Goodness

The latest flowers from my love.

Every week, when he goes grocery shopping at Sam's, he brings me home flowers.

Puts them in a vase.

Waters them.

Arranges them.

And they are always SO stunning!!

These are like orange sorbet!!

Ryker's first scrimmage(s) was Saturday.

He is playing defensive end this year.

This is his first year playing that position.

Cooper has played that position throughout high school.

Ryker was struggling with fighting off holds.

He was frustrated.

I was frustrated, admittedly.

When Coop got home from work, I told him about it.

I asked him if he would please help Ryk.

He immediately went downstairs, grabbed some pads, and took Ryker outside.

It's these moments that literally remind me of goodness.

 

Family Dinner

Yesterday was August's family dinner.

Swimming and food.

Gigi gets exhausted.

I laid my head down at 6:00.

Hooooowwwwww do women my age have babies?!?!?!

Anywho, I sure love these humans!

 

Six Days a Week

Ryker's first scrimmage is tomorrow.

He has two of them.

Next week, he begins regular-season games.

Fundraiser #1 is done.

The boys have their screen-printed jerseys and pants.

The banner is being sewn and will be ready tomorrow.

The Heidi message has been sent to parents about how I will not tolerate negativity or toxicity on the sidelines or at practices or anywhere the boys are.

 

An article was written about the 6A high school teams.

Cooper was mentioned as a kiddo to watch.

I cut it and framed it.

I told him to put it in his room to always remind himself that he has everything he needs.

He been training for this senior year his whole life.

Now go live it to the fullest.

His first game of the season is tonight.

Burke will be there while I am at practice with Ryker.

GO Titans!

 

Kaydon is 24!

Gosh, I miss him.

I wish I was hugging him and celebrating with him today.

Kaydon was never supposed to make it to 24!

He was not expected to make it to three!

He's a fighter.

Stubborn.

Independent.

Hard-working.

Motivated.

He is healthy and strong.

He is smart.

Today, he is celebrating (I HOPE) in the Dominican Republic.

I hope that his wife and son are celebrating everything about him.

I hope that he knows how loved he is.

I hope that he knows how cherished he is!

 

Senior Year

Cooper's blue and white game was last Friday.

It's his senior year.

He just completed his last fall camp.

This was his last blue and white game.

Nine weeks.

He has nine weeks left.

I don't want to miss a thing.

 

Hendrix's Birthday Breakfast

Papa & I took Hendrix for his birthday breakfast on Sunday morning.

Heni is a wild man!

We only had two large spills (one orange juice and one chocolate milk).

He ate all of his "eggies" and the whipped cream off of his sprinkles pancakes.

We both got some snuggles!

Love this Muffin Man!

 

Mia & Braxton's Bridal Shower

We celebrated Braxton & Mia's upcoming wedding with a bridal shower on Saturday.

We had it in Nana's backyard.

I did the decorations and Nana did the food.

I think it turned out just fine!
