Life is gritty, messy, chaotic and imperfect. I want to remember every moment of it!
Happy Birthday to my son-in love. He has had a great year, career wise, and in family, God is blessing! He has big dreams for the future and I look forward to watching him accomplish them. So proud of who he is as a young man, spouse and father.
We made brunch for Tori’s birthday. The whole tribe (and a few adopted members) swarmed her home for a few hours. Ironically as I was thinking about what to say about my oldest I came across a draft in my blog that I had written for her birthday ten years ago. How crazy (and perfect) is time?! To my 16 […]
To my kindhearted, analytical, creative and intelligent daughter. I love the fun we have on our many mission impossible shopping trips. I love that other people can see your heart. I love your singing voice, (where did that come from?) I love your patience with your siblings. I love how you love Jesus. I love when you sing me songs […]
It is never going to make sense, seeing my little’s become adults. Jordan has officially joined the ranks! The transition from teen to adult appeared smooth to me although he may tell a different story. Jordan has always seemed like a young/old man to me. I remember holding him only a couple of hours after his birth and looking […]
Jordan decided that besides his usual birthday request to get a new phone he also wanted to try jet skiing. I was glad he wanted to try something new! We […]

For Tres 21 birthday he wanted a bowling party. Well a week before the party he canceled to go to a KB concert in Orlando. Nothing gets between this guy […]
She texted me a little after midnight. I didn’t see it until I woke up restless around 4 am. My heart raced, I texted back. “Do you need me yet?” […]
I can’t believe my Tres is 20 years old. He has become such an amazing young man. I have watched him over the past few years become bold and unapologetic […]
Loving how fun First Lady Michelle Obama’s bangs look. Had to get me some!
My firstborn baby turned 21 today. How ridiculously crazy is that! I know people always say “it goes so fast!” It does! Too fast. If I allowed myself I could […]
I love a theme party. I am always trying to find a reason to have one. Birthdays are my outlet! I found the cutest ideas for a super hero party […]
Jordan has not wanted a birthday party since he turned 10. He preferred getting more money or bigger presents and forgoing the party. (My wonderful introvert) This year he gave me […]
Thanks to +Pintrest ( have I mentioned how much I LOVE it) we pulled off the requested Hawaiian Beach Party. The sparkly purple outfit was the Birthday Outfit she had put together to wear […]
Tres woke up at the crack of dawn on his birthday requesting to unwrap his gift. He asked for an Playstation 3. He already knew what he was getting and had already started buying […]
