Happy Easter 2018



Baylor's basket


T's goodie bag from Grammy!



Tristan is SUCH a great kid.  I watched him as he helped Baylor "open" her gifts first.. and he played with her before even going to his basket.  That means a lot in this day and age...



He had already opened gifts from Bumpa.  


Still laughing about the Easter Bunny poop!!



and then when we got home from lunch with the family - we busted these open.  They are SO fun!!

Thank you Grammy!!


T with his loot!


he also hunted eggs in the house..


then it was time to head to church and he hung with his crew...


and somehow we scored a family pic (thank you Tracy and thank you Holt for controlling that hair!!)




We headed to the rents for lunch with the family. Sadly I didn't get ONE picture. UGH!

I remembered I had another pool gift for him... and of course - he just haaaad to blow it up!


we laughed our buts off trying to get that thing done!


and now he wants it to live here!!


Um - NO!  hahahaahaha

 I feel like I wasn't prepared for Easter.  Didn't walk through all of this with Tristan.  Didn't talk enough, DO enough.  But, then I realize that some of this is on me but the rest.. that's God. He shows such grace to us, such patience.  I'm SO thankful that tomorrow is a new day and I get a "do over".

I want Tristan to walk in truth, I want him to celebrate the way that I did today.  Tears streaming down my face all because I understand what my Savior did for me and for you.  I'm thankful.

I watched the Passion and Miracles from Heaven... I'm thankful when Hollywood does it right.  I'm thankful when I FEEL at my core - thankful that every once in a while.. God shines through.

Happy Easter T - chase after Jesus.  The gift of eternity is greater than anything you could ever find in some silly basket.

Love you Bud!!  Mommy

Math Olympics here we come!!!

You wanted this SO badly Tristan.  You are SO good at math... but it's been a very stressful time for our family.  You've handled it well but I just wasn't sure.  Then you wanted THIS one thing so badly. You had to earn it.  All alone.  And you did. I never tutor him in math. THE ONE THING I CAN... he doesn't need.  So - we go back to 4th-grade science, social studies, etc. together! LOL THIS YOU DID ALL ON YOUR OWN!!! 5th place in your whole school!! ON TO MATH OLYMPICS!!!! rabbit face! PURE PRIDE!! and then killing it across the board! Proud Mom alert!  Proud Mom alert!!! We're pooped!  Gotta rest that big brain for tomorrow!!!

She turned one and the day was fun!!

Can't believe she's ONE already - Happy Birthday Baylor!!! she's injured so we couldn't take her to the dog park or running or anything she would have loved... praying her leg heals - can't really afford a $4k surgery!!! Then, Braeden came over and we headed to the company picnic! Awkward "family" photo... hahahahaha they spent most of their time in the bounce house... but there was some ping pong action as well... And when T got in line for the pinata... I warned them... that no other would most likely go after him... three swings and he sheered the head right off that thing! Lots of loot for all. The kiddos were pretty jazzed! Then, before the day was over we went out to watch my bosses all get hit in the face with pie.  $5 each throw and it all went to charity. I donated $20 (but I knew I couldn't hit them) and promptly gave those tickets away. Krueger... hilarious! Such...

And just like that... he's TEN!

Oh man, these posts are such a celebration but also SO hard. I mean, a year.  A YEAR has gone by. HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?  And let's not dive too deep into that because that means I'm almost 48!!! But I love this kid.... BIG TIME He had 3 basketball games this weekend.  He killed it.  I love watching him play... he's just a natural.  But he's also kind.  If someone gets hurt, he's concerned.  He usually takes a knee but sometimes he's so worried the team has to jar him to do it.  That's something I love about him. He LOVES his friends. I mean LOVES and it is just the sweetest.  He's a stinker sometimes (who isn't) but he's a great friend that will stand by you, stand up for you and he will love you.  That's something I love about him. He loves animals.  He sees them, talks about them, recites the 9,000 facts he knows about them.  He loves Baylor, still talks about Aslan and Simba.  Another thing I lo...
