Firefighter Bryce!

What will little man be when he grows up?!?!? At this point and time I'd have to guess a firefighter~ Bryce wakes up and wonders where his hat is...I'm pretty sure he'd sleep in it if I let him. Doesn't he make the cutest little firefighter you ever did see~!!

Outside on a WARM winter day!!

A weekend in the low 60's!! We'll take it! We're so blessed to be surrounded by several beautiful parks and playgrounds! Down the street from our house is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL Catholic Church (just as pretty inside as it is out!). The Church has a FENCED IN playground...Spent the majority of our Sat. morning running and playing outside!! Sunshine, oh how we love you!!

The Fever blues....

Grumpy it's winter time...and with that brings many germy bugs....and we sure are experiencing a lot of sickness this flu season. The last two nights lil man has been fighting a fever...it is soo pitiful to see your sweet little child feel anything but wondeful. Momma's pushing many fluids and hoping to see her bright shining child come back to 'life' soon! Until then....she's enjoying the extra snuggles and love this lil man is giving out! Feel better buddy!

Home Sweet Home

Five years ago you could have never convinced me that I'd live in Tennessee, let alone call it HOME. Crazy how my idea of life could go in such a different direction...Here I sit in Tennessee and feel so blessed to be a part of this beautiful state!! This summer we decided to go ahead and hunt for a home in the area we liked best-Farragut. Luckily, Mark and I fell in love with the same house!! As most of you know we went through many obstacles to get here (Our original move in date was Sept, but didn't own the home until Nov.)...need a reminder??? click on this...(Kawatuska ).
I guess all in all it was worth the long wait...Since Nov. we've had fun filling the empty rooms with our belongings and trying to make this new house feel like 'home'. Here is a post to give you a  sneak peak of our latest project!! (oh, and also the Rocky Top song...seemed very fitting too, ha!)


Little man has loved the extra room to run and play around!!

I guess I should end by saying this....who knows where life will spin us in five years from now...could still be here, back up north or possibily even the north pole somewhere else, but whereever life might take us I know our little family will make that feel like 'home' too!

30 years YOUNG

30 Years YOUNG...Wasn't it Yesterday that I was dating my 21 year old boyfriend?!? Crazy to think he was 'old' to me at that time, Ha! 
Yesterday, Jan. 8, at 5:18pm, Mark turned the big 3-0! We celebrated by having family meet us at Wasabi (YUM), followed by cake and ice cream at our place! For those who are wondering, yes he seems a wee bit older...might possibly have to buy him a walker soon ;).
With all joking aside, Happy Birthday to my best friend and the world's best daddy!! Here's to hoping your 30's are nothing but a blessing!!

A Special Gift!

I could sit and watch my boys play together all day and night long. I love seeing the love that the two of them share…melts this momma’s heart!! Mark’s dad was a great guitar player! He had a few different guitars (string guitar, electric guitar, 12-string guitar) and Mark has self taught himself how to play each of them. As I watch him play to Bryce, I often think how his dad did the same for him! The Dad/Son relationship is like nothing else, and I’m so thankful Mark was shown such a great example of that, even though it was cut short at the young age of 16. I pray the two of them will always be the best of buds and that even in Bryce’s teenage years (yes, I said the T word), he holds his dad in the highest regard!

Music by Bryce

Grandpa Drost can play almost every instrument he comes in contact with. He has what we call a musical ‘ear’.  This past Christmas he picked out Harmonicas for the boys! Bryce is starting early and really trying to get that same musical ‘ear’ that both his grandpas have/had.  Thanks for such a great gift Grandpa!! When I’m famous some day, I’ll be sure to dedicate my music to you ;).

Cousins having fun at Christmas 2010

It is such a blessing for Bryce to have a cousin so close to his age. It has been so much fun watching the two of them grow into the little toddlers that they are! This little video cracks me up! I love how they copy each other! Can’t wait for our next visit with Mr. Carson!! Ps, who needs Christmas presents when you have a great grandma that has a very good smelling candle *wink
