What a feeling it is, When friends show up to your sons game to support and love him like their own.
It makes my heart so blessed to have the village I do. Im sad I didn't grab pictures of them with Ben , but it meant so much to us and him!
Thank you Allison, Vinny, Klohe, Kristen, and Lincoln for loving our boy!
And a momma from the other team, whom has known and loved Ben for YEARS. She caught one of Bens layups and sent it to me! Talk about friends! Opposing teammates, but still supportive.
About a month ago, Ben made the freshman team at his new high-school, he LOVES basketball and was so excited to join.
So far the season has been rough with losses every game, till last night! They finally had a win!!
Hopefully this gives the boys a boost of confidence and turns their year around!
Go Jets!!
And pa got a pretty awesome photo of Bens layup during the game! As my friend Emily would say "it's totally rad!"
And she LOVES IT!
Brooklynn is always a happy little girl, but there's a special light in her eyes when she's out there on the mats at practice! She works hard and put it all in. I'm so happy that her dreams are becoming a reality for her!
*and a huge thank you to pa and gigi for helping financially making this possible!
I wish I could say that sourdough bread making has been an easy experience for me.... but truthfully. It has not.
At all.
I still struggle every day. With every loaf.
Either the loaf is flat like a pancake. The dough is Too sticky to work with, I never ever get a nice "ear" , and so many more issues.
But i am not discouraged.
I will get this. It's just going to take a bit more time, but ill have sell worthy loaves before i die (that's not too big a goal right?) My family just has to suffer eating crappy loaves for a bit longer 😂😂
But yesterday. I tried a new recipe. Still sourdough, but a completely different method alltogether, and first loaf was more successful than most all my other loaves from the past year!
While not perfect, I felt excited and closer to my dreams.
I'll get this ya'll, I will!
She works Dailey on all the things gymnastics and never seems to tire of it. *She might even be the reason that cartwheels are no longer allowed at school (hallways, classrooms, gym) lolol
So, This years the only thing she asked for christmas was ....you guessed it, gymnastics lessons. And she was serious too. She told everyone she talked to "for Christmas I want gymnastics!!!"
So grandparents and parents together made it happen.
We found her private classes and her first lesson was last night. I've never seen her so exited and nervous. It was so stinking cute!
And it's no surpise that she nailed her first lesson and impressed her instructor from the first cartwheel. She said she has the moves of the dancer and secretly hoping she'll join that journey as well.
First class she was already working on black flips! This girls whole day was made! The smiles she gave me made this mommas heart so happy!
She's excited, nervous , and feeling all the emotions, but is braving it like a champ!
And daddy got to take a picture with her! This is a first! We can't remember a time when daddy was off work (temporary lay off), so yay for special moments!!
Have a great year little girl. We LOVE you!
It's harvest season. Lots to do. Always busy hands. And what better use of my time than to sit and watch my girl practice soccer and accomplishing much needed work!
So this made me giggle.
My precious in-laws, (who I adore btw) think I'm a bit much with my chicken (cough,cough) addiction, but they do know how much I love them so they support me through it all... just with a few eye rolls along the way. Lol
All in good fun and humor.
So when I opened the mail box this week and saw i got a card from them, I legit giggled when I saw the chicken on the front.
They get me. And.
❤️ I love them.
It's official! Ben passed his first part of training, received his pink slip and Is legal to drive with our family!
It's an exciting new time for our family! Thankfully, he gets to zoom in all his classes except the last one, making it fit into our schedule easily and not disrupt the rest of our lives horribly!
Man its bitter sweet watching your kids grow up!!
