Scouting, Moongazing & Turning 45


Pinewood Derby prep. 


Tate was excited about the full moon (January 24).



He's such a good daddy.



Sherry Varnum lost her sweet Mama last week. Heather, Khaysy and I rode together to the funeral in Dover. All five of Sherry's kids sang during the service, and it was absolutely beautiful. What a talented family! Sherry also sang along with Emmylou & Char. 


Sherry did an amazing job honoring her mama. The burial immediately followed in the cemetery behind the church (First Baptist of Dover)


Meanwhile, Michael and Tate were at a scouts campout at Camp Brorein in Odessa. Tate was the first out the window to repel down the wall. He was super scared at first, but then he wanted to do it again!




He did it several times. Feeling brave!


Gopher tortoise sighting!


The kids celebrated by 45th with homemade cards & voluntary hugs.






Mrs. McCoy texted me this picture on my birthday... Tate has asked me what time I was born, and I said around 7:00 a.m. Colorado time, which is around 9:00 a.m. Florida time. He was counting down until 9:00 in her class this morning. 


Birthday lunch at The Terrace with my friends! Char was in town for the funeral, so she joined us. Charlotte, Sherry, April, Callie, Casey, Abby, me & Heather. 


Skyler celebrated her 18th birthday with her crew at her house over the weekend. They painted a Last Dinner, with Grace Rodda using her skills to depict everyone present. Wes had to be depicted in his ubiquitous long sleeve Harding Bison shirt. Jai, Lily, Malachi, Maddie, Henry, Skyler, Audrey, Grace Rodda, Wes, Jacob & Grace Pagliaro planked by fictional video game characters.

Baby Girl's Fourteen


She's 14 today. My dark haired, brown eyed girl... just like me. My baby girl... just like me.  My #3... just like me.  I love you so much, Carigan. Thank you for bringing me so much joy (and for being my only child who looks like me). I'm never letting you go.





Always making me laugh... when you "remind" her to do things, she puts herself in the corner. God gave us a beautiful sunset for her 14th!



Found my old Who Dat's shirt from my college days, and Wes is excited about it. 


Michael brought Tate some baby training chopsticks from China years ago, and it's all C wants to use to eat. So I found her more on Amazon. weirdo. 


I literally gave her a hand.



Weighted blanket is no match for the Dad crush.
