Falling into a routine....

BACK TO LIFE...BACK TO REALITY!    

It seems that life is on a current 2x speed and the days are flying by faster and faster.  The kids were busy (a word I despise) with soccer, volleyball, cheer, church and more!  We tried to fit it all in and did an ok job of keeping our heads above water.  I joke that it will slow down in 11 years, but let's be real, I pray that we find time to move with more intention as we get closer to 2026 and seek to spend our time wisely.

In September, Kennewick Grandma celebrated her 70th birthday, so we took the crew on the road and headed East for a belated birthday celebration.



Dinner, Pumpkin Patch and More!









Back home from a whirlwind 24 hours and off to evening church and a new week!

Skating...yep, a fun Friday night with the HCA family.




Fun Run 2025 was American Ninja warrior and we all showed off our skills!






Rich got to go on the 1st grade field trip with Leighton and they lucked out with a non-muddy trip to the pumpkin patch!






Cheer and Spirit Stick on the nastiest day of the year!!!


Daddy and Leighton weekend at the cabin....



 
Hunting and Time with daddy!

Yes, we all spent Saturdays in the rain for cheer!!!



Griffin's biggest fans on the field!

While Rich and Leighton were away...the big kids and some friends got to see Phil Wickham in concert!  These bucket list nights are my favorite.


Late night Taco Bell....


and early morning Starbucks!!!

HCA Volleyball heads to cheer on the Huskies!




And then the baby was SEVEN.....I'm still not sure I can process this!

Build-a-bear with Grammy & Papa.

Morning with the birthday girl!

After school party with friends....








Afternoon with the cousins....

And Sunday celebrations riding a horse!  A magical 7th birthday for sure.










And then it was the BIG boys birthday!  More fun with the cousins.


Volleyball in full swing and Millie had an awesome season.  So fun to have her try something new.

CHEER time....





Wednesday nights at church.

And Wednesday nights with the little!

Time to CARVE...checking off the list of October fun!




TA-DAH!!!


And then we had a TEENAGER!!!!!

Fun with friends.





Followed by Trick or Treating with the family!



And the BIRTHDAY wish...dinner at Von's!




It's an honor to be their mom and be there for all the things!  May I never take for granted how truly special it is to be present for the good and the bad, the easy and the hard, the fun and the trying...ALL THE THINGS!!!  Bring on the season of gratefulness!
