About Us....

My photo
Married on Aug. 12, 2005....we met through mutual friends in the spring of 2000 while playing on a co-ed softball team. We both teach…me elementary (since 2004) and Josh middle school history (since 2006) . I've taught 2nd, 4th and 6th grade. This year I'm moving from 6th to 1st grade, big change however I'm excited to teach primary again. Along with teaching Josh coaches 3 sports a year. We're both very active...it feels like we're always on the go. We love our boat and enjoy being out on the lake with family and friends. 2008 was a big year for us. We bought our first home in April, got our first puppy (Tuck) at the beginning of Aug. and were very excited to find out mid Aug. that we were pregnant. Our daughter, Hannah Nicole was born on April, 4 2009 :) Parenthood is so much better than we ever expected it to be. Hannah is such an easy going, happy little girl. On April 21 of 2012 our second daughter Jordyn Elizabeth entered our lives & made our family complete. We are so fortunate to have two healthy, happy, beautiful girls.

Thanksgiving Break

Josh and I continued the tradition of hosting Thanksgiving at our house this year.We really love being able to bring both of our families together and not having to travel. :) We started off the break by celebrating my parents 31st anniversary at Nicolino's Italian restaurant in downtown Cotati...so delicious! Thanksgiving morning Hannah got to play with her cousins, after her morning nap we took a walk to the park while all the guys went to play frisbee golf at Crane Canyon. After dinner and pie we had a blast playing Who Knew? and Cranium. The next day the ladies went shopping, while the guys went to play a couple more rounds of Frisbee Golf at two different courses in Petaluma. On Saturday we took Hannah to her first Notre Dame game. Notre Dame came so close to beating Stanford. It was such a great game! We definitely didn't want the break to end or to see our families go. Christmas can't get here soon enough!!!
Happy Anniversary!
