JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: May 2013
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 27, 2013. A Weekend of Sweets, Hearts and Sweethearts. February starts the string of all the little no-stress holidays that we love to have fun with. This year we had lots of fun trying out some old (my Great Grandma Tuttle's) recipes and some new ones. Carder loved the sugar cookies and was happy to make as many batches as he could. They took our kids later that weekend while we went to a fun couples Sweetheart party. They did a bunch of minute to win-it games and not to brag or anything...

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: February 2013
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 18, 2013. The Cape (and a little Plymouth pit stop). With my Mom's visit coming close to an end, we made the most of a surprisingly warm Veterans Day and headed out to Cape Cod. There was this really cool sand bar just out a bit from the main shore. The boys and Ellie thought it was so cool to run out there and be on their own island. Carder loved running in the surf while Brenn loved running along the shore collecting sea shells as well as digging in the sand. This is all that is left o...

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: Thanksgiving (Utah)
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2015/03/thanksgiving-utah.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. Ok now rewind to Thanksgiving 2013 (I know I let it happen, over a year behind on this blog.pit in stomach! We arrived safe and sound late that night and the next morning (Thanksgiving) Jake's family had us all signed up for a 5k. It was freezing, it was running (both two of my not-so-favorite things), but seeing Carder run alongside us and be so excited to cross that finish line almost. Made me think about doing one of these again. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Joe and Laur...

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: October 2013
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 27, 2013. Since I knew I had been playing catch up for quite some time now, I wrote the kids birthday posts at the beginning of the Summer so I wouldn't forget what they were doing at that point as they change SO quickly in these early years. I am so glad I did this because especially Brenn has changed so much over the summer. At her second birthday she was just starting to acquire language, whereas. Now she is able to recognize all of her letters. Info packed away, fill in when I find it!

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: June 2013
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 30, 2013. Jake went to DC in February for a job interview and while he was there took the day to do a little walking tour of the city (see the pictures he took above). He came home ranting and raving about the "Best Burger he'd ever had" from this place called Shake Shack. Brenn scored herself a free ice cream cone which she was super happy about. I am not sure where more of it ended up , on her face or in her tummy! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Family and Friends Blogs. Aaron and Kara Barnard.

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: August 2013
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 27, 2013. One of Carder's favorite experiences in Boston was a trip to Sugar Heaven with his dad. It just made me sick to see the storefront directly in the background of the Marathon Bombing coverage. When we woke up I asked Jake if they'd caught the suspects. He told me that they had not and filled me in on what had unfolded through out the night. I just felt ill! The kids thought it was awesome to play with these friends and have all this space to run around (this house was a mansion c...

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: April 2013
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Boston was so much fun around the holiday time. There were so many events going on. We had a fun night attending a tree lighting right outside Faneuil Hall after we had enjoyed a fun dinner with a bunch of other young families in our Ward at Durgin Park (a resturaunt that has actually been around since 1827, its just never ceases to amaze me with getting to experience all the history of everything around here). Doing a good smile in the same. We played a couple rounds of "Sleep...

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: November 2013
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 10, 2013. Our Cross Country Road Trip. Now how come we just couldn't have packed them too! Top Right: Jake was rather proud of his tetris packing job. Bottom: The route that we drove. From Boston we drove to Jake's aunt and uncle's house in New Jersey. It was so much fun to get to spend one last time with our East Coast family! Jake and Carder in front of the Museum. The kids loved checking out the Boeing exhibit as well as seeing the model of the Wright brothers' first airplane. The kid...

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: October 2014
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 16, 2014. Family Fun in Phoenix. Having lived so far away from family when we were in Boston, we really came to appreciate having anybody semi-close. Jake's sister Allie, her husband Ryan and their little boy Carson (who's exactly 2 weeks younger than Brenn) lived about an hour away on the other side of the valley while Ryan is attending optometry school. The master fort builders. Leave it to Carder to come up with a way to make riding a motorcycle more exciting. The kids with their pum...

JAKE, HOLLI, CARDER & BRENN: September 2013
http://jakeandholli.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 22, 2013. For Memorial Day we were lucky enough to get Jake's Cousin Spencer and his wife Candice to come up for a visit. We had a great time exploring Boston with them- even though the first couple days of weather were not so accommodating! Carder just loves "his friend" Spencer. On Monday the weather finally got nice and we took full advantage of it by spending the day out in Concord exploring Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and Minute Man National Park. This is the cemetery where the famous a...
