HAPPY 17th Birthday!!

 We will celebrate with Dad and friends this weekend ... but had to do SOMETHING on his actual day!

I know he didn't love going to PT, but he does love soccer... so 7am wake-up call was doable!

I went to school to decorate his car and right when I was done, everything blew off.  Such a bummer!

I picked up his favorite food from Best Thai and then Connie came over.

We made his favorite pretzels... had dinner, gave tiny gifts (all he wanted was money and that's what he got from everyone).

I stole this photo... and he hated it... but I didn't care!


because we had already made him do this... LOL

This was just candy and snacks... he's 17 - and his gift didn't arrive yet...

Connie is SO thoughtful!


and his infamous pretzels that he loves!!!


Happy 17th Tristan... and cheers to MANY more!

I love you more than carbs and puppies!!

Too heartbreaking, my Aunt just lost her sister TOO OVERWHELMING. I CAN'T GO BE WITH MY FAMILY. Then the call came that he was off of life support, and he died. My Uncle John, big burly Uncle Johnny... was gone. My Aunt Jeanne posted on Facebook. So I posted... then Auntie T... And then mom posted... and our hearts broke.  Just broke.   Every time we talk  - we just can't make sense of it. I know in time.. it will sink in.  He will not be there at the airport when I get home next trip. He won't be at Christmas or at the table eating sauce.  He's gone. BUT I WILL REMEMBER. I will tell the stories and I will keep him ali...

  I've never been to the Gala before and it was beautiful. Our worship leaders Shane & Shane led worship, we had three great tables and I'm told they raised $300K!! Unfortunate lighting made for green photos!! I know my boy was happy to see his girlfriend!! Filters help! Added Bliss too! And Julie Bell looked stunning! Stole this one from Iris! The photographer saved the day with lighting! Then yesterday we started of YMSL with Dallas Life and then a Pickleball tournament to raise another $2,000 for Orphan Outreach! Busy and fun few days!
