What happens in Vegas…

This last weekend we were in Las Vegas for a soccer game for Eden. We left Friday and made our way home after her game on Saturday. On Friday we had little adventures and stops before we made it to our hotel in Lake Las Vegas:

Our hotel was so pretty and relaxing. We enjoyed time in the pool and walking around the little village where we ate Italian food and finished with sorbet:

Saturday was time to sleep in a little bit and then lock in. It was their last game of league. The girls were always so sweet to Eden and I am so proud of how they battled!

April book

 Last month my library card expired and It took a minute to renew it. Now I am able to resume my reading! Here is this month’s book:

The Road to Tender Hearts 

by Annie Hartnett

A darkly funny and heartfelt novel about 63-year-old PJ Halliday, a struggling, alcoholic lottery winner who sets out on a cross-country road trip to reconnect with his high school sweetheart. Along the way, he unexpectedly becomes the guardian of two orphaned children and travels with his adult daughter and a mysterious cat that seems to predict death.

As their chaotic journey unfolds, the group confronts grief, broken relationships, and the possibility of redemption—ultimately discovering that family, responsibility, and second chances can emerge in the most unlikely ways.  

Mental health

A new favorite hobby:

Doodling to instrumental music, an audible book, or a devotional…

My brain is so happy. It’s funny how something so simple is so fun!

Viral Dumpling “Recipe”

 Eden and I had fun trying a Tik Tok recipe for Trader Joe’s dumplings in onion cups. They were so good and we had fun playing with the toppings! We will be making these again!

 

The cutest announcers there ever was…

 While I was in Redlands, Ryder had a soccer game and Eden spent time with her bestie, which included then announcing the players for her little brother’s little league game…

He went 3 for 3 at bat. Eden said it was the cutest ever!

Time with family…

 Over the weekend, I got to head out to Redlands to spend time with family. I hit to slumber party with my sister while my brother in law is out of town. We walked, talked, ate, and laughed.

We ended the time with dinner with our parents. It was a sweet time of sharing life together!
