Really, this is probably take 489 for restarting the blog. Our family has had so many amazing days, events, and experiences in the last 8 months (since the last time I blogged :/ ). Our time here in St. Louis is both flying by and dragging on at the speed of an overweight tortoise at the end of a marathon. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today is day 1 of a 30 day challenge I'm committing myself and our family, too. There are multiple facets to this challenge. There are goals I've set for my/our emotional, physical, spiritual, family, nutrition, organizing, financial, and family record keeping (a.k.a. blogging) well being. The theme for this challenge is simply two words:</div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><b><span style="font-size: large;">NO EXCUSES</span></b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />There is no reason we can't accomplish of all our goals. They are <strike>VERY </strike>realistic expectations that each person in this house can do as long as everyone is on board. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm very excited about the next 30 days and pray that we lose track a week in and they are all habits by that point. Because really, what's the point of doing something for just 30 days if it makes you or your life better?</div>

Today, we are thankful for Freedom. So many different kinds of freedom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Religous Freedom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Political Freedom</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sexist Freedom (regardless of what the Dem's might say)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Racial Freedom (also, regardless of what the Dem's might say)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Freedom to sit inside my home with my children and play without concern of a war being fought in my backyard.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Freedom to have all of our Armed Forces filled with those that choose to and are willing to fight to protect all of these freedoms that we love, rather than having those fight that are forced into it, thus leaving their heart out of the fight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Freedom to choose what path is right for our family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are so very lucky to live in the wonderful United States of America and have all of the freedoms and liberties that we do.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I truly hope that every one got out and voted today, whether Republican, Democrat, or somewhere in between.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had the opportunity to take Derek with me. Obviously, he was unaware to what was really going on but it's important that we all show our children the importance of voting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't take Dallace because she was already at school for the day.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When I picked her up I explained that I had gone and voted-which she seemed to think was very exciting until she realized I was saying VOTING, not BOATING. She did really like my sticker, though!</div>

Today, we are thankful for all of the conveniences available to us. The last day or two, Derek has had a stomach bug and at any point day or night we are able to run out and get pedialyte, Gatorade, and diaper rash cream. While it's no fun at all to have a sick little boy I cannot imagine not having these items readily available or even worse, having no where with heat to stay due to a massive storm or simply not having the means to afford these necessities. Our hearts and prayers certainly go out to all of those families in the North East that are still suffering through the effects of Hurricane Sandy. I've been seeing all sorts of wonderful works of kindness from people all over our nation. I've seen ads for people with vacation homes offering to allow families with young children to stay there for free if they can find a way to get down to the homes. People are coming out to help from all the way in California to try to restore power to those who do not even have heat to keep their family comfortable. It breaks my heart to think about trying to explain to a 3 year old why you can't turn the lights on at night or make the home (which is most likely destroyed) just a little warmer. We are so incredibly blessed to have all of the comforts of home within our reach. I pray that our family never experiences anything as devastating as those families are experiencing right now.</div>

<br />
<br />
I really lucked it when I found this guy. <br />
<br />
Some of his favorite things include:<br />
Watching football<br />
Watching basketball<br />
Watching baseball<br />
NOT watching soccer<br />
Playing with the kiddos<br />
Taking me out on super fun and creative dates<br />
Relaxing on the couch<br />
Laughing <br />
Taco Bell<br />
Cuddling<br />
Watching ANYmovie that has Chris Farley in it.<br />
<br />
The best part about this list is that I, too, love all of these things ( minus 1).<br />
<br />
Luke is such an amazing husband and father. He knows what needs to get done to take care of our family both now and in the future and although it seems like an uphill climb at this stage he is impressing me every day with his determination and ability to put his head down and get up that mountain. I'm so very thankful that I met him and feel so incredibly blessed that he chose me to spend eternity with!<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZm79drUXJJ7AA1s7o1dyqHKPv-5hGC6IQ6c241wReamUtAL0tNstfFNdj4IkCwa2xfmfrLqoW6KKh8pdXKtfUw2NquEnCCI4QSrjtE_PTi-quXVJ7-7vJ8Z8bzsKJOr8BhJ1mfZZfDzRD/s640/blogger-image--2083644801.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZm79drUXJJ7AA1s7o1dyqHKPv-5hGC6IQ6c241wReamUtAL0tNstfFNdj4IkCwa2xfmfrLqoW6KKh8pdXKtfUw2NquEnCCI4QSrjtE_PTi-quXVJ7-7vJ8Z8bzsKJOr8BhJ1mfZZfDzRD/s640/blogger-image--2083644801.jpg" /></a></div>Luke & Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02064844783026466109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517110624164251684.post-5475382322196120522012-11-02T10:18:00.001-07:002012-11-02T10:18:59.418-07:00Derek<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, we are thankful for this little man. Derek is now 16 months old going on about 7 years. He thinks he is bigger than his britches and without fail nearly gives me a heart attack each and every day. He's fearless when it comes to climbing and jumping. He absolutely adores Dallace, Daddy, and Mommy (in that order). He's too handsome and so sweet when he wants to be.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of Derek's favorite things:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
playing Monster with Dallace (he's got pretty strong ROAR)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
climbing on anything and everything</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
playing at the park</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
eating peaches & grapes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
wrestling with dad</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
playing catch</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
giving Mommy kisses</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
his must-have giraffe toy at nap/bed time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Avoiding car rides</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dancing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Running away with something he should not have in hand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He was the cutest little shark for Halloween this year </div>

I can not believe how fast he has gone from baby to toddler. He is such a blessing in our lives and I don't know what we did before him. I can't wait to see the man he grows up to be!</div>

How in the world is it already November?? 2012 has absolutely been flying by! Our little family has had such a busy and wonderful year, and we have so much to be thankful for.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today, though, I am thankful for our sweet little angel, Dallace.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Dallace has got so much personality packed into her pint-size little body. She's funny, compassionate, helpful (most of the time), and so quick to forgive a certain little brother that doesn't know how to ask first for anything, yet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Some of her FAVORITE things include:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going to Target with Mommy (has to be mommy only. NO Derek or Daddy)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Helping make cookies</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Riding her bike</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Having her nails painted and painting Mommy's nails</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Playing dress up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coloring</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going to school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going to the gym</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going to the park</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going pretty much anywhere</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Telling anyone and everyone that her birthday is June twenty-fird (June 23rd) and that she will be 4</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
She is my little buddy and will go do anything as long as it's with me. It breaks my heart to think that there will be a time in the not so distant future when she might to care to hang out with me as much. </div>

She's doing wonderfully at school. Her teacher tells me that she's so friendly and not at all shy around the other kids. They also tell me she becomes extremely concerned if someone else is out sick or gets hurt and tries to figure out what to do to help them. I hope that she never loses this trait.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can not believe she's growing up so fast. She grows so much everyday and is learning how to be a little lady and now I just have to make sure that my example is the best for her. Fingers crossed! </div>

Derek isn't the only kiddo in this house with post-worthy hair! After bath time the other night, Dallace informed me she would like me to blow dry her hair like mommy's. Without hesitation, I seized the opportunity and one-upped her by flat ironing it (after generously applying some heat protectant, of course!). I love her sweet curly hair, but she does look awfully cute (and much older) with the straight hair. She examined her new hairstyle in the mirror, running her fingers through her hair for a few seconds while saying, "ohhh, pretty!"<br />

<br />
<br />
Derek, recently, had his hair cut for the first time. I went in expecting the worst. A little backstory for you:<br />
<br />
My little brother is 13 years younger than me. This large age gap has allowed me several opportunities and experiences of young children and majorly traumatic events in their life. Connor's first haircut was definitely a day to remember. There was lots of screaming and crying-both from Connor and my mother.<br />
<br />
So, with this event in my mind I took Derek in to the Hairy Elephant, a local kids only salon and decided to go ahead and admit defeat before we even began allowing for no disappointment. When we arrived we sat in the waiting area, which was filled with nearly every toy you can imagine, and watched as two brothers sat there screaming while their haircuts were completed. This only encouraged my emotional distancing from the upcoming situation. The boys ahead of us finished up and Derek and I walked back to the awesomely red racecar chair he would sit in. Tosha, the stylist fastened the smock around his neck and it was time to begin. A few light spritz' of cool water to prep the hair for trimming and we were off.<br />

DONE!<span id="goog_817492973"></span><span id="goog_817492974"></span></div>Luke & Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02064844783026466109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517110624164251684.post-79212293956999479232012-06-05T12:10:00.000-07:002012-06-05T12:10:27.920-07:00Tri 1As I mentioned in the previous post, Luke is in the first trimester of ten in the D.C. program at Logan. Everyone we've encountered in the 8 months prior to him starting told us the same thing. They told us to prepare ourselves, it is a full time job, and we will NEVER see him again.<br />
<br />
Well, maybe that last part was a bit dramatic, we do see him but it's just an hour or two here and there. Then, on the weekends, when we would be able to spend the most amount of time together, I'm off to work. So, this has been quite the adjustment. Now, we've lived through a time with a very similar schedule to this, before. When he worked out at the area, he would be up around 5:00 a.m, and arrive home a bit after 6:00 p.m. or sometimes as late as 1:00 a.m. There was a lot of texting, calling, and picture messages to stay connected. Now, we are getting back into the swing of that schedule, and learning to make the most out of a quick 10 minute drop by visit or lunchtime. Luckily, we live about 3 minutes away from Logan, making the quick hello super convenient.<br />
<br />
After doing ALL of his undergrad online, due to working 60+ hours a week, this "real school" thing is both awesome and awesomely difficult. As anyone who's taken an online course can tell you-they can be so easy. Most of them, anyways. Now, Luke is back in a "real classroom." He says to some degree it makes it easier, actually having a teacher there to bounce questions off of or request feedback. And to some extent it's much more difficult. Either way, I couldn't be more proud of him. He set his mind on what he wanted to do and he worked harder than anyone else I've ever seen to get our family here. It makes me feel such an intense sense of pride to know that he is the example Derek will see growing up of how to work. He's such an amazing person, husband, and father. It's also been reassured to me, here, that he is my best friend in the world. No one can make me laugh the way he does! I definitely miss my favorite ladies up in Washington and I would do anything to convince their husbands to change their career paths and decide to become chiropractors and go to Logan..immeidately. However, no matter how compelling my arguments were, they said they would just hold my place in our little circle until we return one day. I guess I can settle for that. We are already a month into Tri 1 and I have a feeling the rest is going to fly by!Luke & Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02064844783026466109noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517110624164251684.post-46580938562481538252012-05-29T13:44:00.000-07:002012-05-29T13:44:16.205-07:00Just Sad.To clarify, it is not I that am sad it is this "blog." I have a hard time calling it a blog, if anything it's acted more like electronic post it notes that will forever be stuck to the internet. Very few details of events between here and there. Nothing consistent or really meaningful. So, here I am once again attempting to jump start my "blog." We'll see how it goes this time around. I would also love to guarantee tons of posts of updates, pictures & growth stat's- however to be realistic let's just do a quick round of catch up.<br />
<br />
Luke: Luke is busy in Tri 1 of school. For those of you unaware of how his program goes-there are 10 trimesters and anyone who goes to Logan or husband goes to Logan will undoubtedly begin their introduction to you with asking you what Tri he's in. It's definitely bittersweet to FINALLY be here and IN the D.C. program. The first 8 months we were here consisted of undergrad classes Luke needed to finish up. He's gone most days from about 5:30 or 6 until about 6:00 at night (unless, I have to work then he comes home at the appropriate time). It's definitely going to be a long strenuous road ahead, however, time's already flying by here in Missouri (still weird, by the way!) and we've been through way busier/more hours in the workday than this before, so I'm sure we can manage.<br />
<br />
Brittney: I'm being the mom. Which thanks to an awesome new book my mother in law sent me I realize is always being done the right way if it's what works for MY family. I've always struggled with comparing myself to what the what I lately refer to as the "Pinterest Worthy Mom". Just because I don't have my spice cabinet labeled with with vinyl lettering which I did while my kids simultaneously took 4 hour naps after eating a perfectly well rounded meal which most likely was shaped and garnished to look like something awesome like a dinosaur, doesn't make me any less of a mom. I am working at the Cheesecake Factory, which I LOVE! It works great around Luke's schedule and the extra cash on a student budget is definitely a welcomed extra. I had two super fun visitors this month: 1. My high school friend, Miss Ashley Stasiak! She came up for about 5 days and it was great getting reminisce and laugh like I was 17, again. Then, this last week my mom got to come up after we found super cheap tickets the day before she arrived. Hooray Southwest!<br />
<br />
Dallace: This little girl is hilarious. She has her first joke, which she came up with herself.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Knock. Knock.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who's there?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's me!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
hahahahahaah</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
She loved her time with Nana for sure! I can't believe she'll be 3 in just a few short weeks. She did have all of her alphabet down and in order but all of the sudden she ends it with:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
....w x y and 8, 9, 10.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, we are retouching that area of study this week. However, she can recognize all the letters and trace all of them, and write most of them by herself. So, I think she may just be being silly. Her favorite places to go are Target, the Mall/Mommy's work, and the "blue park" which is just over by the mall. Sometime this week we will be hitting up one of the several aquatic centers around the area. They are like mini water parks that are super cheap and convenient.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Derek: My little man. He will be one year old in just a few weeks. How did that happen?! He started walking at 10 months and didn't slow down from there. He tries so hard to run to chase after Dallace or anyone walking out of the front door. He is such a little beggar when it comes to food it doesn't matter if you're eating zucchini salad or pizza-he wants a bite. He could swing all day if you'd let him at the park and loves to go for walks in the stroller with big sister pushing him. I don't foresee him enjoying this too terribly much longer so we're trying to take advantage while we can. He has 6 teeth and has had three ear infections in the last 3 months. I am pretty sure tubes are in our near future. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, that's how everyone here in Missouri is doing. I will be making a genuine effort to keep this beast updated. With pictures in following posts (seeing as my camera is in the diaper bag in the car and that is terribly far away when it's as hot as it is outside).</div>Luke & Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02064844783026466109noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517110624164251684.post-73077950354646990532012-01-12T13:56:00.001-08:002012-01-12T13:56:52.969-08:00Luke & Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02064844783026466109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517110624164251684.post-17101896965941274792011-12-07T18:18:00.001-08:002011-12-08T04:18:34.315-08:00Celebration of Lights<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Luke saw a commercial for the Celebration of Lights out in O'Fallon which is about 20 minutes from where we live in Chesterfield. As soon as he saw the commercial he said we're going! It was a little too late to go yesterday, so tonight we loaded up and headed out to O'Fallon. It was so much fun. There were mind-blowing amounts of lights. It took about 15 minutes to drive through the park that had been decked out with Christmas decorations & lights of all kinds and colors. Thankfully there were minimal blue lights. For those of you that don't really know, I have an extreme aversion to blue Christmas lights. But that's a whole other story. Dallace loved it and Derek talked and cooed the entire time. We will definitely be making this a Missouri Christmas tradition!</div>

So, while at my favorite place on earth (Target) I picked up the gingerbread house kit and came so excited! After dinner and before bath time-obviously-we began the assembly process. Now remember while looking through these that Dallace is still in this, what will soon be considered the, epic swimsuit phase.<br />

Time sure is flying by. This kid is already a third of a year old! He's huge for his age and wants nothing more than to laugh at his sister all day long. He is so sweet to cuddle and nuzzle with and I hate that he's getting so big so fast he just needs to slow down!!!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the really great things about St. Louis is everything is
either free or really cheap. Grant's Farm was Ulysses S. Grant's home
that was later bought by Anheusier Busch and the Busch family </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
mansion
was built on the property and then later turned into a tourist
attraction. It's free to get in and you just pay a little for parking.
We had a really fun time and will definitely be making our way back
there when the cold Winter months are over. Dallace loved all the
animals and the tram that took you around to see all of them and get to
main attraction area.</div>

Luckily on the way
there we had the entire row of seats to ourselves and Derek slept pretty
much the entire way there. On the way home we had to share the row but
the woman, named Lindsey, was beyond helpful! </a></td></tr>

We also got to spend some time with a few of my friends. Here's some pics of my friend Jesey and her two kids. Our girls are a week apart and the boys are about 3 months apart. Needless to say playdates will forever be made when we come down to visit! Sadly, I somehow missed pictures of Ashley when we got to see her..not sure how that happened but it is unacceptable and will have to take tons of pictures when she comes up to visit this spring :)<br />

So, yet another trip to Florida with oh, so many memories. We love everyone down there so much and can't wait to see them again, sometime soon!Luke & Brittneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02064844783026466109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6517110624164251684.post-35020353133807353072011-12-01T19:51:00.001-08:002011-12-03T16:39:32.411-08:00Getting Settled.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: black; text-align: center;">
Getting settled in Chesterfield has been, dare I say...easy. We've moved into such a wonderfully welcoming ward, have met several other "Logan" families, and I think the main reason it's been so easy is these kiddos. They keep everything consistent. I don't think I was expecting some sort of chaotic time period while we're adjusted to the day to day, but I expected some things to change, but Dallace and Derek can make any place feel like home. And just for future picture reference. Dallace is refusing to take off the swimsuits. They are "so pretty" and she loves to spin around in them, and I am picking my battles. And the swimsuit is cute and definitely not worth a silly argument with a two year old when we are at home.</div>

<br />This last week we had the amazing experience of Elmo LIVE! We purchased the tickets a few months ago as a birthday present for Dallace. The tickets were "VIP" status so they along with 2nd row seating we also got a photo opp with two characters. Luckily, one was Elmo and the other was another family favorite-Cookie Monster. Dallace made it through the photo opp, the hour inbetween that and the actual show, and then about an hour or so in before she was getting cranky and ready for bed (seeing as the show STARTED at her normal bedtime.). It was a wonderful show and while she WAS happy it was a lot of fun and we'll definitely try something like that, again!
