Welcome to the Kurtz Family! I am from south Georgia but married a NOLA boy. He swept me off my feet and moved me to the great state of Louisiana. Together we've created a precious family of two sweet boys.... only 14.5 months apart. We are busy! Brooks is silly, giggly and so much fun! Parker is sweet, cuddly, and so loving. You wouldn't know it by looking at him, but Parker has a rare disease called Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome. We are learning to deal with CVS as a family and keep Parker as healthy as possible!

Brooksie turns FIVE!



How is our big boy five already? These years have passed so quickly. We celebrated his big day with a pirate themed party. This was his first year having more friends at his party than familly. It's been so sweet watching these first preschool friendships grow. Happy Birthday, dear boy!

Houston Matthew Kurtz


But joy comes with the morning. 
Psalm 30:5

After a loss that broke our hearts last summer, we are beyond thankful to welcome our third son, Houston Matthew Kurtz. Houston was a quick and easy delivery on July 14, 2015. He weighed 7 lb 13 oz and 21 inches long. Big brothers Brooks & Parker are so PROUD.

Fall Part I

My favorite season is here.... FALL! The start of the decorating season for me and lots of FUN activities for the boys! We have football, soccer, school, and parties galore! 

Kurtz boys' first day of preschool! Can you believe it??! Best buds are right across the hall from each other. Their teachers say they sit beside each other each day at snack. Couldn't be prouder of these two. 

The GOLDEN DRAGONS! If you ever need a comedy show, watch 3 & 4 year olds play soccer! 

The brothers! It is beyond perfect that eccentric little Parks is #13!

GEAUX Parker! Our baby is THREE! 

Cutest duo I know. 

Check out these excited faces!!! Mike the Tiger showed up! 

What a PRECIOUS smile! Loving that tiger! 

Corn maze at the Rural Life Center. We got LOST. We ended up leaving through the entrance! #fallfail

Brooksie & Mary heading to the LSU game. This was Brooks' first game! 

Sweetest smile ever! 

Maw Maw & Aunt Kourtney took boys to the St. George Fair. Glimpse of our lives in 12 or so years! And yes boys, you'll be sharing a car then too!

Labor Day

For the weekend of Labor Day, we went to the picturesque Dauphin Island near Mobile, Alabama. We went with Amy, Christian, and the girls. This little island is in the middle of nowhere! But oh so pretty. I literally took 200 pictures. Great pick, Amy! I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a closer trip to the beach! 

And that is what Brooks thought of me taking his picture. 

The original Kurtz duo! Missing Jeff, the third Kurtz brother... Who happens to be an excellent doggie sitter. :) Thanks, Jeff! 

Love this silly, crazy guy! 

The triplets... Kurtz boys and their sweet cousin Mary Beth!

How sweet. Eating Popsicles! 

Parker walking through the dunes. Couldn't this be a post card? 

There's that big guy. So proud!

Summer Fun!

I can't believe summer is coming to an end. We still have one short beach trip left but SCHOOL is starting in less than two weeks! We've had such a fun time this summer. Boys took swim lessons, Brooksie turned 4, and we've taken 3 beach trips! 

Beach trip #1... Memorial Day in Gulf Shores, AL with Missy, Jason, and Sierra! Sierra was so good with the boys. They loved her! 

Swim lessons. They worked so hard! 

Brooksie is 4!! The most handsome guy I know! 

Party pics! 

Happy Birthday, dear boy! We love this guy SO much!

Beach trip #2... A week in Destin, FL! For most of the trip it was just me & my boys! They were so good & sweet!

STUDS

Cutie-pies!

Sweet, beautiful, baby Parker! Vacation is exhausting! 

They loved COUSIN time! All boys! 

Ahhh... The life of a Kurtz boy.

These boys were SO happy when their Daddy was able to join us!

Goodbye, beach!

Back home & working on potty training. Lord help me! Did I mention school starts in 1.5 weeks and he must be fully trained? Dear Lord, Please don't let him get kicked out of Catholic school at the age of not quite three. Amen. 

Dancing on a beautiful Louisiana summer night at Perkins Rowe. 

Beach trip #3... A weekend at Aunt Amy's beach house in Pass Christian, MS. 

Cousins are the best! 

Sweet Brooksie.. So proud of his hermit crabs.

Mary designed an obstacle course. Kurtz boy vs Kurtz boy! I'm pretty sure she wasn't impressed with their performance. 

Anna Grace taking care of our silly, wild Parker!
