Like Emmaline & Paisley, Aaron and I planned to find out the gender of our fourth baby at 16-weeks. The way my appointments fell I didn’t have a normal appointment scheduled with my doctor, but she told me I could come in just for the sneak peek ultrasound so that’s what I did. I scheduled […]
the shaver crew
christmas 2020
I had intentionally planned Christmas Eve day (12.24.20) to be empty to allow for a relaxing, no-stress day. Ha. Yeah right. Although it was slower than the previous days, it included a last minute run to WalMart which was eventful and exactly what I didn’t want to do. I told the girls as we pulled […]
a different christmas
This entire week I’ve been confused what day it is. But when I woke up this morning, I knew it was December 24th – Christmas Eve. I intentionally don’t have plans today outside of some light food prep and a few evening traditions with our little family after Aaron gets home from work. But as […]
tribe shaver cookie decorating – 2020
On Saturday (12.12.20), we spent the evening decorating cookies with the tribe (Aaron’s family). We had pizza for dinner, played Christmas movies in the background and had a cookie decorating competition 😉 Here are mine and Aaron’s contributions to the contest. I tried to copy Arthur Christmas’ sweater and Aaron took the ugly sweater approach. […]
thanksgiving 2020
This year for Thanksgiving, we decided to drive up to Illinois to spend it with Aaron’s grandma. Rick rented an Air BnB and it was the perfect spot for all of us to stay during our trip. On Thanksgiving day, Rylie helped Amberlyn (Aaron’s sister) set the table. Amberlyn is a wedding planner so she […]
bye toothless
A little over a month ago, the kitten Toothless unexpectedly came into our lives. Aaron and I agreed to keep him, but a week later I found out I was pregnant which instantly made it more difficult to have a kitten around since I’m technically not supposed to change the litter box. Once Kylo came […]
rylie’s 4th birthday day
Rylie’s birthday day started off with her sleeping in a little bit, which left me thankful but also anxious to celebrate her. I had our family favorite breakfast casserole cooked and a box full of donuts waiting to be consumed along with a couple gifts. When she awoke, we reminded her that today was her […]
rylie’s 4th birthday party || avatar, the last airbender themed
Aaron introduced me to Avatar, The Last Airbender while we were dating and it quickly became a favorite. Earlier this year, he introduced it to Rylie and Emmaline and they immediately became intrigued and fell in love with the story and characters. They have since become obsessed and it was a quick request from Rylie […]
pregnant with baby #4 – family reactions
When it comes to pregnancy announcements, words never do it justice. So I’m not even going to bother writing and just post this video for you to witness. 🙂 Enjoy!
welcome back, kylo
Wednesday (10.28.20) in one word was “unexpected.” After a low-key morning, I walked into our bedroom to hear Aaron say, “MeeMaw just called me and said, ‘I just got a phone call from Animal Control and your dog was turned into them by the airpot.’” “Uh, what?” Aaron gave his grandma his old phone & […]
