This square can’t say “us” enough. #thisguy

The things we do for 7th graders... #drake #kikidoyouloveme #cardib

Date night. Honestly, it takes place every 2 months. We’re retrospective and an honest kinda sparkly about our boys. It always ends in a forever feeling about who we are, but it’s always a “how we doin” kinda date. Our conversations concentrate on what needs our attention and re-direction + what’s really working for our family.

Sometimes sweet spots happen with my boys. It’s typically when there is no hidden drive to the conversation. It’s just a boy and me together. The boy direct our words. It’s these times that I gather up and stuff in my bucket of motherhood. They’re like huge, chunky stars I’ll never do anything but polish for the rest of my life. Tonight, it was a rarity, but both boys were in an absolute happy rhythm together directing conversations with our family of four while playing Kan Jam. I don’t want to forget Eli’s jovial, lanky self picking on me as we played all while giving me little hugs and happy notes of encouragement. Casey’s fierce drive to win, but his giddiness to punch silly jokes back and forth. Afterwards, our boys carried on conversation with us as we did absolutely nothing but sit and chat. This middle we call our now is tricky. Scarce are the harmonious times. Few & far between do we find our common ground with our family of four. Teen years aren’t for the faint of heart. But huge, chunky stars can still be harvested. I think the best time for bucket stuffing comes when you simply set aside expectations and carve out your time. 🌟🌟#parenting #lifeisbiginthelittle #cobbleboys #thankful

Small pellets filled with paint. Let’s put them in a weapon powered by a CO2 tank and then fire them at one another under time constraints and fictional scenarios. Yup, that’s just what we did. This Mama’s body is covered in bruises and red welps. We’re off to a great fall break!

Tomorrow, Eli & Casey’s teachers wake up when they wanna. No alarms for 9 whole days. Thankful for how much they pour into a job they love. A little cinnamon roll send off made for the perfect start to my Fall Break! #parenting #teachersworkhard #teacherdeservehigherpay

This lens. This is the lane I wanna stay in with our boys. I am NO expert at this parenting gig, but what I can testify to is that growing a human increases with complexity as your child ages. Your life ebbs & flows in a constant trade out of “next steps”. It’s like GO FISH for the rest of your life. Looking for the exact pair only to have to wait and wait and wait. Parenting is process. I want to remember that it’s not about perfection; it’s about humanity. #cobbleboys ❤️

I’ve done a few intentional photo ops over the years. Same 1st Christmas picture (Eli-8 months | Casey-11 months). Same Lion sweater outfit (Eli-6 months | Casey 9 months). Same shirt for their 6th grade picture (Eli-2016 | Casey-2018). Looking back and looking ahead...I think that’s called motherhood. #cobbleboys #lifeisbiginthelittle

Goodness, work feels good when you hang with this crew. #redhouserules #coultergrove

One sentence that tells others who you are. The sentence should be what others feel & know to be true about you when you’re around them. He wrote this a year and a half ago. His legacy makes our family stronger. #elig #heartofgold

I love how the Lord uses humans to remind us to just love. Don’t angle. Don’t gauge or leverage. Just meet people with a vulnerable hope and help them if you can. I also think God had Mother Teresa in his ICE contact list. Her words make me feel real and thankful to be the hands and feet. #wordsareworthit

Took this young man to get his sports physical the other day. He asked to fill out all the paper work and pay. “This is my appointment, Mom. I can take care of this.” These teen years are like stretching. You concentrate on the extend and then rest with the relax. Deep breathes in and long exhales out. You just never know when which posture will be needed. Either way, I’m thankful for the movements. #elig #heartofgold #lifeisbiginthelittle
