Spring 2026

There just aren’t enough hours in the day.  Here I am falling behind with keeping up with our world…again. I’m going to try to capture what the first few months of 2026 held for our family of four. 

Lots of snow❄️

We celebrated Jude turning 11!! 

We had a date night and celebrated Matt’s birthday at Ruth’s Chris

I snuck away and met these precious friends in Dallas for a girls weekend

Meetings are always a good time with this crew

Spring baseball started up in full swing. ⚾️

Reese made the FJHS track team and ran the 100M hurdles this year. She did great and we are so proud of her for trying something new!

We went to see family in Monroe over Spring Break.

After church on Easter Sunday, we went to eat with Mom and Dad at Monte Ne Inn. 

Sis soaked up some fun with her sweet friends. 

And this little nugget is growing like a weed!

Christmas Day and Birthday Celebrations

Christmas Day was as magical as ever.🎄❤️  After opening presents at our house, we headed to Mom and Dad’s at the farm. Brunch, mimosas, presents under the tree, games, and puzzles around the table. The weather was gorgeous (just like Thanksgiving). We sat outside and watched football while the kids enjoyed the hot tub. 

The biggest surprise for Reese and Brooks was the gift that Santa brought this year. Meet our sweet Remy Rae, a mini goldendoodle. 

My kids have been BEGGING for another dog, so much so that they wanted to forfeit any vacations this next year if it was going to be too expensive. 🤯 While I will not be doing that, we are excited to welcome Rocky’s little sister and our new addition. ❤️

And as we do every year, the day after Christmas we celebrate my Mom & Dad’s December birthdays with the whole fam bam. Dinner at Old Chicago and then to Fast Lanes. We bowl, we play laser tag, and we waste way too much money at the arcade.  It’s one of my favorite nights of the year!! 🎉
