A Picture Update

TGIF PEOPLE!

I think I may need to discontinue the Friday photo posts, due to there really not being any photos taken most weeks worth posting. Teens/tweens are too busy and the weeks just fly by!  So my only photo to share tonight is a pretty sky.

Have a good weekend! 

Happy Birthday Mila!!

Mila is 5 today! Woohoo!!! 

Happy birthday to the girl who Callie once called “a vibe.” We love you and hope you had a great day! 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Happy Sunday. This weekend flew by! Yesterday I finished another cross-stitch (if you have watched Schitt’s Creek you will get the reference, if not google the fold in the cheese scene and giggle) and Luna was cute.

We celebrated G-ma’s birthday with swimming and dinner. 

This morning had pretty winter sunrays. 

I made soup and Maya and I stopped over at Boom’s. 

We FaceTimed Auntie Mari, Avery and Carter later! 

Go Luther! 

Have a good week! 

A Picture Update

TGIF!!! The only photos from this busy week are from tonight- Maya and I met Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla for ice skating with Anna and Elsa!

Have a good weekend! 

Timehop Tuesday

Sigh…

Weekend Wrap-Up

Not much to say today. I have tried to avoid the news and spent my time doing laundry and cross-stitching. Also it’s so freaking cold. 

Here are the weekend pictures. 

Saturday- Luna sleeping and fun at Boom’s house

Sunday: Staying warm, soup making, and cookie decorating with Pa and Max

Then margaritas and crazy Maya 

Monday: Just a little Luna cuteness.

Have a good week! 

A Picture Update

Hey all-

TGIF. My brain is mush. Here are the pics: a pretty sunset, a new Luna bed, and the return of women’s basketball with the UNRIVALED league! 

I’ll be back on Monday night for the wrap-up. Thank goodness it’s a long weekend! 

Timehop Thursday

Ok I missed the Timehop by 2 days because this week has been BANANAS at work and my brain is complete mush by 4:30pm. 

But it has been very fun to get pictures of the new 12/22 baby for a side-by-side with the 12/22 baby from 15 years ago!

And then there is this girl! 

Weekend Wrap- Up: Happy Birthday G-ma!

Happy Sunday! Hooray…It’s G-ma’s birthday today. We met for a delicious brunch.

We love you and hope you had a great day!

Yesterday we played some indoor b-ball, Mario Carter and ate soup!

Have a good week. Here’s a cute Luna picture in honor of G-ma’s birthday.

A Picture Update

Hi everybody.  January 2025 has started out real weird. 

One thing we are leaving mostly back in 2024 is organized team sports. Yup. Callie is done with playing basketball. She just got too much of my genetic constitution predisposed to a negative amount of competitiveness and extra sensitivity to being yelled at and disappointing people. It was all too much moving into the New Year. 

All that said, we are very excited to start watching all the Unrivaled women’s basketball games that will be starting up next week. And if you don’t know what I’m talking about, look it up and watch the games!!!! 

Besides that, this is all I got. A very rare moment of sisters together on our bed getting along.

Have a good weekend! 

Timehop Tuesday

Today we have siblings! 

Callie and Maya- 2013

Lucy and Mila- 2020

Avery and Carter- 2024

A New Hobby for the New Year

After the election I found I needed something to do to keep my hands busy (instead of doomscrolling on my phone).

So I decided to try my hand(s) at cross-stitching! 🪡 

My first two projects were kits I got at Michael’s.

Then I decided that I should keep going and make all my nieces and nephews a little something for Christmas. I started with Avery and ended with Carter…funny to think he wasn’t born yet when I started! The two Colorado babies…mountains for Avery and a boat on a lake for Carter.

Then came Lucy and Mila…the nieces who love treats! 

Finally, Mitchell and Isla! Isla loves “mingos” and Mitchell loves dinos.

Then…I kept going. Christmas gifts for family too! Gardens for Mary, fishing for Chris, gratitude for my mom and Minnesota love for Mari and Josh.

And then there was canoe guiding for Cat, lake life for Pa and Max, Laura and Craig’s cool house, and wine for Dan and Hanna! 

Finally, I did my girls: a colorful name for Cal and Maya’s request of “Luna eating a taco.”

Thanks to the internet for helping get ideas (the amount I have googled things like “taco cross stitch” is  insane) and audiobooks and podcasts for keeping my mind engaged while my hands were busy.

I now have a thread organizer and some empty hoops, so we’ll see what this new year brings! 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Hey all! Happy Sunday! And just like that, winter break is over!  Here are my pics from the weekend…

On Friday night I was still in Denver and John and Jen came over for dinner. 

I spent the last few hours of Saturday morning soaking in the snuggles! 

And watching Avery run around! 


Here are some baby and toddler videos that are too cute. 

And then I got home to my crazy fam… and I wouldn’t have it any other way! 

Have a good week! Stay warm! 

A Picture Update

Hey all happy Friday! Somehow the second week of break is almost done. Here are some pics from the week.

On Monday Maya, Boom and I went to see Wicked in 3D! And then Maya always likes to yell “SELFIE” every once in a while and occasionally they turn out cute. 

On New Year’s Eve we met Uncle Dan, Auntie Hanna, Mitchell and Isla out for dinner (at 4:45, the only time we could get a reservation for 8!) and then they came back to our house for dessert and playtime. 

On Wednesday I met Jenna and Bethany for lunch while Maya created a house with her new hot glue gun. 

That evening I headed to…DENVER!!! I had to get some baby snuggles in before heading back to work. So the next set of photos are just straight up adorable baby (and toddler Avery) pics and I’m not sorry about it!


Oh yeah, and some of Rocky, too!

There was more of the same happening today, and It was delightful! 

Maya had a sleepover with Boom last night, and they headed to MOA today!


And Callie had a basketball game today and she played the last few minutes!!

Meanwhile in Denver…

Have a great weekend!
