Mother's day 2026

Claire surprised me on Mother's day by decorating and getting me flowers, a huge card, a balloon, and some gifts. I love this girl more than words can express and am so blessed that God chose me to be her mother!

Friend pics in May 2026

Love that Claire posted this collage about remembering where you came from and treasuring those who mean the most...I think the realization that she is soon to begin her final year of high school is starting to hit (all of us...)

May brings about end of year things like friend's choir concert and graduation parties...

and concerts with friends as well!

Summer swim has begun!

Happy Easter! Jesus is risen indeed!

We surprised Claire with a small Easter basket before heading to church. She was very happy to get multiple gift cards to places she frequents for food! We then went to church and enjoyed celebrating the rising of our Savior with a wonderful church service! We made a nice big meal and charged Claire with the task of making the dessert. She surprised us with some fancy rice krispie bars and some cute sugar cookie mini cupcakes with frosting and decoration. We are beyond blessed!

Valero Golf Open in San Antonio

I got Jeff and I tickets to the Valero Golf Open for an early 50th birthday present. He was definitely in his glory! We were to the shuttle parking early enough to get the first shuttle to the course, with all the vendors! Jeff didn't want to miss a moment! We had a nice day and got in about 5 hours before the rain came and the meet ended up getting canceled until the following day. Some of our friends even saw us on tv when they were watching it from home!
