Breakfast

2011-09-23T08:14:00.000-07:00

Mornings at our house are a bit crazy.
My eldest daughter has to be at school at 7:50. (Not sure who thought that was a good idea.)
I pile all three kids into the car--usually 7:40ish.
Needless to say breakfast is really difficult.
Lately, we've been doing this combo: nutella, almond butter, dave's killer bread--simply the best! I also put a some sliced banana on top.
YUM!

Sweet Evalin

2010-02-17T20:48:00.000-08:00

I think her eyes are going to stay blue. I have three girls and not one of them has my brown eyes! Lilli's are a greenish, hazel color. Abbi's are blue, and now Evi follows with the same. Kind of crazy...

Here is a pic from Uncle Trev's camera. He was visiting this past week. The girls sure do love their uncle. We appreciate his willingness to babysit lots when he's around! Thanks Trevor!

Haircut!

2010-02-17T20:45:00.000-08:00

I've been growing my hair for quite a few years now. I finally had it cut off...just wanted a change. It is definitely easier!

Celebrating Miss Abigail

2010-02-11T16:49:00.001-08:00

In January Abbi turned 4 years old! I could type pages and pages about this little girl. Her personality consists of many different traits that seem to be a unique combination of Josh and I. The "laid back" mentality that she often allures represents Josh to a tee. We often will refer to her as our "hippie child". I can enter a room and find her dancing and singing in a very "free spirited manner" by herself. It is so funny! She also can be very feisty (that part is from me) and likes things to be a certain way---aka. her clothing style. We admire her creative spirit and have loved the last four years with her!

Evalin (4 Months)

2010-02-11T16:46:00.000-08:00

It's hard to believe that Evi is already 4 1/2 months. She is growing up SO fast, which I should have expected. She most recently started sucking her thumb. Lilli and Abbi didn't suck their thumbs, so it's cute how all children have different traits. We love her so much!

Goofy Times

2010-02-11T16:44:00.000-08:00

New Year's in Bend...

2010-02-11T16:42:00.000-08:00

After Christmas we headed over to Bend to spend New Year's with the Hackbarth family. The girls got to enjoy some sunshine and their new bikes!

Christmas in Indiana...

2010-02-11T16:37:00.000-08:00

Here are some pics from my camera at Christmas in Indiana. We had a great time celebrating with our family. The girls sure do love their cousins Kaelyn and Brenden. Miss you guys!

Evalin three months

2010-01-11T22:37:00.000-08:00

Evalin is three months old already. She really is a perfect baby! We love her to pieces!!!

I love my girls...

2009-12-03T17:38:00.000-08:00

Thanksgiving...

2009-12-03T17:35:00.001-08:00

Thanksgiving with Mom, Dad, and Trev...here are some pics from getting our tree.

Some new pics...

2009-11-23T10:38:00.000-08:00

A few pics...

2009-10-20T11:46:00.000-07:00

This week Evalin, Daddy, and I have been having fun hanging out together. (the girls are visiting grandma and grandpa...) She is such a mellow baby--which has made transitioning that much easier...

Baby Evalin is here!!!

2009-10-17T09:40:00.000-07:00

Evalin Ruth was born Friday, Oct 9th at 1:30 pm. She weighed 8 pounds, 3.5 ounces, and was 20.5 inches. She had a little bit of a rough beginning and spent 4 days in the NICU for having "pneumothorax" (small tear in her left lung causing an air pocket to form in her chest). Thankfully she recovered well and we took her home Weds afternoon. She is such a sweet baby. The girls are CLEARLY enamoured with her. While it can be stressful at times managing all three, it's also a joy seeing them so excited that she's arrived. I will post more pics soon...

Two weeks to go...

2009-09-27T16:51:00.001-07:00

We have two weeks to go until we get to meet our newest addition. We're excited for her birth and look forward to sharing pics with all of you! These last few weeks have been a new level of discomfort, but I just try to remind myself how special it is to experience the little miracle growing inside me. :)

Fall Wedding with the Fam

2009-09-27T16:45:00.001-07:00

Last night we were at a fam friend's wedding. I happened to be in the picture taking mood...it was a beautiful wedding on a perfect evening. Lilli and Abbi LOVE seeing the bride all dressed up. They had so much fun dancing the night away!

Cannon Beach

2009-09-27T16:41:00.000-07:00

Cannon Beach in Sept is the perfect place to be!

princess party with friends

2009-09-27T16:35:00.000-07:00

Lilli and Abbi went to a "princess party" a few weeks ago...here are some cute pics of their fun afternoon.

Pre-school begins...

2009-09-27T16:29:00.000-07:00

Lilli is one of those kids whose birthday falls right after the cut off. So, this year she started preschool three days a week. While she is the "oldest" in her class, she loves her roll as the leader of her peers. Here are some pics from her first day. She was more than ready...she told me in the car, "It's ok mom, you don't need to take me in, I can walk myself (sniff sniff from me)" After school I asked her on the car ride home what she learned in school and her reply was, "Mom, worry about something else!" My goodness, I didn't know I had a teenager already.

Happy Birthday to Lilli!

2009-09-27T16:25:00.000-07:00

September 09

Lilli turned five years old! I just can't believe how fast she has grown. She wanted to get her nails done, so I took the girls to a salon for manicures. They loved every second of it. For dinner we had pizza and cake with some friends. My camera ran out of batteries, so I wasn't able to take many pics:( Lilli got lots of fun presents...

Soccer Girls...

2009-09-27T16:23:00.000-07:00

And so it begins...the girls had a lot of fun playing soccer this summer...as long as I let them wear their "pink" shin guards!

August 09

2009-09-27T16:01:00.000-07:00

In Aug we went to Indiana to visit the family. The girls had a blast with their friends, cousins, uncles, grandmie, and grandpie. We went to the beach, played at the park, swam with friends, drove the car, jumped on the trampoline, and just enjoyed the beautiful weather. We loved our time there....

Crazy cousins with grandpie

Craft idea...

2009-07-15T15:22:00.001-07:00

Here is a artsy project you might want to try with kiddos. Lilli and Abbi loved it. Sorry, I put the pics in opposite order starting with the end first. Scroll down for Step 1...Enjoy!

Here they are together...

Here is a close shot of Lilli's...

Step 3: Mix Strong Cast and pour into mold (1 part cast to 1/2 part room temp water). Let it sit for at least an hour. When dry, cut out carton, pull away the clay from the cast.

Step 2: Use found objects around the house to create your sculpture. Press into clay.

Step 1: Use an old carton (I used a boxed soup carton) and line it with clay.

Happy 4th weekend...

2009-07-15T15:17:00.000-07:00

We spent the 4th of July weekend in Bend. We went to a funny dog parade downtown, got our faces painted, bbq at relatives house, watched fire works, and had fun on the boat...

Lilli got to drive!

Spokane adventures...

2009-07-15T15:14:00.000-07:00

The day after the wedding we spent some time in downtown Spokane.

Daddy and Lilli wedding pics continued...

2009-07-15T15:12:00.000-07:00

Lilli was Daddy's sidekick that night. Here they were dancing in the courtyard together...

2009-07-15T15:06:00.000-07:00

We have been out of town for the last 8 weekends now! Crazy how busy the summer months go. We have attended 3 weddings (California, Spokane, Seattle), one funeral:(, Bend, camping, and we will fly to Indiana in a few weeks to see my family. Here are some pics from our wedding in Spokane, WA. The girls were the flower girls...oh I wish I could of gotten it on camera their march down the aisle. Picture Lilli with her arms crossed and a big fat frown on her face! They both were exhausted by the time the wedding started---5:30pm. But, they did look cute!

Medford

2009-06-14T09:30:00.001-07:00

This past May Josh lost his grandfather Hank to a brain tumor. It has been a difficult time for the family and we will miss him dearly. We traveled down to Medford for a memorial service with the family. My parents were in town as well, so they came along with us. The girls were thrilled to have two sets of grandparents in the same location for a day. We had a great time remembering Hank and spending time with Grandma Ethel. The trip was also bittersweet since we had to say goodbye to Aunt Steph and Uncle Ry-Ry. They left this last week for a two-year trip to Mongolia for the peace-corps. We will miss you guys!

Palm Springs...an adventure!

2009-06-14T09:12:00.000-07:00

During May we headed down to Palm Springs for a nice, relaxing vacation/family wedding with the Hackbarth family. Upon our arrival Abbi seemed a little under the weather. By the eve of the wedding she was vomiting and had a high fever. We stayed up with her all night and figured it was a 24 hr bug that would go away the next day. The next day she was still pretty exhausted, but with Abbi it's always hard to know how serious things are since she just gets pretty quiet when she's not feeling well. By the wedding night she continued to have a fever and was not responding to typical otc meds. We decided to take her into the ER to at least get her checked for dehydration. Once we got there it turned into a 6 day visit! Abbi had severe bacterial pneumonia. She was treated with two types of antibiotics and respiratory therapy. So, our vacation was not so much a vacation after all! I don't even like looking at these pics because it makes me feel bad how sick she was:( Seeing your kids hurting is just horrible. Fortunately, she was able to make a full recovery and is now back to her usual goofy self. The adventures of parenting continues until next time...

Easter 2009

2009-06-14T09:10:00.000-07:00

Here was an Easter pic of our fam and the girls. We spent Easter in Bend. It was VERY cold, so I didn't really take any pics of our easter egg hunt...

An long awaited updated....

2009-06-14T08:47:00.000-07:00

Dinner with friends...

Lilli and Isaiah "Bubbles!"

Lara, Emma, and I

Abbi and Noah

I see you!

I see you too!

It's been awhile. I found out in Feb that I'm pregnant with our third ---now we know it's another girl! Yeah! So, needless to say I've been a little neglectful of updating posts. Here are a few pics from my bday back in April. The girls and I went to Salem to the children's museum and met up with my best friend Lara. (She has three children as well). Later that evening we had a few friends over for dinner...Happy Birthday to me!

Abbi's present

2009-01-27T13:09:00.000-08:00

Here is Abbi's bday present from Lee and Nancy. I think it is so funny. The girls love bouncing on it, and I read that it can hold up to 400 lbs! The title is what is a little confusing to me..."Rody"--pronounced "Road-y" What a minute, isn't that...?

2009-01-27T12:50:00.000-08:00

Happy 3rd Birthday Abigail!

2009-01-27T12:44:00.000-08:00

Abbi's cake....her favorite part about birthdays.

Grandma and Grandpa took us out to Red Robin.

Big girl!

coast trip...

2009-01-27T12:40:00.000-08:00

Josh and I had a weekend over on the coast a few weeks ago. It was SO much fun relaxing and seeing the sun. The weather was 65 degrees! All in all it reminded us how much we value time together, although we found ourselves talking about the girls the whole time:) funny how that works.

Crazy girls...

2009-01-27T12:38:00.000-08:00

Just trying to impersonate our Uncle Nate.

2009-01-27T12:34:00.000-08:00

Look at my tu tu!

And mine!

So sweet on Christmas day!

Crazy Uncle Ry Ry dressed as a deer only to freak Abbi out! Lilli could tell by the sound of his voice who it was...

We made some yummy cookies...

Look at our soft robes like Mommy's!

Christmas continued...

2009-01-27T12:21:00.001-08:00

For Christmas we were in Bend for a week. It was so much fun spending some time enjoying the snow and taking the girls ice-skating. Here are a few pics from that day.

Christmas Time

2009-01-25T12:43:00.000-08:00

After opening a few gifts at our house, the power went out and we decided to head over to Bend that evening. And so Christmas began with the Hackbarth family...

2009-01-25T12:30:00.000-08:00

Ok, so I'm back. After a long period of no computer (Lilli managed to download a total of 80+ viruses...) I have quite a few pics to post. Enjoy!

Grammie's Knitting...

2008-12-11T15:03:00.001-08:00

My mom is such a great knitter! Here are two sweaters she has made the girls. Thanks Mom!

Trick or Treat

2008-12-11T14:57:00.001-08:00

This was our one and only pic from Halloween. Abbi was all about the Cinderella costume, while Lilli had a bit of a melt down and felt like she needed to come up with her own princess costume. Either way, they both had a great time visiting neighbors for candy...although, Josh and I probably ate the majority of it. I guess things come full circle when you become a parent!

pumkin carving...

2008-12-11T14:52:00.000-08:00

I was going through my camera trying to find a good photo for our Christmas card. I found these from our pumpkin carving this year. It's hard to believe that I'm posting these now and it's already December!

My girls...

2008-10-22T15:43:00.000-07:00

Here are some pics of the girls. They are getting so big. It's hard to believe that Lilli turned four and Abbi will be 3 in January! Crazy how fast it goes. The weather is changing to fall and lots of rain is to be expected. Here's a pic from a rainy day in their cute rain boots. This was probably the first pic I've taken where they both posed for me!

Roloff Farm

2008-10-22T15:27:00.000-07:00

A few weekends ago we headed to Roloff Farm with our friends. It was a little insane. There was filming going on for the show, so that could have been why there was such a large turnout. It was cool to see it all and meet one of the members of the family-Zach.

Fall time...

2008-10-22T15:05:00.000-07:00

These pics were taken the first week we moved here. The weather at that time was perfect outside. At the end of our street is a pathway that takes you down to the river. The girls love exploring down there. We have also spent afternoons swimming in the river--although it's pretty cold. There is even a private beach that we can play in the sand all by ourselves. I love the first two pics of the girls because they were so excited to be in this new place. They loved watching the boats that day.

More pics to come...

2008-10-21T14:59:00.000-07:00

I will be posting some new pics of our fall adventures. We recently moved to a brand new town. Josh was fortunate enough to get a job working as a project supervisor for a remodeling company. He loves his job and he feels fortunate to be working alongside a great group of guys. We've enjoyed exploring Portland and getting to know our surroundings. There really is SO much to do here that it's overwhelming at times. All in all we feel blessed to be where we are at and we look forward to new friends and new experiences.

There's no place like home...

Kaelyn is so darn cute!

After camping we headed on a plane to Indiana to see my family. It was also a great time. We went to an amusement park for a day---Lilli and Abbi got to go on their first rollercoaster ride! We got to spend lots of time with cousin Kaelyn. We jumped on Trev's trampoline. We went to the zoo. Mommy and Abbi even spent the night at the hospital!! So much excitement packed into two weeks...

Summer continued...

2008-10-21T14:37:00.000-07:00

We went on some fun adventures this past summer. Here are some pics from our camping trip with Josh's family. We had so much fun going out on the boat, sailing, fishing, and eating lots of yummy food...We even got to take Grandpa and Grandma go tubing. Grandma was screaming SO loud, while Grandpa kept saying "Faster!"

Summer time...

2008-07-03T13:24:00.000-07:00

Ahh...isn't summer great!

Olympic Trials Eugene 08

2008-07-03T13:10:00.001-07:00

Our town is hosting the Track and Field Olympic Trials this year. There is a lot of craziness going on down by the University of Oregon, so we thought we'd check it out. Our town's track club hosted an "All Comers Meet" for young children. Each child would run with their age group a short distance and get a ribbon to celebrate. The girls also got t-shirt's from the Nike tent for participating. All in all it was really neat to experience the exciting atmosphere of the trials. Lilli and Abbi had a good time too!

Olympic Trials Eugene 08

2008-07-03T12:53:00.001-07:00

Here's a clip from Lilli's race...Abbi had already run and came in third:) She cried the whole way...a little too much for her, but it was still fun. Lilli begged to go again, so she ran it twice. It was so neat running on their track...historical!!

Olympic Trials Eugene 08

2008-07-03T12:45:00.000-07:00

Here is Lilli's warm up run...

Color Wheel...

2008-06-27T11:39:00.004-07:00

We used food coloring to color salt....red, yellow, blue. We drew (w. chalk) a large circle with six sections. Every other spot you put the colors you made....as you combine two together you will fill in the remaining 3 places with orange, green, and purple! The girls loved mixing the colors...even the neighbor cat had fun.

Ouch Abbi!

2008-06-27T11:37:00.003-07:00

Poor Abbi! She gets about 10 accidents a day! She takes after her uncle Trev...

My girl is getting so big! VBS 2008

2008-06-27T11:19:00.004-07:00

Here is a small clip of Lilli with her class at VBS. She has been going from 9-1pm all week and has enjoyed her time. It's so crazy seeing all the things she's learned. The day before she started we went to Target and got her a special "Hello Kitty" lunch box. That evening I went to the store to get her juice boxes and I stood there in the aisle for 15 min contemplating which ones would be the easiest for her to open so she didn't have to worry about it...After a while I just thought to myself, "Hannah, get a grip she's just going to VBS for goodness sakes." I now know how my parents have felt with my brothers and I. I never want my kids to struggle, even if it's just having to figure out how to open a juice box! I guess just thinking about my girls being on their own makes feel so protective...sniff sniff...

Honey

2008-06-27T11:08:00.003-07:00

Here are some pics of our newest addition..."Honey"--aka. "Lisa" or "Snuggle bunny Ray"--Lilli has a new name everyday! We got her about a week ago. I told Josh my childhood dream of having a bunny has finally come true. All we had as kids were hamsters! (Thanks mom and dad...) The girls love having a little pet. She is very sweet. Notice the cage built from scratch by Josh:)

A day for a hike...

2008-05-25T12:38:00.003-07:00

Today we attempted to hike Mary's Peak about one hour from Eugene. The top is a little over 4,000 ft. We were able to drive up most of it until the last 2 miles, which we hiked with the girls. There was quite a bit of snow and the clouds rolled in which made the view not really a view at all. I look forward to this hike in the summer time--although there seems to be a lot of bears out and about. Lilli was exhausted by the time we got back to the car...she kept saying she had a "cramp" the whole hike:) She is drama! Abbi feel asleep in the backpack on the way back...adventures like these are always interesting with toddlers!!

Grandpie and Grammie come to visit...

2008-05-25T12:21:00.004-07:00

Here are some pics from my parents trip out here. We got to do lots of fun stuff...the weather was HOT! 90 degrees for quite a few days. We went to the swimming pool, the beach, Bend, and hiked Spencer's Butte to name a few things...the bottom pic is overlooking our city of Eugene. The hill right above Lilli's head is where we hiked with Dad. We love our parents and appreciate them coming out!!

Goofy Times!

2008-05-01T14:18:00.002-07:00

These pics represent typical behavior from my two girls...crazy times.

2008-05-01T14:14:00.002-07:00

The girls got these cute "shirt dresses" from Grandma Nancy from their trip to Mexico. They loved wearing them and I just thought they looked so cute. Lilli loves picking all our flowers! She says they're for her "wedding day"...We're in trouble!

We love to paint!

2008-04-14T16:27:00.001-07:00

Monday Playgroup @ Splash!

2008-04-14T16:08:00.003-07:00

Today we went to our Monday playgroup at this place called "Splash!" The girls love swimming so it was a perfect place on a rainy day. The water was so warm! We will definitely be going back there soon. When we arrived Lilli jumped right in the water, but Abbi sat on the edge and observed for a bit. A little later Abbi cried for a second and I thought she was just scared of the prospect of getting in, however, when we were standing I noticed her leg was swollen. Another mom had seen a fairly big spider on the edge earlier, so it hit me that she got bit while sitting by the edge. Thankfully we found the spider and killed it. Poor Abbi...hence the reason why she looks a little sad.

Fun Times in Bend, OR...

2008-04-14T16:02:00.002-07:00

We went to Bend this past weekend to celebrate Grandma Nancy's bday. Cake yummy. The girls also had a fun time at the park down by the river. It was 75 degrees outside! Spring is starting to arrive (finally)...We met our friend Greta down at the park...that is her son in the bottom pic (Kayden). Lilli and Abbi need a little brother..huh??:)

Last video...

2008-04-06T19:55:00.003-07:00

We decided to do another round of happy birthday. They seemed a little more excited with the prospect of a real birthday cake!

26 years old...

2008-04-06T19:46:00.003-07:00

Here are a few pics from our birthday celebration. The girls are eating their favorite food....cake and ice cream! It is SO difficult getting Abbi to look at me for a pic while she is so consumed with the food:)

happy birthday to me!

2008-04-06T18:32:00.003-07:00

This was a small video taken on my birthday of the girls singing to me. Notice the sibling conflict...

Random times...

2008-03-29T20:15:00.003-07:00

Day in the life of the girls...Abbi loves reading to her baby doll. The second pic was when I checked on her when she was sleeping. She looked so cute. The last pic is Lilli in her random outfits...she is now her own fashion designer and will not let me pick out what she wears every day...it's fun to see what she comes up with!

Sunday Afternoon Hike...

2008-03-29T20:11:00.003-07:00

Here is a view of Eugene from the top of a small mountain near our house. We are slowly discovering these fun hiking trails, as well as the beauty of Eugene. The girls were in Bend, so we had a chance to go on a fun date. Good times.

Just Hanging Out...

2008-03-29T19:55:00.003-07:00

The weather in Eugene is completely fickle...one minute it will be raining, while the next it is sunny and beautiful. We went for a walk this afternoon and got to chase a field full of Canadian geese. Here are a few pics of us after our adventures...more later...

Grandma's knitting creations...

2008-03-07T08:08:00.003-08:00

Here are two cute sweaters my mom has made the girls! Notice Lilli's outfit...she comes up with quite the combos these day. It is fun to watch.

Happy Valentine's Day!

2008-02-14T16:29:00.002-08:00

Happy Valentine's Day! Grandma Nancy has a tradition of always getting the girls a cute Vday outfit...here we are this year! Notice the short haircuts:)

Happy Birthday Josh!

2008-02-14T10:49:00.004-08:00

Yesterday Josh turned 25! We had a good day. We ate dinner at Red Robin...yum! I made him a cheesecake and we opened presents. It is so much fun having children around for birthdays...they get so excited! Here was a cute pic of Lilli with Daddy.

It was snowing...

Here are some pics from our first and only snow of the year. This is a rare occasion in Eugene.
The girls had a good time making a snowman...

Abbi's Haircut

2008-02-07T20:26:00.001-08:00

I was taking a shower and came out to see a large mass of hair on the floor. I ask Lilli what happened and Abbi quickly said "HAIRCUT". Lilli had decided Abbi needed some taken off the back, so she managed to get into daddy's haircutting kit and find some scissors. It's amazing what kids will do when nobody is looking...
This picture really doesn't do justice to the large chunk out of the back...she wouldn't let me get a good pic...
"Oh know, Mommy is going to cut my hair!" (Below: Mommy's haircut)

Today was my second birthday! I had fun celebrating with family and friends. I got a lot of fun presents including an artist easel...now I get to make a mess with paints and markers...thanks Grandpa and Grandma. My favorite part of the party was the pinata that Uncle Ry Ry and Aunt Steph brought...it was full of candy! wow...I'm so tired, but look forward to playing with my toys tomorrow!

This weekend we were in Portland visiting Josh's grandfather who has been in the hospital recovering from a brain surgery. Thankfully it looks like he will recover fine. We had a great time hanging out with grandma and grandpa! Here we are at Old Spaghetti Factory...

My first princess bday party...

I got to go to my friend Jasmine's 3rd birthday party today. Cinderella and Snow White were there too! I loved dressing up like a princess. We made jewelry boxes, ate cake and ice cream, and danced to princess music. I was tired after it was all over, but I'm sure glad I went!

Crazy drivers...

Grammie and Grampie got us a fun, pink car for Christmas! We had a blast learning to drive for the first time.
Abbi cried everytime we had to take her out...she loves a thrill.

Josh and I were in Bend this weekend visiting his family for an early Christmas. We had a great time and enjoyed a meal at the Sunriver Resort. Here we are and still smiling after being married three years on Weds!

This little girl has such a sweet spirit.

Her playful personality is addicting.

I just recently discovered this whole "blog" deal from my sis in law (thanks Em!). I think it is a great idea to post pics of our little family and our daily activities.
