Raising A Boy

Plenty of my friends are moms to all boys, my sister included. I have 1 boy and 2 girls and thus have the unique perspective that raising different genders is.... well, different. There is much to be said for that famous phrase "boys will be boys". Here are a few of my old iPhone photo "boy moments".


They like to experiment.


They think little sisters are bugs for catching.


They like to climb and flip and roll and have no regard for consequences like hard cabinets.


They learn differently.


They are good at finding alternate uses for sisters' belongings.


They are clowns.


They learn how to be cool at a young age.


They see things differently.


They idolize their daddy's.


Bad hair days don't bother them.


They like to be pampered.


Competitive by nature and never to young to take pride in ones accomplishments!

And just to be fair of course, a post will follow about raising a princess.

Old iPhone Memories

Here are a couple pictures from when we first moved here. Dayton was a few months shy of 2 and Saige was 10 weeks old. Hard to believe Dayton will be starting 1st grade in August and Saige will be turning 4 this summer!!

Keeping Up With The Times

I decided that it might be worthwhile to learn the ins and outs of blogging from my iPhone. You see, I have thousands of photos on my iPhone and no way to document them. I mean, what is the point of having all these pictures stored on my phone if I never use them? My blog is meant to document our lives so that one day the children will be able to have a book of memories from their childhood. Call it a modern day baby book of sorts. While my photos usually make it to Facebook for people to look at and comment on, that doesn't do my children any good. Besides, I have tons of photos on my phone that predate my Facebook account activation. I often sift through them when I need a good laugh. Since my phone is always with me, I am more frequently able to document those moments that the children one day will hate me for. Stay tuned....I'm going on a hunt.
