I'M THE SAME, EXCEPT WITH MY HEAD THOUGHTS.

🎇Happy Fourth of July! ➡️ swipe to see some of the shots it took for us to get to this mostly decent Gem. 😂 Also, Zander always has something on his face. So don’t judge us. 🥴 https://www.instagram.com/p/BzgaY4QDVzH/?igshid=7ejba8s25lp0

Three more of the keiki on our little getaway. It’s moments like these when I miss Hawaii the most. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzHxFsJjAhZ/?igshid=1xlt4e72qdxjp

The babies twin cousins on our staycation. Dipping their toes and staying cool. (Don’t worry about Azdens cheeks, he’s got some eczema). (at Poolside At Green Valley Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzHGmqFjc47/?igshid=1qkqhbkcgyyuv

This weekend we decided to have a little staycation. Thank you to everyone who helped make this weekend possible. We had a blast. The green valley ranch pool is the COOLEST ever. (at Poolside At Green Valley Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzGY5BwDS2f/?igshid=1wjew31yi3ppc

Sometimes you have to play hooky from ☀️summer school to have a pool day 🏊🏼‍♂️ https://www.instagram.com/p/By8ML-kjeAj/?igshid=n9gird6c86av

Azden had his first swim day! The water was still a little chilly. So at first, he was not about that life. But after he adjusted, he was ALL smiles. 😍 https://www.instagram.com/p/By76lxPDEaq/?igshid=1swqzbud1sz4j

Last night, Braedyn & I got to experience the championship basketball game between the Washington huskies & the Oregon ducks. All thanks to my moms boyfriend for getting us tickets so that Braedyn could have this experience. • • • I am so beyond blessed to have so many people in my children’s lives that LOVE them unconditionally & want to help nurture them in ways I cannot do alone. • • • Braedyn was SO excited. He chose his team he wanted to cheer for right when we got there (with no previous knowledge of them or basketball) & he chose the winning team! Go ducks! • • • • #oregonducksbasketball #oregonducks #marchmadness #tmobilearena #basketballtournament #basketball #tmobile #ourvillage #singlemom #boymom https://www.instagram.com/p/BvIAwV7hSIm/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1cxisscfecu70

Just because we are moms. Doesn’t mean we can’t do for ourselves. Take care of ourselves. Fill our cups up, so that we can fill our children’s cups up. • • • • • #brotherdate #dayout #nightwithoutthekids #kidfree #momscanhavefuntoo #takecareofyourself #greenvalleyranch #gvr #gambling #onthatgoodgood https://www.instagram.com/p/BvDtE1Hjbad/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zgpxgfsn5yxv

We tried out Rocco’s NY pizza & pasta last night! Was a little bit pricier than expected for the food, but it was good. I loved the lasagna I had. My brother thought the pizza was BANGIN. • • • • • #roccosnypizzalasvegas #pizza #pasta #family #foodblog #foodporn #food #lasagna (at Rocco's NY Pizza & Pasta) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu4XxjYBKv3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1k4cliyx2art4

3•9•2019 Braedyns first tee ball game. Opening ceremonies consisted of a parade of all the teams, league pictures, & their first game. They were SO adorable I was losing my mind. It wasn’t a real competition for the tee ballers & half the time when the kids were on the field they were fighting each other for the ball. 😂😂 They will learn! & eventually be set up for success. • • • • #practicemakesperfect #teeball #tball #lasvegasteeball #springvalleylittleleague #cubs #batterup #parade #openingceremony (at Desert Breeze Recreation Center) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bu0YVj2B7mN/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=k0jb2ynzpe4u

Dark circles. Terrible skin. Hair in shambles. A mother’s life. But I wouldn’t trade it for the world. My boys are my life. I love them with all that I can. I make mistakes. ALL the time. But as they grow & learn, I too am growing & learning. • • • • • #selfie #personal #lensflare #tiredmom #momlife #natural #nomakeup #iwokeuplikethis #yellowaesthetic https://www.instagram.com/p/BuzrCHlB16d/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=11abf1mm39qy9

Signed up for Hula Ministry at church last Sunday. Today was the first practice I attended. I was there for an hour & a half & was taught this much of the song. The other girls and boy have had two other practices prior. So I have A LOT of catching up to do. Trying to remember the order of operations. You can see by the look on my face how hard I’m thinking about what steps come next.😆 But I have to say, from where I started when I got there, to where I am right now. Is already a BIG difference. If I keep up with practice, I’ll be able to dance with them for show day! Not to mention, I haven’t dance hula since I was a little baby kid. Go me! • • • • • #danceforthelord #danceforjesus #hula #hulaministry #newhopelasvegas #kamehamehatrilogy #hulaforjesus #dance #practicemakesperfect https://www.instagram.com/p/BuvVRABhdTL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d9qapvexqswz
