Annual Family Pictures 2016

We had a great friend take our pictures this year. He did a great job of capturing our family. We think they turned out pretty amazing!  Love this family of mine!


Andrew and I (Rheanna) recently celebrated our 15th anniversary.  We feel so thankful to get to go through life together! 


Brandt turned 8 this week. He is in 2nd grade this year and is having a good time with his class. He is thoughtful, kind, goofy, and so much fun. He is loving all things Legos, Star Wars, Pokemon, and Super Heros. He loves riding his bike, playing with his friends and cousins, and watching movies.  He has been playing piano for about a year now and is working hard at that.  He also played flag football and had a really fun team. He is still a fish in the water, who loves to swim and continues to dive. 

Hunter recently turned 4! He does a fun 'mom preschool' with me and a few friends. He is helpful, a love bug, super fast, and independent. He just started a gymnastics class and keeps saying "I LOVE GYMNASTICS, IT IS SO MUCH FUN!" He is always climbing, jumping, and flipping as he runs around. He loves Blaze (monster truck cartoon), his new big wheel, and playing with his friends and cousins. 

These boys are simply the cutest, best friends around!

Spring Break March 2016

Andrew and Brandt went on a Back packing trip together for 3 days. They went with my brother Mark and his family. Brandt loves hiking and exploring with his cousins. So many great memories they shared on this adventure!

We like to move it, move it!!

 Throughout the year we love to keep active with the boys.  We all love swimming, so Hunter has been taking swimming lessons the last few months to get ready for summer. He is learning so much and is figuring it all out.
 Brandt's school does a great job of encouraging the kids to be healthy. They participate in the Kids Mercedes Marathon. Brandt and I kept track of 25 miles (we walked, hiked, or ran) during the months of October-January. Then we got to finish his last mile with the Marathon crew and got a finishers medal.  Such a great goal and we did it!

 Hunter has so much fun cheering Brandt on at his dive meet! Brandt did an amazing job the last few months adding to the dives he can do off the high board.  He was able to compete in both high and low board at a competition. He has worked so hard and it paid off. He got first on low board and second on high board. We were all so excited!


 In the morning after the boys get ready, and before Brandt heads off to school, Brandt and Hunter have been having fun playing together outside. They will toss the football, play baseball, soccer, or ride bikes.
For the last few weeks you can find us on Saturdays cheering on Brandt and his Soccer team.  He is doing Upward soccer through one of the local churches.  He is getting to learn to play and having a great time.
