I figured it was time for another life update! I feel like the summer just flew by, and now we’re right back into the routine of school and sports. I always have mixed feelings when school starts. Part of me wants the kids home forever. I sometimes consider homeschooling, but it’s nice to have the separation in my day. I can work while the kids are gone and then completely focus on them when they get home!

: SPORTS
This year, we aren’t running to football games for Hudson, and we don’t have a high school cheerleader to watch anymore. I thought I would miss it all, but honestly, it’s given us way more family time, which I will always fight for – so I’m loving it!! Both boys are in baseball, and both younger girls are in All-Star cheer, and ALLLL their practices are in full swing. This Spring is going to be CRAZY with baseball tournaments and cheer comps, so I’m just enjoying this time right now with only practices.
: HOME
I absolutely love being home. I feel like I’ve turned into a homebody over the last few years. And I’m not mad about it. I’m really excited to decorate for the holidays this year. Last year was such a whirlwind with moving and Hunter’s Senior year, so I’m excited to be home a bit more and just enjoy all the fun holiday decor.
: FAMILY
Joe is still absolutely loving his job 2.5 years later. We’re honestly still pinching ourselves that we’re back in our hometown surrounded by friends and family!
I recently had a switch/addition to my work team, and it has ended up being a good thing. Honestly, I’m just trying to get into a groove of the kids being back in school and a good workflow + home balance. I would love to get back into cooking and baking. So I think I’m finally going to take one day off a week. I’ve said this for a few years, but I’m really making it happen this year!
Hunter is on track to graduate from hair school in three months. We’re hoping she will be done by the very beginning of December. She also turns 19 in November, and we are so proud of her and what she’s accomplished and such a short amount of time. She’ll only be 19 and have her career ready to go.
Hudson‘s been invited to a PBR Super Sophomore event held at the University of Oregon for baseball, which is a pretty big deal! Him driving has also totally lightened my driving load. He is the best helper and drives the girls to all of their practices! I miss our one-on-one drives, but the girls have absolutely been loving the alone time with him.
Hayden’s 14th birthday is in a few weeks. All she can talk about is going to New York at Christmas time, and that has been on my bucket list as well for years! So maybe that’s something we’ll try to do this year or even next.
The babies are great. (And yes, I’m pretty sure we will always call them the babies even when they are 15 and 16!! Haha).
: TRAVEL PLANS
We are going to Seaside/30A in a month, and I can hardly wait! This has been on my vacation list for years, and we’re finally making it happen. We are going for a week and I’m so excited to soak up all the family time. If any of you have ever been, we would love any recommendations!
