Vanity

I walked into my bedroom last night after work to this gorgeous vanity!!

Me and my Facebook lives have been a work in progress.

Burke and Cooper made room for me downstairs with an old desk, then Kaydon moved back home.

We had to move some workout equipment into that spot, so I put all of my stuff back upstairs in our bathroom.

So Burke bought me this beauty.

I absolutely love the drawers and shelves and room and it's so pretty.

I also love Fridays.

A lot.

Life is so busy.

All the time.

Sometimes it can be overwhelming.

But it's also beautiful.

Also, Cooper made the track team!!!!!!!

 

Girlies

Yesterday was Papa and Gigi's half day.

I had my every-two-months hair appointment right after work.

When I got home, Papa had the girls!

Isis and Jackson were at Isis's appointment for Baby Girl.

Kehlani and I colored some donuts for her mama's shower.

I tried to hold Delilah, but Delilah isn't the biggest fan of Gigi.

She literally screams when I try to take her from Papa and then reaches for Papa immediately.

She wasn't feeling well and had a high fever due to teething.

But it's pretty normal that if Papa is there, that is who she wants.

So they took a nap.

When she woke up, Papa took Lani to run an errand.

I think he did that to kind of force Delilah to spend time with Gigi, which I was thankful for... once she stopped crying when he left.

She ate a waffle & some berries.

We crawled around on the floor and played with the dogs.

I even got a smile!!!!

Don't get me wrong, I am immensely and endlessly grateful that the grand babes love Papa.

I'm so grateful that he is who they want to be with.

Except when they cry when I hold them!!

This one, though.

Hendrix prefers Gigi and I eat it up!!

He loves pumpkin, too...

As you can see.

 

eLeVeN

Just like that, we have an eleven year old!!

Ryker is our football, baseball, basketball, kickball-loving Squirt.

He loves being an uncle to the babies.

He is such a loyal friend.

He is still my cuddle bug.

He makes sure he gets hugs in the morning and at night.

He is getting too tall - he's at my cheek bone now.

We love this boys so endlessly!!

 

Squish & Papa

Hudson and Papa.

Doing what Hudson and Papa do.

So long as he's touching Papa, he's a happy boy!!!

I told Mia how much I love their relationship.

It's the sweetest.

I DO clean my house.

It was rainy and gross outside and the dogs were tracking it everywhere.

So, don't look at the dirt - look at cute Squish just getting into everything!

Love this baby!

 

Not a Lap Dog

This dog, though.

Stella is NOT a lap dog.

Stella thinks she IS a lap dog.

She's big.

Heavy.

We have a chair in the family room.

It is definitely a single-person chair.

Not meant for non-lap dogs!

I was sitting in our single-person chair singlely!!

She thought I needed a lap dog.

This lasted for like an hour.

I couldn't move.

She was quite cozy, however.

In our single-person chair!

 

H.O.R.S.E.

Last night, Burke challenged Cooper and Ryker to a game of H.O.R.S.E.

As you do.

The weather has been unbelievably beautiful. 

So amazing.

It's all changing this weekend, so we took advantage of it!

Cooper won.

Per usual.

Happy weekend!!!

 

Good Morning, Sunshine

I was a very distracted driver this morning.

I could not get enough of the painting God was bringing forth for us this morning.

This sunrise was extravagant and I had to capture pictures...

Whilst driving.

Squish FaceTimed with Gigi yesterday.

He had A LOT to say.

He is quite busy crawling and dancing and talking and laughing and fake coughing.

He cracks himself up, then fake coughs.

I can't get enough of him.

Ryker turns 11 next week.

He's had a very old cell phone which works as an iPod.

He can text us and call us, when linked to our WiFi.

It's time for an update.

We need to be able to get in contact with him.

I was at the gym when he got home from school, and I wanted to be there when we gave him the phone.

Burke kept sending me pictures of him looking for his phone.

The girls were trying to be helpful, as you can see.

Finally, he started crying.

I hurried home and asked him if he wanted me to help him look for it.

Then Burke called his phone, which was sitting on top of his new phone.

He was so grateful, he cried.

Then I cried... as I do.

We were quite proud of ourselves for coming up with the surprise, minus him crying (that was not part of the plan!!)

 

My Weeds

I was awarded with a giveaway yesterday for my company.

It was really exciting for me, as I've completely recommitted to my fortune.

Note: I call my full-time job my "wages," and my Farmasi job my, "fortune."

I'm committed to all of it.

This was exciting for me!

Also, I sat in my weeds for the first time in 2024 yesterday!!!!!!!!!!

I have a new assistant.

She was asking Xavier if I was okay.

Ha ha ha ha.

He told her I was perfect... just sitting in my weeds.

The weather is so beautiful; supposed to snow Sunday.

But right now, we are focusing on beautiful!

 

Did I Post These?

Braxton and Mia had to get Squish a new, big-boy car seat because...

He's a BIG boy!

Nine months old.

Nine months of perfection.

 

Weekend Wrap-Up

Saturday was a bit lonely!!!

I'm so used to having grandbabies and kids and all the things.

It was just me

I meal-prepped for the week, washed all bedding, cleaned the house... did all the things.

Sunday, Aria and Hendrix came over with their parents.

Hendrix is a mama's boy, but loves his Gigi.

He looked like a little Irish leprocaun!

His red hair just gives him all the luck.

Braxton and Mia had to get Hudson a new car seat because he's so big!!

His little nine month self isn't so little anymore!

I'm back to doing "lives" again!

The area that Burke and Cooper set up for me is lit and ready to go and I'm so grateful for my little corner to do my work!
