Bisbee!

Grrrr I have been anxiously awaiting to post about our Memorial Day weekend… FINALLY!


Matt plays for an independent league that travels back and forth from Bisbee and Tucson, so this last Memorial Day was the Bisbee trip and we decided with the Monday holiday we would take advantage of the cooler weather. We asked Mom and Dad to join us for the trip and we excitedly and surprisingly had our Tia Anna and Don (Dad’s sister) join us for the trip too. I first should add that my Dad was born and raised in Bisbee so the trip for me is always fun as I get to see where Dad’s mentality of morals with the “small town, big dreams” attitude mixed in with hard working people that need no reminder of how to be humble as they live the story book life of traveling to school and back up-hill…both ways.

Matt found a great place called the Clawson House, that if you are from Bisbee you know this place to be “the big house on top of high school hill”. To Matt and I… a place that fit the 3 families! I can’t tell you in detail what we experienced when we arrived to the most historic, old (but up kept), beautiful, vintage 3 bedroom, split kitchen, wrap-around porch, artful, inviting home. I had soooo much fun taking pictures of what was inside of the house as most of the house still had its original foundation. The whole weekend I felt as though I was in a 1950’s baseball movie, the ones that start with a person reading a book on their porch and wave to the neighbors as they go by, then they take a sip of their coffee and enjoy the simple life and the worry free life as the world to them is tuned out, where the mom calls from her kitchen window to her children who are playing at the neighborhood park, and at 6:00 on the dot everyday yells out that dinner is ready. That was me all weekend, the only thing I worried about was making sure the kids didn’t break anything, and that Micah didn’t fall off one of the thousands of hills Bisbee in known for. We had such a great weekend with the family, and an even better time on Sunday night as we managed to go through enough wine to fill a mini fridge. Matt’s team did ok, unfortunately he ended up breaking his finger :/

Here are just a FEW pictures I took of the house and Bisbee, I am not doing it justice!

***Some of the pictures have a vintage look to them as I filtered them through an iPhone app, yes there’s and app for that!***




ALL the doors had this knob and lock!

This was the "knocker" at the front door


We had a FUN night

Hello & Goodbye to Sum•mer

sum·mer 1 ˈsəmər/ noun 1 .  the warmest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from June to August and in the southern hemisphere from December to February. I just wanted to give myself a second to really think about this thing called summer. Anyone else think this definition is just a little bit vague? It's that time of year where we get all excited to have ZERO schedule, endless electronics, the chance to travel and cram in all of the fun you planned for all year long. Then when this so called "summer" ends, you feel bamboozled, like someone just waved that 4th of July pie you went to that party to specifically eat, right in front of your face only to look...not eat. Like seriously, it was here, right in front of my face, and now... it's gone. Now, now we pack lunch every night, we get our homework in (which I don't even understand), we figure out which parent is going to be the taxi for the day, we actually have to ...

She Turned 7!

SEVEN, she did it again... who does she think she is trying to get another year older on us. In all seriousness, she is SEVEN. Like, what happened to 5 and 6? Let me tell you what 7 looks like on my little Pripri... Just a few things about this girl 1. Guess who her favorite person is...duh. Micah 2. She is soooo much more compassionate and caring than I could have ever imagined. 3. She might be 7, however her attitude screams teen! She is sensitive but oh so brave and she is never afraid to take on new adventures! 4. Her best friend is still, you guessed it, Maggie. 5. Right now she is playing softball (second season) and is having a ton of fun. Cheerleading is still on her brain, but for now, we will stick with this. 6. When she laughs, you can't help but laugh with her. Her laugh alone will make you light up. 7. Her favorite things include: Unicorns, Bear (her pink one), Unicorns, Mermaids, those fake glasses (see pic below), her American Girl Doll (pic above), Uni...

The Big Apple

{deep breath}… We did it, we made it, and we are still alive to talk about it… We made it to and from New York City with our sanity in hand! Actually we got back on the 11th of October but it has taken me a few weeks to recover from the trip, I needed a little space between me and NYC, and now that I am feeling whole again I am ready to revisit our trip. When Matt and I were invited to my college teammates wedding in NYC there was NO WAY I was missing it. For one, she’s amazing and I was soooo pumped for her, and 2… it’s NYC! My only discrepancy was to take the kids or to leave them. Well when we asked my parents if they would be willing to take them while we were away, it turned into “sure we will watch them… in NYC!” So there it was the making of a weeklong family trip to the big apple. For those of you who know how type “A” I am, I am sure you could imagine how overwhelmed I became in thinking of all the things we were going to do while we visited, so when mom and dad said we...
