becoming the norm

It's not uncommon now for me to fall asleep during Breeson's 1-2 o'clock feeding in the morning. It's happened a couple of times where I've started feeding him at 2ish, and before I realize it, I look at the clock and it's almost 3 or even after. The funny thing is, I wake up and look at the clock and realize I've been sleeping for over an hour in the rocking chair, but then look down at him and he's also sound asleep in my lap. I'm sure it'd be quite the sight to see if anyone walked in; which I'm glad no one does for obvious reasons. :-)

2 years

At 4:13 p.m., 2 years ago on this date, Jamie and I said our "I do's". It's funny how time plays tricks on us into thinking it seems so long ago, yet at the same time it feels like yesterday. The journey has been wonderful, challenging, joyful, hard and rewarding; mostly wonderful though!!
On that day, I married a wonderful, Godly man. Jamie's heart is full of great intention that fully thrives on serving HIM, as well as those around him.
I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful husband who doesn't mind doing the "little things" in life (like fixing me dinner, changing Breeson's diapers, and the list goes on...) to help me out. He is such a servant!
At the same time, he's passionate about his faith truly desires to walk closely with our Savior. His example leads our family.

August of 2007 was definitely a month that had a lot of changes. We moved from Alabama to Colorado. We got married in Kansas between the move. We had a quick honeymoon in California, then finished our move to Colorado where Jamie started Grad school and I started a new job. Since then, life has brought us a whirlwind of events. We now have a sweet baby boy that has changed our lives forever!!

This was us then...


This is us now...

Bath Time

Ever since Breeson was born, he has NEVER liked baths. It's a bit disheartening when I see friends' pictures of their babies enjoying their bath time (eh-hm, Ashley, Jaclyn, Jenny, and everyone else out in the world!!). Here a few pic's of Breeson sharing his feelings on what he thinks about bath time. I tend to believe that as a boy, he is starting at a young age to not like them. Also, below is a short video that will give you a better idea on how much he dislikes them. And yes...we go through this EVERY night. :(



Immediately after we take him out of the water, he instantly calms down. Of course, only to scream again when I get out the lotion.

Swartz Reunion

On Friday afternoon, we drove to Western Kansas for my late-Grandfather's family reunion. To be honest, we only went b/c my parents, Grandma, and an Aunt/Uncle that I never get to see were also there. Since it was only 3 hours away, we decided to take the short drive and see them.
Here's a few pic's...

Sharon Springs, Kansas

We are headed to Western Kansas today for a family reunion on my Grandma's side of the family. Sharon Springs, KS to be exact. According to Wikipedia, the 2000 census gave the town population of 885. Not far from it is Mt. Sunflower. Although it's not actually a mountain, it is the highest point in Kansas, which is funny because it's next to the lowest point in Colorado. It is 4,039 feet.
Check out the picture of the "Summit" below: :)



For all you adventurous vacationers out there, if you are looking for the perfect get-away...I think you need to check out Sharon Springs. ;) We'll let you know how our stay is at the Oak Tree Inn!!! Giddy-up.

so bad...but so good!

These tasty little coffee treats were brought over by our friends, Armando and Sara last night. They come from Costa Rica. However, I should've known not to eat coffee treats before bed. After Breeson's 1:30 a.m. feeding I didn't go back to bed. :( Needless to say, I got a lot of Thank You cards written; I've been needing to get that done for awhile. I did catch a quick nap on the couch sometime around 5ish, only to be abruptly woken by a screaming child b/c he had a wet diaper. Ugh.
Anyways, if you want to buy these, you can order them from Costa Rica here.
They really are good. I guess I didn't help that I inhaled/snarfed about 10 of them down in a matter of minutes.
