MN United Soccer

Today we went to a Minnesota United soccer game. It was the first professional soccer game for all of us, and it did not disappoint! It was an extremely fun experience but the reason it will remain so memorable is because Lionel Messi was playing at the game. Kallen said it was one of his favorite days ever. Bonuses: Grandpa and Grandma were there with us, and Minnesota won four to one. 

Track and Field Day

Today was a momentous day, we had our last official track and field day. We have watched this event take place for the last nine years. Maddie ended it doing great with two first place and one third place ribbon. Very proud of her! 

Ladies’ Night

Tonight Nana, Elyse, and I headed over to Constance Free Church for the 16+ Ladies’ Night. The night consisted of eating amazing desserts, worship, and listening to an author/speaker talk about God’s grace. Grateful to spend my night with two of my favorite people. 

He is Risen

Today we celebrated my favorite holiday, Easter. Just love this day, it’s so simple but meaningful. We had our traditional Easter morning of church, Resurrection eggs, Bible story, opening our Easter biblical gifts, and eating our Easter meal. Today is a day where I reflect so much on His love and my blessings. 

He is Risen indeed! Happy Easter

Happy Anniversary

Today we celebrated our twentieth wedding anniversary. Nana and the kids did a great job surprising us with gifts, decorations, and a delicious cake. The weekend did not go as planned thanks to a sinus infection but we were still able to get away for a little to just focus on us and what the next twenty years has in store. Beyond grateful for him and our marriage. 

Happy Anniversary!

Legacy’s Art Show

Today Legacy had their annual art show where students display their artwork. Then judges go around and vote for a first, second, and third place for each grade. Ian earned second place for the fifth grade class for his hot air balloon golf cart. He did a great job and we were very proud.

Kallen Turns 13 Years Old

Today marked another first in our home. We officially have more teenagers than non-teenagers because Kallen turned 13 years old today.  Kallen may not look like a teenager yet since he prays daily for height, but he sure acts like a teenager often. Right now, I'd summarize him as responsible, outgoing, extroverted, compassionate, and loud. He still loves anything to do with friends, family, video games, and soccer. So grateful for him and love watching him have a desire to become more like God daily.  

Happy 13th Birthday Kallen - We love you!

Celebrating his thirteenth birthday took place last week. Kallen had a few of his closest guy friends over for a night of sports and video game playing. Today, he celebrated it at home with the meal of his choice, cake, and opening gifts.
