Week 42

The week started off with a Wedding Planner Brunch at the Royal Palms Resort. My relationship with Royal Palms has always been one that I’ve truly treasured because I believe there’s a strong connection between couples who choose Royal Palms and those who choose my company—something about the history, the relaxed setting, and the high quality of service that pairs us together quite well.

A big week for my Emma Lou. It’s wild seeing my little girls grow into beautiful women right before my eyes. I also love when I get one-on-one time with my loves. Emma took some evening walks with me this week.

October felt faster and busier than I would have liked, but we still made sure to decorate. Even though we didn’t get to put in as much time as I would have liked, I’m glad we did what we could.

I love seeing Justin and the kids playing basketball at the park. All three kids love to play, and it’s so great that we have so many parks nearby—and even better that the temperatures are finally cooling down a bit.

Heartbreaking week for my Hannah girl, but the truth is I’ve never been more proud of her. She gave cheer tryouts everything she had and, unfortunately, didn’t make the team. I was shocked, as she practiced hard and looked very polished.

But when she read the news, she didn’t get mad and never said it wasn’t fair; rather, she immediately looked at the notes on how she could improve for next time.

Hannah is an example of beauty, grace, and patience, and I’m inspired by her.

After a bit of a nerve-wracking morning online, I finally landed two tickets for the upcoming No Doubt concert taking place at the new Sphere in Las Vegas. I just knew I had to buy these tickets—this is my favorite band of all time, and it’s very rare that they perform together anymore.

Plus, I’ve been wanting to experience a Sphere performance. Justin and I are set to go in May of next year, and we can’t wait.

Fun times at the Schnepf Farms Annual Pumpkin and Chili Party

Just a sweet Sunday spent with our crew. We went on a hayride, ventured through a corn maze, zipped lines, enjoyed some farm food, rode the “spooky train” at night, shot paint guns, went on some rides, and picked up some “Grandma Goes Nuts” on the way out.

I think we’ve attended a pumpkin patch of some kind each fall ever since the babies were born and Justin and I even visited a few times before the kiddos.

The kids in particular love Schnepf Farms.

Onbooard the “Spooky Train”… the kids love this ride, me not so much, Justin just laughs.

The night ended with paintball and fireworks. We closed the farm down having tons of fun with our little adventure crew.

Hunter’s basketball skills have improved so much, especially recently. It seems like all the skills are really starting to connect for him. We LOVE watching him play, it’s become one of our favorite Saturday rituals.
