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!

8th grade award ceremony

 Our Eden had her last middle school award ceremony yesterday. Kit is gone for a work trip so I got to celebrate double. 

It’s so fun to get to watch her acknowledged for her hard work with her friends too! She won awards for her achievements in advanced math in Algebra and she was celebrated with the ASB award for Leadership and celebrated her role as ASB President. We had to celebrate with Starbucks after school.

We are so proud of this girl!

grateful

 In the midst of a full month of activities, I’m still keeping up with my work schedule…

I’m grateful for what and how this position provides!

Friday traditions

 On Fridays we drive the Huggs and have our date at The Parlor in Tustin.

 It’s probably my favorite tradition of the week.
