How it all began

Ralph and I have been together since the summer of 2008 but it all began in 1992. Ralph's sister, Colleen and I have been best friends since 6th grade and we grew up at each other's houses throughout the years. Ralph was always around but being the younger brother was forbidden to be around us (not that he wanted to make up dances with us). We said hi during high school and when I needed a jersey to wear to school on Fridays, Ralph was nice enough to let me wear his. He visited Kent State while I was there once to look at the football team and campus but decided against attending. He joined the Marine Corps and we spoke through emails every now and then just to see how the other was doing. Life went on and our paths finally crossed again in 2008 when Colleen invited me to their families yearly 4th of July party. Ralph was home on leave from Iraq and I just moved back to Cincinnati. This time when we saw each other things seemed a little different and the rest is history. In December 2011 we were engaged, July 2012 we were married, April 2013 we bought our first house and March 2014 we had our first child, Braxten! Each year has been more blessed than the last and we are so excited to see where our future takes us!

Olympics are coming!!!!!!

Gymnastics had Olympic week and B loved holding the torch!


 Meanwhile at home Kane is becoming more and more independent and just wants to do it all on her own. We went for a walk today and she could not have been any happier as she let go of my hand and walked with freedom. That skirt is pretty cute too!


 Opening ceremonies are today! Braxten and Kane are ready to yell Go USA in our red, white and blue!



 So biased we know - but how stinking cute are these two monsters! Love you both with all everything we have!

 AHHHHHHHH Go USA! hahaha

Good sportsman life conduct

B was chosen to carry the flag and Kane wanted to walk the parade in that adorable leotard!

 Cousin Ry Ry came in town and we had so much fun hanging out with him - he is so patient and kind, we are so thankful to have our kids look up to him! We love you Ry!
