The Standlee Family

It's getting busier and busier

2011-11-30T23:44:00.000-08:00

They say that the third child is the one that changes it all becuase there is no longer the same amount of parents are there are kids! Number three was not difficult to me in balancing everything, but number four... It gets busier and busier with work, personal commitments, family commitments, church commitements, and now the Holidays!!! We wouldn't have it any other way! We love our life no matter how crazy it gets! MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Tyler turned 8 on March 26! I can not believe I have a child that old! Tyler became a Boy Scout! This is the first boy in our family, so this is very new and exciting for us!

In January we found out that Standlee baby #4 is going to be... a GIRL!!! YAY! 2 boys and 2 girls... this means that now the girls will be even with the boys in the house!

2011-05-08T20:18:00.000-07:00

Christmas is always a fun time to decorate the tree with Grandma, make cookies with friends and family, and celebrate the true meaning of Christmas!

Summer 2010

2011-05-08T17:35:00.000-07:00

Last summer the Standlee, Schwalger and Poulson girls (all the sisters)took a "girls" trip back to California before school started to do some shopping and take our kids back to our roots in L.A.! Not only did they LOVE it, they want to go back each year!!! We visited all of our favorite restaurants, popular places, and did a lot of sight seeing! We had a the best time!

Tyler and Emma... Growing up too fast!

2009-11-22T22:05:00.001-08:00

I decided to take a few random pictures of the kids the other day. Baby Michael fell asleep, so it ended up just being Tyler and Emma. They actually look like they like each other! :)

So precious and pretty, she is 5 now! Crazy!

Tyler is my big man! He is 6 now.. closing in on 7...

I can't believe how fast 3 months can fly by. Last time I posted on this blog was in the begining of August when the kids went back to school. Since then we have been busy. With two kids in school there are twice the events, twice the homework, and so on and so forth. Brian and I celebrated our 2 year wedding anniversary on November 10th, we celebrated our 1 year anniversary of the adoption and everyone being a Standlee, Halloween came and went, and now we are approaching Thanksgiving and Christmas. So, if I keep on track I will post again in January! :) I am going to post a few pictures of somethings we have done over the past few months. Enjoy!!!

Can you believe that it is already time for school to start back up? Me either!!! Well, it did and it was a lot of fun! I took the day off to take everyone to school on the first day, it's just something I don't get to do very often since I work, so it's very special to me! Here are pictures of the drop off and pick up! I think everyone looks very spiffy!

About "US"

2007-09-12T20:49:00.000-07:00

The "new" Standlee family will be established on November 10th, 2007. We met last year in August of 2006 in a Banking training class at Compass Bank. What started out as friendship grew stronger and on July 31, 2007 at Cafe Rio during Julie's birthday dinner, Brian proposed on bended knee...awwwweee!!! As you will see throughout this blog there are two kids... yes, "we" or "Julie" has two kids from her previous marriage. Tyler is 4 and Emma is 3! Since last year, we both have taken jobs with different banks and we are loving it. Julie moved into our new house on September 8th. It is a gorgeous house and a place where we will make MANY memories as a family. Since life for us as you can imagine is busy, we will do our best to update this so you can get an idea of what is going on in our lives!

Have fun!!!
Julie, Brian, Tyler and Emma (soon to be Standlee)
