    Weekend Baking with the Kiddies {Buttars Bread}

    We had so much fun the other morning baking coffee cakes for the family. I haven’t done a lot of baking with the kids thus far because it requires so much patience and there is a guaranteed mess at the end! So I decided to set aside a morning that would be spent baking with the kids. I find that when I go into an activity knowing it will be messy, but being mentally prepared for it, it ends up being tons of fun! It’s much easier for me to embrace it when I’ve prepared. It’s e

    Beautiful Fall Nights in Colorado

    We have been blessed with beautiful weather this fall! The weather has been amazing and we’ve been trying to soak it all up. I love evenings like this when we can eat dinner and take the kids outside to run off some steam before bath & bedtime. Blakely is KILLING me in this adorable outfit. She looks like a grandma to me for some reason and I seriously couldn’t look at her without laughing! But seriously, the fox sweater?! The cutest. And those Valentino look-alike flats?! I

    Denver Style Magazine – Denver Boutiques I love + What I’ve Learned on my Motherhood Jou

    Hey guys! Today I’m sharing a bit about a couple Denver boutiques that I frequent. This adorable top (I love a patterned top!) is from Fabrik in Aspen Grove. I love the style of this top and the keyhole adds even more interest. I really enjoy shopping this boutique and the service there is wonderful! These destroyed denim jeans are a favorite of mine. They are from Pinks in Bonnie Brae. I am a huge fan of destroyed bottoms and love mixing this more casual look with more sleek

    Fairplay with Friends

    A couple weekends ago we went up to Fairplay to visit friends. Our good friends bought a cozy cabin up there and they’ve had so much fun being up in the mountains with their little family! Tim and I dream about one day owning a cabin up in the mountains! A great place to get away and make family memories. Let the kids run wild, explore, get dirty, etc. We got up to the cabin and our little ones loved it! They got to be somewhere new with friends and enjoyed every second! The

    Mountain Adventure with my Kiddies + I’m OLD

    A couple weeks ago a friend and I took the kiddies on a little adventure up to the mountains. We had so much fun packing everyone up and spending the day exploring our beautiful state (which I’m guilty of not doing a lot of until recently!) The kids both LOVED the massive amount of leaves and sticks. There was so much to see and the giant yellow trees surrounding us were gorgeous! I’m so grateful to live in such a beautiful state and look forward to more exploring as my kids

    Pumpkin Patchin

    Every fall I look forward to going to the pumpkin patch with our little family. We always seem to go later than most because the pumpkins are already picked over! Note to self: GO EARLIER! Anywho, the kids had a ball. Blakely loved walking through the pumpkins and playing in the dirt. Ryder kept pointing out all the broken pumpkins and was equally upset every time he saw one. Ha. Sweet kid. Worried about the pumpkins feelings. 😉 We love the food trucks, live music and just b

    Instagram Roundup!

    Hope you’re all having a wonderful Tuesday so far! I am rounding up some of my recent Instagram posts here and relinking the items or blogs so you can shop them. I’m so so excited for fall. As the kids are getting a bit older, I’m so excited to create memories and traditions. What are things you guys recommend doing with little ones. We always try to hit up the pumpkin patch, but what else is there to do with little ones that is super fun? I may attempt to make caramel apples

    Blakely’s First Birthday Shoot with Kathleen Peachey Photography

    Hey guys! I’m so excited to finally be sharing with you our photos from Blakely’s first birthday! I had been planning this shoot for a while and knew I wanted a “beachy” look. I know I’ve said it before, but Kathleen is sooo gifted. She is the sweetest and most calm person I’ve ever met. I swear when I’m around her all my worries just fly away. It’s like magic. Ha. But seriously, I have a ton of friends who have used her for their family shoots and fall in love right away. I

    Celebrating Blake’s 1st Birthday with Family

    The night before Blakes birthday party, we had a little celebration with just us. She got her first taste of cake and a couple gifts from mommy and daddy. She was sooo cute eating this cake. And of course, she loved it!! Ryder struggled a little bit with her getting all the attention, yummy cake and presents! But he did pretty good. The picture below of him sneaking a taste of her cake KILLS ME! 🙂 I am so beyond grateful for these babies! Sorry in advance for the picture ove

    Mommy Monday – Sacrifice

    Hey guys! Hope you started your Monday off with a skip in your step. My Mondays are always better when I get a lot of “chores” done over the weekend. I’ve been seriously slacking lately and felt so overwhelmed with my to-do list yesterday, but we accomplished a lot of it! Church. Check. Birthday party for a friend (with horsie rides and food trucks!). Check. Laundry. Check. Organized kids closets and my own. Check. Wash cars. Check. Family dinner. Check. The to-do list never

    Blakely Gray – ONE year old!

    Holy smokes! Our baby girl is one year old! WHHHYYYY does time have to go by so fast?! These photos were taken at the park about a month before her birthday. She already seems so much older! These photos aren’t the best. I was trying to shoot in manual and work on my photog skills. I learned my lesson to never try something new when it involves little babies who are not patient. So, I did my best to edit them and fix them up in Lightroom. But, I’ve still got a lot to learn… T

    Mommy Monday – Fitspiration

    Hey guys! Today for Mommy Monday, my friend Sam is talking about mom bods and why we shame one another. Er, more like, WHY are we shaming one another. I have never actually hung out with Sam. But this crazy professional dance world is so awesome in the way it connects all of us together! Sam was a Denver Nuggets Dancer before me and I have a vivid memory of her. (She doesn’t even know this story.) I was on Mammoth Wild Bunch (aka Dancers) when she was on Nuggets. Nuggets and

    Summer Lovin’ Had Me a Blast

    Now that July has come and gone (and their birthday parties) I can officially say I have a three-year-old and a one-year-old. Which makes me sooooooo, so happy. And shocked. And sad. And lots of other things. I know it sounds cliche (and every mom under the sun says this) but time is going way too fast!!! These little babies are my whole world and I truly can’t believe how quickly the past three years have gone. Blakely seems older every day. Learning new tricks, wearing her

    Ryder Paul Turns THREE: Part 2

    WARNING: Longest post ever. Oops. Hopefully it’s worth the read! 🙂 Tonight I’m sharing pictures and details from Ryder’s 3rd Birthday Party. I have a love for throwing parties! Especially for my babies. I decided I was going to keep Ryder’s small this year because I knew I’d be throwing a big bash for Blakely’s 1st! (Their birthdays are two weeks apart, so it is very busy during the month of July.) It was pretty easy for me to decide on a theme for Ryder’s party because he l

    Ryder Paul Turns THREE: Part 1

    My baby boy is three. I can’t believe it. He is the cutest little man I’ve ever seen and continues to melt my heart and crack me up. We took these pictures before his third birthday and he was SO excited about his new digger. He kinda looks too big for it! 😦 I threw him a construction themed birthday party so I wanted some pics of him in his get-up before his big day came around. Ryder loves Lincoln. He runs around with him, carrying Lincoln’s ball. Never throwing it, causin

    OMG! I am so excited about Mommy Monday this week! I met Erin through our nerdy doctor hubbies. When we met, sparks flew. JK But seriously, she is my spirit animal. I love her. She is also a blogger and writes some funny shit. She’s always encouraging me to be MEEEE on my blog. (**Note: I am a extremely sarcastic, curse like a sailor, blunt, foot-in-my-mouth, call it like I see it mother effer. I’m not necessarily proud of these things. It’s just the truth.)

    So, I take to take 100 pictures to document Blakes first pony tail. I mean, seriously?! The cutest!!! 🙂 I haven’t ever tried to put her hair up and OMG. I die. The best. She wasn’t in a picture-taking mood and is so squirmy these days. She also has the hardest time opening her eyes when it’s bright out, causing her to make the cutest squishy/squinty-eyed babe I’ve ever seen. (**Don’t mind that I am legit in pjs at 4:00pm. Oh, and covered in milk, food, and who knows what els

    Mommy Monday – Golden Nuggets for Overcoming Postpartum Anxiety

    Today for Mommy Monday my old friend, KE (Kristin), is sharing a bit about her experience with postpartum anxiety. I have known KE since making the Denver Nuggets Dancers in 2004. She was my captain and we have been friends since! She has a positive energy about her and is so much fun. She’s always been such a giving friend, willing to offer you the shirt off her back and somehow make you feel like you did her the favor! She’s the sweetest and makes everyone around her feel c

    Blakely Gray – 11 Months Old

    Our sweet baby girl is growing too fast! She’s such a little goofball. I’m really starting to day dream about getting our nails painted together, braiding her hair, etc. So much fun ahead! But also, so sad how quickly this year has gone. She just recently got her 7th tooth. Poor girl has been teething HARD the past week or so. Breaks my heart to see her so uncomfortable. Tooth and I have been starting to give her a larger variety of foods. She loooooves to eat! Ryder was neve
