We are loving the joys of parenthood and are happy to share little tidbits of our life together as a family.

Circus Circus Circus


Clapping for the jumping poodles

A quick snack between acts

Intermission with mommy

Amazed at the flexibility of the firefly ladies

The tigers were Kellen's favorite

Politely enjoying the show

Maggie and Nick visit


Aunt Maggie gave Kellen a bath in the kitchen sink.

Breakfast time with Uncle Nick

YEAH (clap-clap-clap)!!!! Maggie must have said something super inspiring to Kellen.

Heckling Taylor through the window

A nice little Saturday :)


Having fun with Daddy!

Walking on the ceiling.

Mommy was practicing with her new camera lens :)

Seriously....getting into EVERYTHING!


A quick nibble on some packing peanuts.

Working his glutes on the stairs.
Kellen is reaching to pull Charlie's dog bowls off the table. Realize they are on the table because if they are on the floor Kellen enjoys chipmunking the dog food and splashing around in the water.

Exploring the vacuum.

As you can see, our house has now become Kellen's playground. At times it is a little challenging to always be one or two steps ahead of the little mastermind. Even though we are always on the go chasing down our little buddy we love this stage in his development. It is awesome to watch his little mind wheels turn.

Oma and Opa visit

Kellen is always willing to lend a helping hand. Here he is helping Opa put new batteries in his music toy.

Cruising in my sled :)

Kellen had some chattering teeth so Opa added his vest to bulk up our little froggy!

Kellen is receiving some important life lessons from Daddy at the Dog Park.

Stare Down!

Oma is pulling Kellen in his little sled at the Dog Park. It was nice to get some fresh air, I think Charlie had the BEST time.

Quick Family Photo!

Due to weather Oma and Opa were not able to make their trip to Branson. Instead they came to our place for a last minute visit. We were so glad to have them with us for the weekend. Kellen got lots of attention and Austin and I were fortunate enough to have a couple baby-free dates :)

FEED ME!!!




Kellen would not let Austin enjoy his Yogurt solo. He decided to tackle Austin for some bites. He even decided to show off his new independent standing moves :) We've noticed that eating in front of Kellen just does not work, unless you are willing to share!

Beware Kleenex Boxes


Kleenex boxes are no longer safe. Kellen has discovered the endless fun of pulling out every last kleenex from the box. Its pretty cute and funny so we don't mind the clean-up too much.
