LIFE UPDATE

: MY UPDATE

Me… Drowning in high school cheer. Ha ha don’t say that, but that’s how I feel. We just had high school tryouts last week and had the best turnout. The school has had in nearly 10 years. Hayden made the team so I’m super excited to be able to spend a lot more time with her.

I have the absolute best coaches with so much talent and we’re excited for a great year next year. 

I just feel like life doesn’t slow down. We’re in the thick of baseball for Hudson.

Joe and I are going to Cabo next week. It’s been over a year or two since we’ve taken a trip for more than 24 hours just the two of us. We’re really excited as we’re going with our residency family. Maybe explain who those people are we were in med school/residency with these people and have been friends for years. There are 10 couples and we do or try to do a family vacation on the odd years and a couple couples vacation on even years. It is a lot of work, but everyone’s willing to sacrifice and it’s been so fun to stay close over the years.

Overall, we’re doing great! I still can’t wrap my mind around not having all my kids here for the holidays, but we are slowly adjusting.

: JOE

Joe is in full-house building mode! It’s like watching a little kid. He wants to go to the lot and look at the changes every single day. I, on the other hand, stop by once a week. We’re in the middle of framing, so you can actually see progress, and the kids are finally starting to get excited. I think since we have had this on our radar for almost 6 years, we’ve kind of lost a little bit of our excitement. If you want to read about the journey of building our dream home, you can read it here.

: HUNTER

Hunter is doing so well! Even better than I could imagine. I feel like she’s living a little bit of a college life. She and her companion are such a cute match together. They have so much fun together and love doing face masks and sharing their hearts out. She is truly happy, and her light and smile are bigger and brighter than ever. We miss her every day, but get to FaceTime with her on Mondays. So that has become our favorite day of the week!

: HUDSON

Hudson is in the middle of baseball season. State baseball is in a few weeks, and he’s doing great. He’s having such a good season and has such a fun team to play with.

: HAYDEN

Hayden never slows down and wants to be on every cheer team out there. She’s currently on two All-Star teams and now the high school team! She is and always keeps us on our toes. She is the sweetest girl to everyone and never wants anyone to feel left out.

: HOUSTON

The babies kind of get put on the back burner. Houston is in the middle of baseball season, but we changed teams for him this year to just have a slower pace. His team doesn’t travel as much, which is so nice because we are always traveling for the bigger kids. He’s my most easy-going kid and just loves to be around people.

: HARPER

Harper is about to finish up her first year of All-Star cheer. We go to a big cheer competition in Florida in a couple of weeks, and this will be her first time performing there! She has a countdown and is completely ecstatic about this. I seriously can’t believe my baby is nine years old. I’m just trying to soak it all in.
