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.

More Christmases and New Years

Over the second half of our Winter break we enjoyed spending more time with family. On our way home from Reno we stopped in Lincoln so that Hannah could spend some time with her Nana and Papa Heald, Aunt Cassie, cousin Camryn, Aunt Mel and cousin Mazzie. The girls were too cute together playing dress up, coloring, reading books, etc... Hannah loved her cousin Camryn's new easel and reading book's in Camryn's big girl bed. In between trips we spent a few days at home. It was so nice having time just the three of us. Hannah is so fun and interactive right now. She's such a little jabberbox and gets excited about the littlest things. It's pretty cute. On the Thursday just before New Years we traveled to Humboldt to have a second Christmas with my family and ring in the New Year. Hannah enjoyed round two of spending time with her family and getting to open yet more gifts. :)

 For New Years eve this year my parents offered to keep Hannah overnight so that Josh, Nicole, Sean and I could have a night out together. After much debate we decided to head to the Scotia Inn for appetizers, drinks and dancing. Before heading to the Inn we enjoyed a nice dinner with my parents at Curleys and then went back to my parent's house for a drink before heading to Scotia. We had such a great time at the Scotia Inn. It was fun running into people I hadn't seen in awhile. The four of us also had a fun time in the photo booth they had at the Inn and getting down on the dance floor.  :)
