Emily and I met some friends on Tuesday afternoon at the Columbia Park Zoo. We spent time looking at the wallabies. Emily loved seeing them jump and signed “kangaroo” over and over again. She and her friend ran around to see them and were really excited every time they spotted one. We checked out the…
Family
Easter
This year Easter fell on General Conference weekend. On Saturday we started the day out by doing a bit of spring cleaning, music blaring and dancing along. After an hour we went outside and played basketball together, then grabbed a quick lunch at quodoba and lemonade ice cream at chick-fil-a. We enjoyed spending time together…
A Trip To Iowa
On Thursday, April 9, we came up with the idea for Emily and I to go to Iowa for a week and by Friday morning, April 10, we were loaded up in our car and headed west. Andrew came along for the ride and we met my mom half way. After lunch together at Arby’s Andrew…
18 Months Old

Moments
It has been two months since I did a moments post and I’m afraid this will be a large post with lots of catch-up. Going all the way back to the beginning of February…. My mom brought a box of toys at the beginning of winter from my childhood. I kept the box hidden in Emily’s…
Reboot

We spent the night at a friends home and watched their little boy while they went to a session and they watched Emily for us the following morning. They treated us to Hot Brown for breakfast which was very unique and delicious. We…
Indy Children’s Museum
Yesterday morning we woke up, packed lunches, and hopped in the car to head to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum. After my sneak peak of the place a few weeks ago I couldn’t wait to come back as a family. We met up with our friends Hannah and Ryan who just moved to the Indy area…
Pi Day: 3.1415
When we realized that Pi day was the coolest it will ever be in our lifetime, we made sure to acknowledge its existence on Saturday. We spent time in the morning cleaning our yard and the afternoon at the park. When we got home we made homemade chicken pot pie together and chocolate pie for…
Glimpses of Spring
This week we’ve had days that reach the fifties and Emily and I have spent the majority of our time outside. I am really going to like spring and summer with a toddler. She plays hard outside, gets dirty (I don’t love the sand that she ate six huge handfuls on Wednesday despite my attempts…
Road Trip Buddies and Iowa Adventures
With Andrew in Las Vegas last week for a conference, Emily and I planned to head to Iowa to hang out with my family. We were thinking we would head out on Sunday or Monday, but at 10:30 Friday night we glanced at the weather and realized the good weather was only going to be…
