Welcome

We set up our adoption blog so you can get to know our family a little better. I started blogging back in 2007 and have kept up with it over the years. At the end of every year, we print off our blog for that year and give it to Daniel's mom for her Christmas present. She keeps all of her children's yearly journals in a notebook that we will get back one day to pass down to our kids. I try to keep it up to date as much as I can.


When we decided to start the adoption process, I decided to make an identical blog for birth mothers to read. Everything that I write about my family on our personal blog, I copy it over to my adoption blog. I understand that an adoption profile only gives limited information about us and we want you to have the opportunity to really get to know who we are and what we like to do as a family. Our adoption blog will show you who we were even before we adopted our boys. Feel free to read as much as you want or click on the links up above!

Girls Weekend

Last Friday, Daniel went on a scout camping trip with the young men in church. So since Daniel was gone and my friend Robyn's husband was gone (he was also on the camping trip) we decided to have a girl's night. Robyn brought her daughter, her daughter's friend and then we met two other ladies from our ward (church) at the Cheesecake Factory. It was so good! Then we decided to just do some shopping after wards. Luckily it wasn't too cold outside since we were at an outdoor shopping center.

The next day my best friend, Deanna, came over to hang out with me since Daniel was still gone. We decided to watch Gossip Girl since that is our show that we watch together. I have been recording them onto my DVR and we are really behind. Then when Daniel got home and Deanna's husband Mark came over, we all went to eat at BJ's restaurant. It is my favorite place to eat and they just opened one by our house. We got to eat for FREE since Deanna works at one and her old manager changed locations over to the one by us. So nice of her!
