I miss doing “day in the life” posts, and I really should share with you guys more often what our day to day looks like. So today, I’m sharing this past week while my mom was in town from Seattle, WA. Granted, our days were pretty abnormal to accommodate being with our guest and we […]
tribe shaver
spencer’s baby shower
Understandably, I was questioning having a baby shower for baby #4 because, well… baby #4. But once we found out we were having a boy, I instantly wanted a boy shower. I wasn’t wowed by what I saw on Pinterest when I typed in “boy baby shower.” The popular themes of trucks, jungle and forest […]
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 […]
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 & […]
paisley’s 1st birthday party || winnie-the-pooh themed
It’s always been a dream of mine to have a Winnie-the-Pooh themed birthday party for a child. Plus I’ve called Paisley “Sweet Baby Paisley” since she was born (“she’s sweet as honey!” was a common phrase I said), it seemed fitting that her party would be based upon a favorite book character. I thought it […]
our first family camping trip
About a week ago, Rick & Michelle (Aaron’s parents) bought a camper. Even though Alabama is crazy hot right now, we wanted to take advantage of the time Aaron has off work (due to his Covid recovery). Schedules worked out with Rick & Michelle so we packed up and left for a two day camping […]
summer swims
Ryan and Amberlyn (Aaron’s sister and her husband) invited us to Ryan’s grandparents to hang out in their pool. Uh, YES! We arrived and immediately jumped in. Well, everyone but Emmaline. Rylie loves water. She loves to swim and has really enjoyed jumping in this year. Our little fish for sure! Emmaline, on the other […]
