Then something crazy happened... I became a stay-at-home mom. It was hard at first and very time consuming, so much so that it was a struggle for me to even sit down and read my email, let alone try to sit down and write an entire blog post. Then when my little guy turned about eight months, out of nowhere he became super independent and could entertain himself for hours upon hours. Suddenly I had all this free time and no idea what to do with it. So like any other normal .ha. person I started spending any free time I had on my computer, stalking other women's blogs (everyone does that, right?). It's a little embarrassing to say the least, but it's true. I
TheReyneDays Blog will be written mostly by me and centered around those things which I love most: my family, fashion, food, crafts, and much more! The hubs will definitely be writing some posts now and then because, let's be honest, he's a better writer than I am. I hope everyone enjoys reading our blog as much as we will enjoy writing it and I promise to do my best to keep you up-to-date on everything!
About us: The Reyne's
BOSTON
Our beautiful little baby Boston is already ten months old; it's so crazy how fast the time has gone. I can't believe that in two short months we will have a one year old. We sure do love this little man though and truly enjoy watching him grow and learn new things on a daily basis. As of late, he has become quite the imitator. He loves giving kisses (mostly open mouthed kisses), waving "hi" and "bye-bye," screaming like a girl, and playing patty-cake/pick-a-boo. He's beginning to master the skill of crawling. We have the army crawl perfected and it seems to be his preferred means of getting around. Baby B, as we call him, also enjoys making messes, hanging out in the shade outside, dancing, and watching Despicable Me.
KASEY
There are really only six major things you need to know about me, to know exactly who I am. One- I am Mormon/LDS. This is the one major thing that defines me as a person. I live for the gospel of Jesus Christ. I love everything that it has taught me and for the person it has helped me become. It is the greatest blessing anyone could ever receive in this lifetime. To learn more about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, just click here. I promise you will never regret it. Numero Dos- I am a wife (to the world's greatest husband) and a mother (to the world's greatest son). My boys are my everything- as you will see throughout my blog. I couldn't live without them. Everything I do, everything I think, revolves around them. Third- I am a daughter to, LITERALLY, the most amazing and perfect parents, who have taught me everything I know. Not to mention, I married into the most fabulous family and have the most wonderful and loving parental-in-laws ever! Fourth- I am a sister. I can't even describe how much I love my sisters and brother. I love how incredibly close we are and how we can talk about anything and everything. I just wish we could all live closer together and I could see them ALL everyday. I love my family dearly and would be nowhere without them. Fifth- I am a shopaholic. I openly admit that I have the slightest obsession with clothing and fashion, and I'm okay with it. Just to give you an idea of how bad my addiction is... I have to use the guest bedroom closet in our apartment to hang most of my clothes. The hubby and I have a walk-in closet in our master bedroom, but that could only fit my hubby's wardrobe and HALF of my wardrobe. I have accepted that this is in fact an addiction, but as of now I have no desire to seek help. Fourth- I am a Missouri Native. Now, you wouldn't think that this necessarily important to know about me, but it is. Currently, I live in the heart of Utah (Provo/Orem) with my boys and have been here for about six years. But Missouri is and ALWAYS will be my home. Other "not as important" things you should know about me is that I love food and I eat all the time, watching movies is my favorite thing to do, I'm not very creative but I like to pretend that I am, and I think that I have a great sense of humor.
EVAN
First of all- yes I know. I have the most handsome husband in the universe. Not only is this guy good looking, but he is really tall (which is great for me because I'm also pretty tall for a girl). And I don't mean tall as in 6'4 or 6'5, nope this big hunk is 6 feet 8 inches. His height was pretty much what won me over, along with all the other amazing qualities he has! :) Evan was born and raised in Lincoln, California. The thing I love most about his childhood is that even though he was abnormally tall, he grew up as a "skater boy." He didn't even play basketball until his Junior year of high school. The Varsity Basketball Coach actually approached him in the school hallway, pointed out that he was 6'8, and asked Evan why he had not tried out for the team in the past. He tried out that year, made the team, and has loved basketball ever since. He is a huge Sacramento Kings and Miami Heat Lebron James fan, but then again, who isn't? Evan served a two-year mission for our church in Salvador, Brazil. (When we first started dating, I would always make him say romantic things to me in Portuguese...did I mention I am pretty cheesy?). He has been home from his mission for several years and was recently accepted to Utah Valley University in Orem. He will be majoring in Business Management with hopes of one day applying and getting accepted to Law School. He is currently working for an internet marketing company in American Fork called OrangeSoda and loves it. If you know my husband you know what an amazing, caring, loving, and protective person he is. I am so lucky to call him mine and love that I get to be with him for all eternity :)
