Our Blog | Matt and Brooke
https://mattandbrooke.wordpress.com/our-blog
September 5, 2012 · 1:24 am. Since we started this blog one thing has become blatantly obvious. I’m a terrible blogger. There have been many, many changes since our last post. So I apologize in advance if this turns out to be a long post. Once signed on with ATWA we received our first referral within days! Brooke and I were both at work and were patiently awaiting the referral. Brooke sent me a text that said, I have pictures! May 2, 2012 · 3:28 am. December 12, 2011 · 7:27 pm. Home Study Thus Far.

Why Adoption | Matt and Brooke
https://mattandbrooke.wordpress.com/why
So we spent the next couple of months researching, pondering, praying and interviewing those who have adopted domestically or who were adopted domestically. After all of this it just didn’t feel right and we came to the conclusion that we weren’t going to find our children through domestic adoption. We still knew we needed to adopt, but we were at a loss as to where to adopt from? Vist Lifeline Adoption services below for more information. Follow Blog via Email. Join 15 other followers.

The Shraders: March 2012
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Sunday, March 11, 2012. This was at The Cheesecake Factory. Preston played with the menus when he wasn't taking food off my plate, and cried when the server took them away. I think this was the night that he refused his baby food for the first time in favor of food from our plates. He doesn't have teeth yet (although the corner of one has broken through! But he can gum food like a champ. This is when I realized my kid was on a sugar high&#...
The Shraders: Lake Time
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2013/07/lake-time.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Tuesday, July 23, 2013. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I am a small-town mom of two boys just 17 1/2 months apart. My days are filled with laughter, tears, diapers, dirt, bugs, trucks, kisses, hugs, and lots of love. Every day is an adventure, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. View my complete profile. The Fourth of July. Nothing rhymes with Tanya. or Hansen. The Life and Times of Mrs. Blimes. Willy Winkey is the actual worst.
The Shraders: July 2013
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Tuesday, July 23, 2013. This year we decided to keep Preston's birthday party a little smaller and only invite family. It worked out really well and he never knew the difference. Balloons, cake and presents and this boy was happy. Can we talk about how fast time flies? Currently he loves: trucks, airplanes, boats, emergency vehicles, tractors. pretty much anything with a motor. His favorite movie: Cars, Cars 2. He is very protective of Max...
The Shraders: January 2012
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Monday, January 30, 2012. The past two months. Yes, yes, I know. I'm a horrible blogger. The holidays flew by, and now I find myself knocking on February's door without a blog post. I'll try to play catch up the best I can. It was our first (and last) Christmas in our apartment. Preston loved all of his presents, but mostly the Christmas tree lights and the wrapping paper. We moved in January! I promise a better post next time, but I'm afr...
The Shraders: June 2012
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Saturday, June 23, 2012. We celebrated Preston's first birthday last week. This year his birthday falls on Father's Day which I thought was very special. Grandma and Gramps Shrader came into town and stayed with us for a few days too. We had so much fun and I actually got to take a nap every day, which was awesome. Some days I would give anything for him to be little again, or to just freeze him in time. But he is so much fun now! We had a...
The Shraders: June Wrap-Up
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2013/07/june-wrap-up.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Thursday, July 4, 2013. June brought sun, fun, growing boys, lake and pool days, snuggles, sprinklers, Preston's birthday and just hanging out at home. I haven't been feeling well lately (I'm sure I'll do a blog post about that subject at some point), so we had to do things that didn't involve much energy on my part. Tricky when you have two little boys bursting at the seams with energy! We rode motorcycles in Costco. We hung out with Mimi.
The Shraders: December 2012
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Monday, December 31, 2012. This might be my favorite picture from the whole night :). Santa visited Preston and brought him a train set, lots of cars, and books. He loved all of his presents! Zach and I got great presents too. some of which were: a Sodastream, new sheets, movies, clothes, gift cards, a blower for the yard (mainly for Zach :) ) and an IPAD! That night I noticed he was getting a little stuffier, but still no fever. The nurse...
The Shraders: Truck Show
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2013/07/truck-show.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Thursday, July 4, 2013. Max did a whole lot of this, poor thing. Why are Zach and I wearing Seminole shirts you might ask? Strange, I know. We got invited to watch a Noles baseball game later that day. It was really fun for the two of us to have a kid-free afternoon. We ate at Mellow Mushroom after and called it a date :) See, we don't mind cheering for the Seminoles (as long as they aren't playing the Gators). View my complete profile.
The Shraders: October 2012
http://theshraders.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Welcome to our (crazy) life. We wouldn't change it for the world! Wednesday, October 24, 2012. There are plenty of pumpkin patches in Tallahassee, but we are loyal to one and only one. We went there the first year we were married since it was close to our apartment and keep coming back because it reminds us of that first Halloween together. Also, the owner is really nice and remembers us. Oh, and we can't forget about the "haunted" maze he builds every year too. Isn't he the best? Preston, 16 months.

the nuts and BOLTS of it all
The nuts and BOLTS of it all. Matt - Brittney - Mary Tyler - Cooper - Annie. Thursday, May 9, 2013. Why am I such a terrible blogger? Oh yeah, I guess bc I have a crazy almost 15 month old, coaching high school cheerleading now that the seasons started back, and have 3 real estate closings in less than a month. I'm not complaining. Life is good. Just wanted to tell a few things that Mary Tyler is doing now. She will show it to you and smile. She will hold the phone up to her ear when I say hello. You tur...

Saturday, November 15, 2014. I have tried to find ideas on pinterest and there are soo many, it kind of gets overwhelming. Pinterest and I have a love hate relationship. I love the ideas but waste so much time on there. I feel like a bad parent at times too because of all the activities parents do with their kids. I can't keep up with these overachieving parents. Haha. Until next time,. Friday, November 7, 2014. We also got some pictures just of Jordy in his blessing outfit. He looks so cute! A lot has h...

Matt, Brook, Paige, Kayla, Aiden, Brock, and Collin. Saturday, April 26, 2014. We had a fun Easter. We colored the eggs on Friday night. They loved it. I boiled almost 3 dozen eggs and it was not enough. They wanted more. My sister-in-law Lisa and her kids came on Friday night to stay. My niece Hannah had a volleyball tournament in Idaho Falls on Saturday, so it was fun to see them. Tuesday, April 8, 2014. Time has just flown by this year so far. March saw another crazy, busy month. The other night when ...

Matt. Brooke. Jayden. Kaysen.
Matt Brooke. Jayden. Kaysen. Sunday, February 28, 2010. Time for an update. Ok Ok, I know it is definately time to update. I just don't really know where to start. Life has been kind of crazy lately, and time just flies by. I'm not really a fan of winter AT ALL. I guess you could say that by this time of year we have. Had ENOUGH of the cold weather and just want to be outside. So, we have been trying to take advantage of the days where it is. Actually warm enough to play outside. Jayden has become quite ...

A Cole Front's Movin' In. Thursday, May 11, 2006. Caleb came home from preschool this week with a very interesting question, "Who was Daddy's first wife? As you might imagine I could only sputter a laugh and reply with a very intelligent "WHHATT? Maybe with my aging ears I did not hear his question correctly. Before Daddy marry you, who did he marry? Did he marry Lauren (my sister) or Andrew's mommy? He said with a bit of frustration. My only question is: What are they teaching in preschool? OK I tell th...

Trying to find something like a ski team for Rowan to join, wrestling for Cam, swimming for Parker, and Jonas is just great at being mischievous and crazy!
