Rylie is a little toddler full of energy and her own thoughts + opinions. Since her vocabulary continues to grow, it has been so fun to be able to have mini conversations with her. She continues to make us laugh and her personality is such a joy. Aaron and I are loving this season! Emmaline… Continue reading being shaver kids || 22 months old & 5 months old
Aaron and I made the decision that our sabbath (day of rest / day to refuel for the week ahead) would be Saturdays. In this season, the day is fully dedicated to spending time with each other and our kids. This is something we implemented in December 2017 and it has become a crucial aspect… Continue reading the pumpkin patch 2018
Rylie is going to be 2 soon, and even though I’ve said it before, I feel like we have officially crossed into full on toddler mode. Talking, playing, interacting, exploring, needing to be disciplined, etc. I am so thankful for this joyful little girl who adds so much to our lives! Little love, Emmaline, is… Continue reading being shaver kids || 21 months old & 4 month old
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,… Continue reading seattle trip 2018 overview
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,… Continue reading being shaver kids || 20 months old & 3 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 ❤ I’m sure you’ll see the trend in videos of Rylie – getting into things and… Continue reading being shaver kids || 19 months old & 2 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… Continue reading being shaver kids || 18 months old & 1 month old
After putting a collage of videos together every month since Rylie was a newborn, I knew this was something I wanted to continue. In a mass editing session I did a couple weeks ago catching up on videos from Rylie’s days as a 13 – 16 month old, I got to 17 month old Rylie and… Continue reading being shaver kids || 17 months old & newborn
Catching Rylie on video these past 6 months was more sporadic just because so much was going on, but moving to a new house, taking her first steps, becoming a big sister, goodness – she’s had a lot of big things happen😝 If you want to read about Rylie's milestones and personality, check out this… Continue reading being rylie || 13 – 16 months old
On Friday (5.18.18), I woke up with a desire to get out of the house and do some kind of activity with my crew. I started Googling things to do around town and eventually came across the zoo. I offered it as an option at breakfast and Aaron said that sounded great. We checked prices… Continue reading becoming zoo members
