“Moving to the Bleachers” For Easter – Easter 2025
We got lucky enough to celebrate with most of our kids this Easter. The weekend was filled up with kids, grand babies, long walks and motherhood epiphanies.

Easter weekend

Grace Jam Here in the Desert
Before Easter we had a pretty joyful reunion with Grace. Oh we sure love that girl. We were wishing everyone else could have joined us too, but man alive, there’s something so special about having one on one time with my kids. I needed a little time with Grace. This girl is so full of…
Anniversary Number 3 for two kids heading on a new adventure
