Last week we celebrated our favorite man’s birthday. He wanted to spend it in nature and we were all game! Rocky Mountain National Park was calling…and we came! We went to Rocky Mountain last autumn for the first time – and we loved it but it was cold and snowy and so we weren’t able …
First Day of School
Our 2022 – 2023 school year has officially BEGUN!!! These kiddos love learning and I feel so grateful to spend each day learning along with them. This is our sixth year homeschooling and I am just filled with love for these kiddos. Jacob is in his fifth grade, Sarah is in second grade, Benjamin is …
Back to School Feast
Our annual Back to School Feast is one of my very favorite traditions {but maybe I say that about every family tradition…}. There are truly few things I love more than a fresh beginning – and that is what this feast is all about. It kicks of our school year, but much more importantly than …
The Time of Pharaohs
After Lydia’s follow up appointment at the burn center, we met up with Mark and the kiddos and made our way to our favorite spot in Denver. The kiddos have LOVED our picnics at the City Park followed up with time at the Nature and Science Museum. This visit to the museum was extra special …

Grandma’s Birthday

We were so grateful to spend a couple days with them AND, most importantly, to celebrate Grandma’s birthday! It never feels long enough, but we loved …
Clegg Family Reunion
Last month we made our way west to spend some time with family. We loved spending a week in one of our favorite places with some of our favorite people. We played games, spent time with our Moldenhauer family, went on walks with the pups, had long talks, ate LOTS of food, read Harry Potter, …
Independence Day
I love the fourth of July! It is one of my favorite holidays – always has been! But this year was a tuff one for me. We have lived away from family ever since Mark and I got married and so we got used to doing holidays and other events on our own, early on …
Benjamin Lewis
Benjamin Appreciation Post! This boy makes our house such a fun place. Five has been such a fun, sweet age for our Benjamin. Ben continues to be the most physical little human. He loves to be running, wrestling, climbing, building, you name it! Ben’s love language is definitely physical touch. He is the snuggliest little …
