Birthday celebrations for our 14 year old!

 We had such a sweet day on the 24th celebrating our girl! Doughnuts were a must on her special plate with a backdrop of her birthday banners…

Kit was away for a lead team retreat but made it home for our tradition of Korean BBQ and birthday affirmations. 

She ended the day with her free birthday drink at Starbucks.

It was such a sweet time together! We have big birthday plans this weekend and we can’t wait for the celebrations to continue.

And so it begins…

 The tinkering on the car has begun, rain or shine… First up was making the headlights brighter. Success! My guys are having the best time…

how is this possible…

 Today my baby turns fourteen, which doesn’t make sense to me because wasn’t her first birthday just yesterday?

I am not well…

Winter formal 2026

 This last Friday, Ryder and his friends attended their high school's winter formal.  It was a semiformal event at Dave and Buster's With limitless games and food.  It was right up the alley of this kid! I also love that he has such a sweet crew of friends:

I can't believe this kid is almost a junior!

It’s official…

 It’s official. Ryder had his first official driving lesson and we got the official signature that he is ready to officially drive with us and a permit. 

Officially…😉

smitten

 Ryder needed to give the Huggs a wash to get the salt off of it from living near the beach. 

We’ve had some rain so I think it felt silly to wash it knowing rain was coming, but he was absolutely smitten with cleaning and detailing this truck..

Time with Grandi and Monkey Papa

 Last week, our Grandi and Monkey Pspa came down to go to Disneyland and we got to see them they stayed with us. After their days at Disneyland, we would watch the Olympics, they came to Eden’s goalie practice, and we even got to grab dessert and catch up.

It was a really sweet time together.
