A long awaited trip...

 

Today I am heading to McCall, Idaho with my sister to visit my cousin Heather.  It will be my first girls trip away since Ryder was born.  Kit has wanted me to go on a trip FOREVER, and though it is long overdue, I am ridiculously excited about our time away! 

My personal handyman

 Last Friday, we discovered a leak from our RO, behind our dishwasher.  It had saturated our kitchen's moister pad and many of the floor boards. My Husband handled it all like a boss.

From the flooring to the plumbing, he handled it all like a CHAMP!

My heart is so grateful for my amazing personal handyman...

Mother's Day 2021

 This year, I was assigned to work on Mother's Day.  I loved getting to be with new mamas.  It made me reflect on how fast it all goes... 

Also I was spoiled with the sweetest cards...

Someday, there won't be Legos on the floor, or remnant craft items strewn across out house.  Someday I will come home and the only voice I will hear to greet me is Kit's (which is still so nice...❤︎).  Someday there won't be laundry from school uniforms or sports in a pile at the top of the stairs.  Someday I will walk into the kitchen and not have leftover messes from snacks and meals that people prepared for themselves... Someday I will realize how fast it really all goes and that my kids are living their own lives, changing the world and starting families of their own.  So today, I cherish the here and now, that I get a front row seat of being these kiddos mama... How sweet life is with these two... ❤︎

Special guests for lots and lots of sports!

 On Saturday, our Mia and Papa came out to cheer the kiddos on in their soccer and baseball games.

It's so fun to have them with us!

Fridays are my favorite...

 Last Friday, Kit took to a special spot for an early mother's day lunch...

Food was awesome, the weather was beautiful, and the view was top notch...❤︎

Then we grabbed a coffee and walked around and talked...

Thank you Kit for loving me so well.  

You are such a gift to me...

snuggle bugs...

 These two absolutely adore each other...

We love watching them together!

getting lost...

 I needed to pick up kitchen cabinet paint for touch-ups in our kitchen.  The paint was sold in a really cool antique mall. Since the kids are in full day, I took the opportunity to wander around the store and it was just so fun!

I ended up getting my favorite local fish tacos on the way home.  It was so nice to just get lost for a bit and not have to hurry to get back...
