The Monkey and Spike Chronicles: February 2012
http://ournewestmiracle.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
The Monkey and Spike Chronicles. Our unique journey to and through parenthood. Wednesday, February 8, 2012. Each January we celebrate two very special days for our family. Both my boys came home (Monkey from the hospital, Spike from Korea) during this month. On January 23, we celebrated Spike's family day. We flew home on that turquoise plane with our son, and our family was complete. Spike decided he wanted to paint pottery and eat at Flying Buffalo Wings, so we made it happen.

The Monkey and Spike Chronicles. Our unique journey to and through parenthood. Wednesday, September 19, 2012. Since I've been gone from the blogging world for so long, I thought I'd share some pictures that have been sitting onmy phone. Disney on Ice for Daddy's birthday. Hanging out on our favorite rock. Waiting for some very special friends to come home from Korea. Building one of their many structures. Tae Kwon Do lesson. Climbing on tanks in the "tank garden.". Thursday, September 13, 2012.

The Monkey and Spike Chronicles: December 2011
http://ournewestmiracle.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The Monkey and Spike Chronicles. Our unique journey to and through parenthood. Friday, December 30, 2011. Since I never put up a holiday post, I thought I'd update with a few pics. It was a strangely warm December, and the boys had a great time helping daddy put up the lights. They also loved shopping for Christmas presents. While out and about, they found some decorative duck tape, and spent hours wrapping up old toys and using the tape to secure everything together. Wednesday, December 28, 2011. 1 He i...

Skinned Knees and Crackers Please!: September 2012
http://aaronanddevony.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 20, 2012. Get ready folks, cuz this is nothing short of miraculous. You'll see what I mean. So we bought a short sale home last winter. We've been working on little projects throughout the home (in and out) ever since. Those of you that saw our last yard know that we're sort of outdoor people. We love having a nice yard and enjoying it. But this yard was crap. This was the side of the house where we will have to bring our lawn mower around. Um, what? So we called a few guys back in Ju...

The Monkey and Spike Chronicles. Our unique journey to and through parenthood. Thursday, September 13, 2012. Back to school was a big event in our house this year. Not only did I return to my teaching job, but Monkey started KINDERGARTEN, and Spike started Pre-K preschool. Monkey with his kindergarten teacher. Working hard at his table. Spike and his teacher. Posing for a picture at school. I can understand why its so bittersweet for you. Im glad everyones year is off to a great start, though! Andy and I...

Skinned Knees and Crackers Please!: November 2011
http://aaronanddevony.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 12, 2011. Fun Times at Home. Another mom from Sydney's preschool and I decided that the kids needed more science in the curriculum, so we hold a science "lab" day each week. We have lab coats and little science journals and everything. It's so darn cute and the kids LOVE it. We do science experiments the whole time that day and have so much fun! Here was Mady's. She just LOVES being a "big" kid and doing it too! My girls LOVED this! They look pretty terrifying right? Our latest science...

Skinned Knees and Crackers Please!
http://aaronanddevony.blogspot.com/2012/09/so-back-on-august-14-2012-sydney.html
Saturday, September 15, 2012. So back on August 14, 2012, Sydney started preschool! There's my girl with a big smile! Then on the 31st we went to the temple to have a picnic with some friends. It was wonderful being on the temple grounds and we've made a goal to do it more often. The last time my kids were at the Denver Temple was almost a year and a half ago and they STILL talk about it. Clearly, it was past time to go back. Best photo of Mady in the bunch. Seriously. Brought to you by Devony. A sister ...

Skinned Knees and Crackers Please!: February 2011
http://aaronanddevony.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 28, 2011. She was pleased as punch when she found this little number. And let me just say, that paired with the red heart covered leggings and white socks pulled up to her knees that she chose, she looked very Valentine-y. Can you believe this shirt was mine when I was like 8 years old? And it still fits me? Shocking I know, but it means I'm either really small chested now, or I wore really big shirts as a kid. But hey, that was really in then, remember? Brought to you by Devony. Know ho...

Skinned Knees and Crackers Please!: April 2011
http://aaronanddevony.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Friday, April 29, 2011. A week later that was not very exciting or worth earning anymore. We've been doing this for months. We try to convince her that she's a big kid and EVERY OTHER KID HER AGE (ok not all but most of them) are potty trained. Her response? Why do you want to wear diapers like a little baby we ask? Twice in the last couple of days she has wet her diaper and informed me, "It's wet, cuz I'm a baby, but that's ok.". What do I even say to that? Brought to you by Devony. This video captures ...
