Our Story

Welcome to our blog! Here's the quick and dirty about us:

Chad and I met on our first day of college at Utah State University. We started studying together, since we were in the same math class and lived in the same apartment building. But, those late-night study sessions quickly turned into excuses to hang out together. And that's how our story began. After two years of dating, we tied the knot on August 17, 2002 in Salt Lake City, Utah.

We currently live in Tucson, Arizona. We moved here after living in South Florida for five years, where Chad graduated from medical school and completed his internship year of residency. He is now working for the University of Arizona completing a three-year anesthesiology residency. I was fortunate enough to keep my job from Florida and now work remotely from home. I am the manager of advertising and communications for the business school at Nova Southeastern University.

And--most importantly--Chad and I are thrilled to be parents! Our little angel Reece was born on Jan. 26, 2010 and our handsome little Jace was born on June 30, 2011. We are so blessed to be the mom and dad of such darling and sweet kids.

Look at Me...I'm Three!

Today is my 3-month birthday!
Look at all the things I know how to do...

  • I smile (and melt my parent's heart every time I do!)
  • I hold my own head up.
  • I grab things with my death grip (seriously...she has the strongest grip I've ever felt!)
  • I fall asleep all by myself, as long as I have my binky and am swaddled good and snug!
  • I sleep for about 5 hours consecutively at night (finally!)
  • I have my ears pierced (gotta love that baby bling!)
  • I sometimes giggle (but you have to work pretty hard to get one out of me!)
  • I still have a mullet, but am starting to get some peach fuzz on the top of my head.
  • I jump in my Jumparoo and sit in my Bumbo chair (I'm sooo BIG!!!)
  • I love to watch the TV (shame on my mom and dad for teaching to do that!)
  • I gnaw on carrots, and can even hold it myself and put it in my own mouth.
  • I am starting to drool...a lot.
  • I love going on stroller rides with my mommy and daddy.
  • I like to grab my mommy's hair.
  • I still have blue eyes (not sure how my brown-eyed mommy and hazel-eyed daddy did that!)
  • And of course, I still eat, poop and sleep for much of the day!
I am the cutest baby in the whole world and am such a sweet little girl!

what a cutie! happy 3 month birthday Reece :) My sister-in-law and brother-in-law have a seven month old blue eyed, blonde haired babe. Yet, his mom practically looks some sort of latina with super dark brown eyes, olive skin and nearly black hair and his dad has super dark hair and emerald green eyes..lol. They don't know how Jack got his coloring either ;) Even though Reece has blue eyes, I still see a lot of you both in her, she's a beauty :)

Erik and I both have green eyes, and AJ has blue, blue, blue eyes. That comes from my mom's side of the family. Reagan is almost 7 months old, and her eyes have been changing color from the dark baby blue, but still haven't decided what they are going to be yet. They look more green now... Anyway, give Reece time. If there are going to change, it could take several more months.

She is darling. Thanks for letting me hold her at church. She is so well behaved & does have a death grip! That girl is going to be strong like her mama!
