Matt took 3 weeks off work following Makayla's birth. It was very nice to have him around and it gave him a little chance to rest. He normally works 50-60 hours a week, so he definitely needed and deserved some time away!

Welcome to our blog!

We decided that a blog would be a great way to keep family and friends updated on what's going on with our family, as well as a place to share pictures with everyone! Our goal is to post something every week, so check back often for updates!
