Family pictures for Nana’s 🥳

 For my moms birthday she wanted a picture with the whole family. That’s A LOT of people and A LOT of crazy 😜. 

My family had to rush home from J.T.’s wrestling tournament that was 4 hours away to make it back so we would be there and so I could make dinner for my mom. She asked if I would make curry. Not going to lie, I make a delicious curry. 😋 

It was crazy and I felt like I was running a million miles a minute this last weekend. But everything turned out and now I am back to weekday basket ball games for my 3 girls, weekday wrestling meets, piano lessons, dance and every other thing I have to do at home 😜 . (I guess there is no rest for the wicked) 

J.T. Takes first!

 J.T. Went to another tournament this last weekend and he took first. He wrestled some tough kids! I am so proud of my son. He worked hard and is tough as nails. State is soon and he has a good shot of being a state champion this year…I have no doubt that he can do it.❤️ I love that our boys change into their white singlets for champion matches. The best pictures I have, my sister in law took when he was wearing red.( not the championship match) But I did take a screen shot of him in white with his arm raised after he took first in the championship match.💪

Break for me🌻

A break for me means I get some time to myself. I actually got to sit and play my guitar for an hour without any interruptions! So I learned a new song… 🎶 and here it is! 

Yes, I love-love songs. I love love! I hope everyone I know and love has a New Year full of falling in love!💕🌻

Christmas

Christmas has been a wonderful break! I feel like Thanksgiving to Christmas has been a whirlwind of activities and craziness. To have two weeks off from school has been so nice for me. We have slowed down a bit and have enjoyed each others company.

We did Christmas parties with both families this year again. My families party was at our house Christmas Eve. So that was a little … hmm…. Messy but fun.😜

Jon’s families was at his parents house and that was fun as well. 

I am blessed to have such wonderful family. I also am grateful for Jesus Christ who was born and who has died to save all mankind. ❤️

(don’t mind this messy room…my kids always have a sleepover together in one room Christmas Eve.🥰 they even wanted the dogs…🙄😒😜 it was Christmas…what was I supposed to say?!)

 

Thanksgiving

 Thanksgiving was wonderful and busy! We went to both parents this year… With Jon’s family, we had our annual bow shooting competition. That was fun to watch. 🏹 with my family we went out to wild growth and had a fun maze and enough room for the kids to run around and play.

It was nice to have a break from dance, basketball games, volleyball games and wrestling meets. 🥱💤(this mama is tired!) 

We enjoyed thanksgiving! The food was good and the company was alright too…😉

Song I’ve been working on🎶

I am very shy when it comes to singing. I am secretly glad that no one reads my blog anymore. Only those that are super close to me know about this blog… I didn’t  want to forget working on this song. I normally just play guitar, but I have been trying to challenge myself and I am trying to learn piano a little bit. So I wanted to document me stepping out on a ledge and trying something new. I do mess up in the videos, but I am a pretty busy mom and so I normally only get a minute or two by myself here and there. And I wanted to document my progress. Music is sunshine for me. So those minutes I get bring happiness to my soul. 🌻 
 

Football is over 🥺🥺😭

 

It is always hard when a football season ends when you don’t win that gold ball. It is especially hard when your son is graduating this year and won’t ever play football again in high school, if ever again…🥺😢😭 I. Can’t. Deal. With. My. Son. Growing. Up…

This was the last time that I hugged my son after a high school football game. That was hard for me. 💔

JT had an amazing game. He went HARD all night. He never gave up and seriously had the heart of a lion!!❤️

I am so proud to have such an amazing son. I am so glad this isn’t the end and that we get to move on to wrestling! JT has a HUGE shot at being a state champion this year in wrestling. (He is that good) Bring on wrestling mom mode!!

I have to say, I wasn’t ready for this boy. I was soooo young when I had this boy and I finally knew what love was. The moment they placed him in my arms I was speechless. My heart exploded into a thousand pieces and I’ll never get them back... They belong to each and every one of my children. 

I absolutely love being a mom. The moment I became a mom, I lost myself. I quit doing the things I thought I loved because I now truly knew what I loved and I wanted to be the best mom…

I am not the best mom. I am far from it. I have made so many mistakes. Especially with JT. I pray and hope he forgives me someday when he holds his first child in his arms an realizes he doesn’t know what he is doing either.

I just hope he knows as he moves on soon that I will always hold him in my heart and my arms if he needs. I would do anything for this boy that is now a very handsome, smart, strong, funny, determined and hardworking young man. 

I am his number one fan and will always be…

“Slow down. Won’t you stay here a minute more? I know you wanna walk through that door. But it’s all too fast. Let’s make it last a little while. I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly. I am your biggest fan. I hope you know I am…but do you think you can somehow..slow down?”

Slow down bud. You’re taking my heart with you and I don’t know if I am ready.
