Yeah Daddy!

On May 13th Jeremy received his masters degree from University of Colorado at Denver. Nobody could be prouder of Jeremy than me (Rachel) and his two boys for perserving through his grad degree. Having to do homework when your little boy is asking to go to the park, or Da-Da (McDonalds) isn't easy (although Jeremy always found time to take Aidan on Saturday morning so I could get some rest.) We learned (the hard way) that going to school while starting our family isn't the ideal way to do things but as the Scholten Proverb says, "Life is never ideal". Isn't that the truth?? So, now we are going to take a breather (for at least the summer!) and then see what is next. For now we are enjoying the sweet feeling of success. Yeah Daddy!

Oh no, Mama's Hair All Dirty!

So after 28 (almost 29) years of being a blonde (besides a couple crazy other colors throughout the years) I decided it was time for a change. "More sophisticated" :) or so I'm told. Hopefully the reaction will be better than Aidan's of "oh no, Mama's hair all dirty!"

A.D. Has Trailer


So, we all know Aidan loves anything with wheels or a propeller. Lately he has gotten into the notion of having a trailer or wagon. Whether he is playing with his tractors or with his Little People Camper set, he is fascinated with the trailer.

It only makes sense then, that his "car" should have a trailer. I was a bit dissapointed that I bought his sled at the end of winter, but it isn't going to waste. Also notice his "bike" on the "trailer". The trailer was his idea, we just helped him make it work.
