I literally admire this kid SO much! And I had to give him his own little shout out post!🤗

Everyday he will surprise me with a new trick, word, or skill that I had no idea he could even do!🥲

One of my all time favorite things he does is when he gets super excited he clasps his hands together in his lap and tenses every muscle in his body….ugggghhh I love him so much!

Hi let me introduce you to my 16 year old…like why does she look so old 🫠

Hey December…we see you 😉🎄🎁

Thankful 💛

You can’t say you’re surprised…. 🦕🦖

Happy almost Halloween 🎃

I get scared a little bit when these two team up….😅

It’s parents vs. kids some days, and most of the time they win the fight hands down 👊🏻

Weird thinking about our last few weeks in this house are coming to a close. Excited for our new adventure but it’s still a lil bittersweet 🥹

You guys knew the pumpkin pictures were coming 🎃

Meet my two best friends…..
mini Taylor #1 + mini Taylor #2

Maybe she’s born with the sass. Maybe it’s the filter. We will never know…

5 YEARS BABE!

5 incredible, fun, kid filled, exhausting, hilarious, stressful, amazing, unforgettable 5 years of being married to you!💛🤗

Seriously can’t wait for 150 more anniversaries to celebrate with you!🥰

(And yes I know there are only 3 pics but we started the tradition a little late okay😅)

Today I was told to get out of the picture because she wanted it to be “just a pitcher for me Kolly no mommy” 🥲

Buuuut we got this picture + now I am fresh out of tootsie rolls because they are all in this girls stomach. Bribing at its best 🫠

Okay why does he look like he is six in this pic?🥲 STOP GROWING UP!!!!!!

Starting year 1 out of 14 ✏️🚌📚

This girl was all smiles walking into pre-school this morning + made me realize that my little girl isn’t so little anymore 🥹

A weeks worth of SO many memories! ( both high and low ha😅)

Kolly absolutely loved Disneyland and Ledger was a freaking CHAMP the whole time 👊🏻 We only had 2 major meltdowns, no injuries, and one potty accident, so I’m counting that as a win. 😋

Although, we had one day where Taylor stayed back at the hotel while we went to Disney cause he was sick and throwing up….and then Kolly got the same bug and was throwing up the day we came home (even had a puke incident in the plane so that was fun 👍🏻Delta may I suggest making bigger throw up bags? Thanks ha! 😅)

But overall it’s memories and vacations like these that make me realize how blessed and grateful I am to have such an amazing family!!!

Soooooo….. when should we plan our next one?😆😉

I hate sand more than life…but the amount of love these 2 kiddos have for it trumps all my hatred feelings!! 😂

been all “ Hakuna Matata“ vibes this trip ☀️

fourth of july round ✌🏻

ledge + bathing suit + water splashing in his face = a soaking wet, squishy, yummy, VERY happy baby ☀️💦🌊

One of my ALL-TIME fav holidays ❤️💙🤍 (swipe to see how our family has grown over the years 🥹)

Just a quick reminder to appreciate & cherish the things in life that ACTUALLY matter.

REALITY.

Instagram tends to only show the highest of highs, the joys, the happy moments, the best of the bests.

What we fail to see is that behind the screen everyone has hard days, no one is perfect, everyone’s kids have tantrums, no parent has all the answers, and reality is a mixture of BOTH the ups and downs.

So is this a picture perfect post where both my kids are smiling and cooperating? Clearly not!🙃 Ledger was NOT having it. But that’s okay and that’s life. And I’m just here to send a friendly reminder that you’re all doing amazing & stop comparing your lows to everyone’s highs ☺️

Name a better duo….I’ll wait 🤔

The word “mother” has so many meanings to me….

-friend
-hard worker
-role model
-chef
-maid
-pair of ears
-boss
-gentle
-loving
-teacher
-compassionate
-non stop
-hero
-incredible

Being a mom has been the greatest accomplishment of my life, and I am so lucky I have a mom who I can look up to as a role model of what the best mother looks like 💖

Happy Mother’s Day!🌷

I mean…shirts don’t lie 💁🏻‍♀️

Give me ALLL the painter outfits please🎨 (and don’t pretend like you don’t like them 😏)

ITS OFFICIAL…Kollyns has Tay’s camera smile & my right squinty eye. 😆🤎
