Halloween 2013
This post has been a long time coming, but I felt it was still blog-worthy. Last Halloween was definitely a bittersweet experience for a few people at our house. But first, the costumes! Lucy – a bee. Isn’t she just the cutest bee you ever saw? Even though the picture is blurry, you get it.…

Luli turns 5
This is the beautiful pumpkin cake Lucy picked for her birthday cake. She is such a sweet little girl. She sees beauty in so many things, even her mother’s unprofessional cake decorating.

Fall 2013

Our newest arrival
It has been over a month since his arrival. And like anything or anyone that comes into our lives, it is hard to imagine what life was like without him. He fills a hole we didn’t know we had until he came. Taivan Joseph Loveland was born at 12:56 p.m. on June 21st. He was…

Spring Break
This year we stayed closer to home and enjoyed some simple, but fun activities. Some people in our ward own some property along the Wood River and there are some pretty fun things to do there. The answer to what the most fun thing to do would depend upon which of the kids you asked.…

What is newish?
I am attempting to get all up to date with this blog and pictures before this new little one comes, you know, one of those things on my list of things “to do” before the baby comes. Here are a few fun pictures that don’t have any specific reason. Pictures just because. This first picture…
