For Spring Break, we took a road trip from our Austin all the way to Austin TX to see Uncle Zach, Aunt Katrina and their two beautiful girls. (We drove because the airfare was out of our budget).

In an earlier post, I wrote about Tanner being diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder. The other part of his diagnosis was Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), aka Sensory Integration Disorder. If you’re reading this blog post, you are most likely a relative or friend and you probably have a child that is my son’s playmate.

Cabo is the place where we Honeymooned! So it was really neat to come back 10.5 years later.… Continue reading Hormel Trip to Mexico

We got to spend New Year’s Eve in California with the Zavoral Clan! First thing we did on New Year’s Eve was get the boys some haircuts (Jeremy and a bunch of siblings went to play sports). You probably can’t tell in this picture, but Tanner is looking in the mirror at Dallin, who is… Continue reading New Year's Eve 2016
