I thought I'd take a bit of time to jot down some of the things we've come to LOVE over the past, almost six years, being parents. These are things we would absolutely recommend to our friends and family and they make GREAT gifts for those expecting kids. They grow fast so you don't have to buy baby stuff!!!
Strider Bikes!!
They are awesome and we have 3 of them for our boys. They started riding them at 2 1/2 years old and Cole went straight from this to a bike without training wheels. They learn balance and stearing without the headache of falling. Then when they are ready, they go to a big bike! We LOVE them.
Moby Wrap!!
We, yes even my husband, LOVE the Moby Wrap. You can also find one on etsy.com by searching Moby Wrap. Although the ones on esty.com are not brand name they are JUST AS GOOD if not better because you are supporting organic business!
Lamplighter Publishing Books
This is linked to just one of their amazing 400 book selection. They also offer audio CD's for you and the kids to listen to in the car. We LOVE them.
Blurb.com
I've tried every single photobook, scrapbook creating software out there I think. But this one takes the cake. Their prices are good, you can make them available for others to purchase, and you can add contributors if you desire to make a collaborative book. I LOVE blurb.com.
Greatest Heroes and Legends of the Bible
We don't have them all yet, but they are definitely on our Wish list. Our kids enjoy them and they teach the story without all the fluff you find in other bible story movies. A Great collection to own.
Radio Flyer Wagon with Trailer
We bought this four years ago when we took a trip to San Diego Sea World. We've never regretted it! We take it almost every where and the kids are usually arguing over who rides in the wagon. They LOVE it and so do we!
Kelty Kid Pack
These are awesome and we LOVE ours!! It can store lots of stuff while carrying around your little guy/gal. It is comfortable for them and easier on the shoulders than the typical kids pack. My husband prefers this carrier over all others, once the kids are walking.
We would recommend the sun hood as well. It is a nice addition especially in Arizona.
Carbonite Online Backup System
Carbonite is an online backup system for your computer so when the Crash comes you don't lose everything you have. I'm so very thankful for Carbonite!
Britax Car Seats
Both infant and toddler/convertible Car Seats
We LOVE our car seats for the twins and the babies. They are secure, safe and quality made!
Graco Nautilus 3-in-1 Car Seat, Matrix
We LOVE this car seat for our 5 year old but it would be awesome for any toddler as well. Very comfortable and easy to get in and out of. A REAL WINNER!
Pottery Barn Kids Chair
We love this chair. We got it four years ago when we moved in and the kids have beaten it to heck! But, it is still going...several, several washes and much wear and it hanging in there looking good. If we had more space I'd get more of them, but we don't!
You can also get the foam inserts from Amazon for $50.00 to replace when it gets old. Ours is about there!
Pottery Barn Wall Unit
We LOVE our Wall Unit. The price tag might seem like a lot but the organization it provides and the durability of the product makes it worth it. It has been four years and the furniture is really doing awesome. Dings and scratches have come but it still looks great. I'd buy it again any day!
Hippo High Chair
We bought two of these with the twins and we LOVE them! They can travel with you if you like but we tend to keep ours at home. I would definitely recommend them!
Da Vinci Systems Emily Mini 2-in-1 Convertible Baby Crib - Honey Oak
These things are amazing. They have been worth every penny. We used them for the twins. Ordered another one, a third one, converted them for all 3 boys and have now made two of them into cribs again for our other babies. They are durable and easy to take apart and put together!!!

We have been buying the boys boots for 3 years now and we LOVE them! We can't get enough of good, sturdy, awesome looking kids cowboy boots. Of course this year Brynn got in on the fun too and for little girls they are the BEST!
We buy boots from two places:
Sheplers.com and/or The Boot Barn here in Phoenix.
We specifically love the Old West Kids Boots. They are awesome.
Great quality, long lasting, comfortable, and great price.
Brynn has these Roper boots and they are AWESOME! She LOVES them. Aren't they cute? They are also available at Sheplers.com.The kids wear their boots all the time. Summer, fall, winter, spring, riding bikes, going to the park, camping, hiking, with socks, without socks (unfortuantely) and every where in between.
The best part...no tying shoes!
