Happy MAY DAY!

It doesn't feel like May, but that's okay, a couple more days cozy-ing up inside never hurt anyone. Hope the sun comes out at some point this month and gives us some warmth.

In my 28 post I said I wanted to sew. Well... I fired up my sewing machine last week (with the help of my mama) and completed some burp cloths. I am now ready for some bigger projects and am hoping to make a few summer dresses for Lucy and some matching pj pants with my girl Ash.

In other news: it's been raining pretty much non-stop for the last 4 days with really no end in sight. I watched the radar yesterday afternoon and when I thought I had a 30 minute window, Lucy and I got out for a run. It felt great and sometimes that fresh air is exactly what you need for a lift of spirits. 
Talk about lifting the spirits!... On Monday I met my sister and mom at Starbucks for a hangout. Lucy and I had the best morning- what's better than sbux coffee, and Print girls with babies?!?! Amos is such a sweet little guy. It's so fun watching him be a big brother/ cousin! He's started to *sort of* say my name (ca-ca)... I love it!!!!

I was packing up some of Lucy's clothes today and was so sad to put this little sweatshirt away. It was always one of my favorites. What happened to those skinny little legs?!? She has rolls and rolls now! This afternoon when I got her up from her nap she just smiled and did this little snort laugh for a minute. It was the best. I love every little thing about her and I love seeing her personality develop. 

Happy May to all!

XO

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Lucy is 13 + happenings.

My tiny 6lb 15oz baby turned 13 yesterday. How can it be?? She's absolutely lovely inside and out and we had a wonderful weekend celebrating who she is. I made Sally's Baking Addiction Cookies and Creme cake and it was SO yummy. Look at all those candles! Ziva, Lucy and Lyla at the MOA where we literally shopped til we dropped and went in EVERY single makeup store the mall has to offer. We ate a late dinner at Chipotle.  Lucy might be the easiest person in the world to buy presents for. Everything makes her happy. She is so grateful and she is so excited! She loved the weekend and we love watching her get older.  All 3 kids killed it last weekend in sports. Sten and I were able to make it to all the games/meet and the weather was perfect and I had so much fun watching them do sporty things. Lucy shaved 3 minutes off her time on this exact same course from last year. At this rate next year she'll be faster than me in the 2 mile.  Both boys played QB and they are so differe...
