Happy Easter 2026

Image
Holidays are a lot harder (emotionally) when your kids are teens. I imagine it will be hard until Tristan has a family of his own and I get to spoil his kids. I'm a big kid at heart and I want to do all of the little fun things... and he doesn't.  Of course he doesn't. He liked his basket... But didn't love getting up for church on Sunday Thankfully he LOOOOVES the Rhodes family!! I got really lucky and this kid let me go to his Prom-posal with him! I helped with the sign... and had a MAJOR PARTY FOUL... I spelled Lilly's name wrong!! I'm still not over my spelling!!! Man oh man, I need a hobby, I need a life!!!!!!!!!!

Two bright spots this week

Well, we did it... we took T on another college tour  TO BAYLOR! Sadly, things didn't go as planned, Holt got sick But it was still fun to see the campus. I'm sad that it won't be in the running... too expensive for the Barbers Then I came home to this from Eric... and the man doesn't throw around complements. Nice to be seen!!

I got a Valentine!!!  Heather knows my heart and how much I love her dog! T woke up... getting better (thank God) and he rallied for Raylee. LOL They've been friends for years... and her boyfriend broke up with her so they went together.  There is no "ask" because, they decided not to do that.   My friend Julie then saw the gang and dinner... and blamed me for this - LOL Group pics at DCC (never want to walk through those doors again BTW)   Brothas from anotha motha Some of the soccer team! being dorks (I told them not to do that pose) We asked for so many pics... and the boys complied but I think they were happy to change moms for a minute: And of course,  pics from the actual dance... Annabelle and T ... friends for years~ Sweet Addy! Some of the team... A LOT of the team... I'm glad he has great friends, this school isn't easy, and this year... less so. Lord, He's in Your hands.  Help me to be a light, help me to be a great mom and help me stay out ...
