Elizabeth Rae

I finally got a few shots of Lizzie when she wasn't being Miss Fussypants. She actually is a pretty smiley baby, but it's hard to get her to smile when I'm behind the camera. These pictures really accentuate how bald she is...even though I do think her hair is starting to grow a little:)

I thought this expression was pretty funny:)

Birthday Weekend

Kory and I had a great day celebrating his 30th birthday. My mom watched the kids, so we had the whole afternoon and evening to spend together. We played some golf and then went to dinner and a movie...it was very nice. Such simple plans become the biggest treats after children enter the picture:) The weather was perfect for golfing, and I even played pretty decent after not playing for nearly 2 years! There's nothing like hitting a really good shot to bring back your passion for the game.

We saw Ocean's 13, which was pretty entertaining. I mean, you pretty much know what you're going to get going in, but it's still worth it. You can't help but think how much fun they must have making these movies...a bunch of friends hanging out in Vegas...doing a fluff movie...getting paid millions of dollars:) I could do that...but, alas, I don't look like George Clooney or Brad Pitt...which is good, I guess, since I am a girl.

On Sunday we drove over to the Mall of America to just hang out for a little bit. I went on a few rides with Knox, which was fun. He went on his first roller coaster...just the kiddie one, but he did get a little scared. I felt kind of bad, but I think he liked it anyway. Who would of thought the kiddie roller coaster would whip you around those corners like that!? Unfortunately, I didn't bring my camera to the mall, but I did get some shots of Knox last week that I wanted to share. Hopefully, Fussypants (Lizzie) will be more cooperative soon so I can get some shots of her.

The big 3-0!

Happy Birthday to my wonderful husband, Kory!! He is 30 today! I'm not going to give him too hard of a time because I guess I'm not far behind him. He says it doesn't bother him to turn 30, so I guess I'll buy that. I, on the other hand, am dreading turning 29. I have to congratulate him also, as he said he wanted to have 2 kids by the time he turned 30...he made it with 4 months to spare!

Here he is at about 3 months:)

Joining the ranks...

Well...I guess I might be the very last one to start a blog, but I'm finally doing it. Since I have two little ones now, I figured this might be a good way to update everyone and post pictures.

Knox just turned 2 on June 3 and Lizzie is 4 months. She just went in this week for her check-up and she's getting so big. She was 16 lbs. (90th percentile) and 26 in. (97th)...I really know how to grow them big! She started rolling over a few weeks ago and she's also teething already. I'm hoping for her sake and mine that the teeth come through soon.


Just wanted to share a few recent pictures of the kids at the cabin. Hopefully I can be somewhat diligent about blogging so I can share pictures more often:)
