This past month was hilarious! Rylie started having conversations with us non-stop (the very first time she actually did this I caught it on video 😃) and she is learning more and more words. Emmaline is also talking up a storm and her coos melt my heart every time! The love-fest between these two continues, […]

random photos of rylie + emmaline – july 2018
I can’t believe we’re already in the last full week of July. This month flew by! Random photos of the kids has become somewhat of a monthly tradition that I certainly didn’t plan on but have definitely enjoyed 😀 So without further ado, here are July’s random photos. || 4th of July Photo Shoot: […]
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 […]

being shaver kids || 19 months old & 2 month old
If I had to describe my babies right now, I’d say 19 month old Rylie knows no fear and is very talkative, curious, brave, smart and determined. 2 month old Emmaline is passionate and unpredictable but oh so sweet <3 I’m sure you’ll see the trend in videos of Rylie – getting into things and […]
random photos of rylie + emmaline – june 2018
It’s somewhat turned into a game I play with myself to see how many photos I took that didn’t make it into a legit blog post. The number is actually fairly consistent, so I guess that’s good 😛 || Sitting in Cabinets: She opened the door, turned around, sat down and started laughing! […]
first experience with play-doh & my old dollhouse
As a Christmas gift, my aunt and uncle sent Rylie a box full of goodies, including bath colors and a Play-Doh bucket. Since she was only 13 months old, we decided to hold off on letting her play with the Play-Doh until she was a tad older. Well, Saturday morning (6.16.18), that moment arrived. I […]
sarah’s 2nd birthday party
Sarah is a little girl that has been in Rylie’s class at church since we started putting Rylie in nursery. Over time, I grew to recognize her parents when they came to pick Sarah up (I was often serving that service). Her dad is on staff at that campus, so Aaron and I have interacted […]
being shaver kids || 18 months old & 1 month old
…and just like that, I am all caught up on videos! 😀 I feel like 18 month old Rylie did a lot of mental development. She can say most family member’s names – including her own 😀 She also can say “A, B, C” and sometimes “D & E.” Once we hit “F” she […]
ice cream treat + breakfast date
I was scrolling through my phone’s photos this morning and realized I didn’t post these memories in last Thankful Thursday’s post, so I decided to give them their own entry on the blog 😛 After a yummy homemade dinner on Friday (6.1.18), Aaron and I decided that ice cream sounded good so we packed […]
