About Us....

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.

Halloween Happenings

Halloween was so much fun with Hannah this year! After reading a few Halloween books at the beginning of October she proceeded to point out and say "ghost" and "pumpkin" (her two favorite Halloween words) every time she saw one. :) Carving pumpkins was very entertaining. At first she absolutely did not want to touch the inside of the pumpkin, however was very curious about it. After watching mom and dad scoop out some seeds, she decided to give it a try and had a blast. She's definitely not the type of kid who likes getting her hands dirty, so any time she got a piece of pumpkin goop stuck to her hand that she couldn't get off she'd immediately look to one of us for help. :)




So proud of her pumpkins
We traveled to the pumpkin patch with our good friends Renee, Marc & their son Nico this year. Hannah loved looking at all the animals and even fed young calf. Hannah, Nico and another friend Gianna enjoyed climbing the bales of hay, picking out pumpkins, going on a tractor ride, digging for potatoes, and petting the animals.


Loved feeding the calf!

Trick-Or-Treating was very entertaining. Hannah loves monkeys, so dressing up as one was fun. Every time she'd try on her costume leading up to Halloween, she'd make little monkey sounds and just stare at herself in the  mirror. :) She had practiced trick-or-treating with her friends at daycare earlier in the week, however when it came time to actually go door to door she got very shy and wanted one of us to hold her hand. This lasted until about the 5th house and after that she say "Tick-O-Teet!" and hold out her pumpkin also saying "Hannah, Hannah" It was too cute!






The whole gang

finally getting the hang of it

She didn't want to stop, so we had to do it a few more times at our house before bed :)
