Spoiled

 When these two make us dinner, it is the absolute best!

When an Italian girl gets married, if she’s smart, she teaches her husband how to cook all the favorites then she sits back and watches the magic!

Cerritos Memorial Cup 2026

 Over Memorial Day weekend, Eden and her team participated in a tournament in prep for our upcoming playoffs. In 4 games, she had 3 clean sheets, including the semi finals. Eden is fearless! Here were some snap shots over the three days:

We lost in the semi-finals but I am so proud of these girls! And Eden battles. Of 4 games, she had three clean sheets and was only scored on once. Cheering her on was so fun!

Eden’s 8th grade Promotion

 On May 21, we celebrated Eden’s 8th grade promotion. She was chosen as the class speaker and absolutely nailed it! She had medals for academics, leadership, and athletics. She’s amazing…

We loved watching and getting to celebrate with her and classmates and friends this new chapter!

We got to end the night with sushi with our besties:

We are so proud of you baby girl!

Memorial Day 2026

 This is more than a 3-day weekend…

We are so grateful for those that sacrificed everything… There are no words.

Celebrating our 8th grader

 Yesterday was Eden’s 8th grade promotion. It was so special… I’m still organizing my thoughts and photos from last night, but here is her photo wall and all the little details of her graduation decorations:

We are so proud of this girl! I can’t wait to tell you all about her promotion next week!

green thumbs!

 I pulled our first tomatoes, basil, and cilantro this week. 

I am so excited that I married someone with a green thumb!

a new (soccer) chapter

 On May 12, Ryder had his first practice with his new MLS next team. 

In honor of this new chapter, I wanted to commemorate that a couple of weeks ago, Ryder closed out the season with his old team and coach. We are so grateful for opportunities he’s had to grow!

Looking ahead, I’m so happy for him. He is over the moon for every opportunity that comes!
