The Stoker Family: May 2013
http://brandon-stoker-family.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 30, 2013. For Memorial Day we headed up to Washington for a family reunion. It was a family reunion with all my mom's siblings and some of her cousins so there were some people there that I didn't really know very well. It was fun to meet some of my second cousins and to spend time with my Aunts and Uncles that I haven't seen in a long time. It was kind of loud when it was taking off, and as you can see Josh does not like loud noises. Melissa and Mike holding Elliot and Mason. There is some...

The Larsens: Um, hello giraffes!
http://satrickah.blogspot.com/2012/08/um-hello-giraffes.html
Tuesday, August 14, 2012. Um, hello giraffes! So we touch down in Nairobi, pass through customs, drive across town and show up to Giraffe Manor with average expectations. I mean, sure, the website photos were great - but how realistic can it really be? Um Yeah. This realistic. Oh, not enough for you? Ok, how about this one. I have lost my mind and kissed a Giraffe! There were warthogs all over the property. Literally the funniest animal I have ever seen. I can't get "Hakuna Matata" out of my head. Balgud...

The Larsens: January 2011
http://satrickah.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 19, 2011. I've been bugging Patrick for a few weeks about taking me on a date. Like a real "pick you up at 6, wear something cute" type date. I'm tired of being in charge of planning EVERYTHING. (Minus picking where we eat, he always gets to pick where we eat). I mean, I know I've got it good and I'm lucky that we even have time to hang out regardless of who's planning, but does anyone else feel like this has happened to them? Take me to mini-golf OR ELSE! Wednesday, January 19, 2011.

The Larsens: November 2011
http://satrickah.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 22, 2011. Best Meal. Ever. I'm coming out of overwhelmed-with-life-induced hiding to share the following recipes. You're welcome. Want to knock your lover's socks off? Also, want to die from a saturated fat induced coma? This steak recipe is seriously the BEST. I have made it with clearance Rib-eyes and NY Strips and those $5 steaks taste better than some I've spent $30 on in a restaurant! Anyways, enough of that. Here are the recipes (just copied and pasted from the website)! For a pan...

If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently, it becomes special because you have made it so. Wednesday, August 22, 2012. Well life is been crazy!

I can't believe he's 3. and when I say that, I mean, I feel like he was 2 FOREVER! Owen is so fun. He will make you laugh half the time, and make you go crazy the rest! He must get that from me).

If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently, it becomes special because you have made it so. Sunday, July 14, 2013. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY LITTLE BIG BOY! I love you so much. Don't get me wrong. you know exactly how to pull my strings, but you are the sweetest little boy when you want to be! You have suddenly become very attached to me. Anytime you go to primary, or go play at the gym. it usually ends with tears and around 15 "I love you, goodbyes." I can't believe you are 4! Wrestling, ca...

The Larsens: June 2012
http://satrickah.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 22, 2012. Campi Ya Kanzi - test, no photos. Our first bush camp was an Eco-lodge on 400 square miles of private Maasai land in southern Kenya (right at the border of Tanzania, about 26 miles from Mt. Kilimanjaro, so we were able to get some amazing views of the snow-topped peaks! It's at the base of the Chyulu Hills ("spotted hills" in Maasai) which are the youngest volcanic hills in the world. It was so lush and green - ferns and moss everywhere. Apparently these are some of the last re...

The Stoker Family: April 2014
http://brandon-stoker-family.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Thursday, April 10, 2014. Anyway, I have to host 2 times and I did my first time this last week. The kids did great. Josh was super excited to be part of the big kid group and I hardly saw Annabelle she was so busy entertaining all the kids. All the kids eating lunch picnic style. Funny story about Isaac. And I will admit the kids were pretty much hilarious to listen to. They play this game where one kids says, "Hey, why is everyone looking at (fill in the blank with a kids name)". The Little Family :0].

The Stoker Family: February 2013
http://brandon-stoker-family.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Tuesday, February 12, 2013. Decorating the Christmas Tree. I love Christmas time so much. There are just so many fun things to do as a family. It is so great to be able to share traditions with my children and watch them get excited about the same things that I used to get excited about. Annabelle carefully places each ornament. The crowning moment. Placing the star on the tree. I want to help too! And the best part? Every time they saw the tree, they maintained the same sense of delight and wonder.
