2018 guys! Man, what a year. Full of joys, laughs and sweet memories in addition to struggles, heartbreak and hard decisions. Here are the highlights of the Shaver Crew’s 2018 || I continued doing bump-updates (week 26 – week 39) God told me that [right now] […]

the last 6 months
Saturday morning, we were sitting on the couch when Aaron looked up from his phone and said, “how does this sound? I’m posting it on Facebook.” Okay… Aaron hasn’t posted anything on Facebook since our pregnancy announcement (with Rylie), maaayyybbbeee he posted something the day she was born – but that’s it. So when […]
happy 25th birthday aaron
Guys – today is my husband’s 25th birthday, and I am all kinds of excited about it! Not because we have grandiose plans, but because I love having an excuse to love on my man (not that I need an excuse, but birthdays are a big deal to me 😉). Since it’s kind of […]
seattle trip 2018 overview
From the moment we got off the plane, we were going places and seeing people. In addition to seeing our precious friends and celebrating Dan’s accomplishment, we got to enjoy a little bit of down time. We even got to see my mom’s family and meet my cousin’s son. In the midst of the whirlwind, […]
flying with two under two
Flying from Birmingham to Seattle is a long flight with a mandatory layover, so it’s definitely not a hop and a skip away – it’s a jump. A really long jump. And when you are trying to contain your extremely active toddler and easily flustered 4 month old baby, every minute feels like an hour. […]

summer blast 2018
Earlier this week was Church of the Highlands’s kids conference – Summer Blast! It’s very similar to the well-known VBS (Vacation Bible School) that lots of churches have, but it’s only 3 days (Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday). Summer Blast is a ton of fun and even though I loved serving Summer Blast in 2016 & Summer Blast […]
lake day + sparklers
Since Aaron and I were feeling much better after our illness over the weekend, on the 4th of July we decided to go to the lake. Rick & Michelle came with us, but they were not feeling well, so their participation was minimal. Rylie hadn’t been to the lake since August last year when she was […]
father’s day 2018
First, let me say I hope you all had a wonderful Father’s Day! I hope you enjoyed celebrating your earthly father &/or saying an extra “thank you” to your heavenly Father. Our morning started with Aaron off to church to serve in the Clubhouse (preschool age kids) and I took my time getting ready for […]
mother’s day 2018
Celebrating Mother’s Day was a weekend event for our family – Aaron and I took both our moms and the girls out to the ball park on Friday (5.11.18) for a baseball game. We had a great time and Rylie was actively paying attention for all 9 innings. She cheered when our team succeeded and […]
beaches + strawberries in Florida
Last week (5.3-5.18), the Shaver Crew went to visit some friends who live in Florida. They actually came for a night a few weeks ago, and generously offered we could come visit them anytime. Since our weekday schedule is more flexible while I’m on maternity leave, we decided this was the best time and head […]
