Happy Father’s Day 2015!

There are some great fathers in mine and my boys lives and I want to take a minute to give a shout out to them and honor them on this special day that is all about them, but let’s be honest these guys are worth celebrating everyday!

Happy Father's Day to my incredible Dad! Thanks for being such a wonderful dad and granddad. You are so good with children and watching you with my young babies absolutely melts my heart because of the love and excitement you have for them. Thanks for always supporting me and my family no matter what. Your love and encouragement have meant the world to us. Thanks for all you do and are! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Love,
Ben, Danae, Jayden, Tristan and Caleb

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Father-in-law! Thanks for all you do and are! You are such an amazing example of a hard worker and a disciple of Christ. Thanks for being such a great influence in mine and my children's lives. You raised an incredible son and for that I will be eternally grateful to you. Thanks so much for all of your love and support! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Love,
Ben, Danae, Jayden, Tristan, and Caleb

Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Grandfather! Thanks for always being my number one fan and supporting me and my dreams. You are such an amazing example to me of love and compassion. Every time I find myself enjoying nature, I think of you and your passion for it. Thanks for teaching me to enjoy the little things in life like chocolate and long walks along the river. Thanks so much for all you do and are for me and my boys! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Love,
Ben, Danae, Jayden, Tristan, and Caleb

Happy Father's Day to my amazing Brother! You are such a great father to your sweet little Jocie. I admire how hard you work and how much you sacrifice for your family. They are so lucky to have you in their life as am I and my family. Thanks for being awesome! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Happy 7 Years to Us!!!

I can’t believe it has already been 7 years! Here we are 7 years, 2 states, 13 moves, 2 kids, and a dog later. What a beautiful life we have created together over the years! Can’t wait to see what the years and the eternity ahead hold in store for us! I LOVE YOU BENJAMIN LUKE OSTLER!!!!!

Happy 7 years Danae!! I love you so much. Thank you for the best 7 years of my life and thank you for two amazing boys. Thank you for taking on so much here at home. I don't know how you do it. I don't understand these people who bash stay at home moms for having it easy when it isn't easy at all. I love you with all my heart Danae! I am excited for the next years to come!! Xoxo-Ben  Thanks sweetie! Happy 7 years! I think we even beat "the itch"! wink emoticon I love you so much too!!! Thanks for all you do too and without a single complaint! I don't know how you do it and still help out so much around the house and with the boys. Thanks for loving, appreciating me, and making me feel so special. I am SO lucky to have you as my husband and as the father to our children. The past 7 years have been amazing with you despite all the ups and downs we have faced together. I am excited to see where life takes us and can't wait to get out and celebrate with you tonight! Love you babe!!! Xoxoxo!!!!!-Danae

Tristan’s Newborn Pictures!

Oh my heart be still! My babies are so precious to me! My good friend Heidi did it again and caught all of Tristan’s sweetness so perfectly! I am absolutely in LOVE with how these pictures turned out! He did pretty well with pictures so long as he was bundled. He did not like not being covered up. We managed to get a few where he was not screaming without being super bundled, but that was about it before I was snuggling and bundling and consoling him so we could get more cute, content and happy pictures. So fun how much personality these sweet spirits come with so young. Tristan is definitely a bit more like dynamic and dramatic me and a bit less like his easy-going and go with the flow Daddy and older brother, but he is definitely just as loveable! Needless to say we are all pretty smitten with our cute, new, little addition. :)
