Favorite picture:
Tessa making her “cowboy” face (I had the pleasure of being her horse with that jumprope around my neck).
Favorite kid quote:
Grace, after talking nonstop all day long: “I’m sorry I talk so much mom. I just have so many things in my mind that I need to say.”
Favorite clothing item:
I love the summery colors of this outfit. If I walk around barefoot all day (which is my preferred method) my feet are killing me by the end of the day. #oldpeopleproblems Usually I wear sneakers, but in the warmer months I don’t feel like having my feet confined all the time. My sister mentioned these Birkenstocks, and I love them! They have cushions in all the right places and are so lightweight. Perfect for walking around my house during the warmers months.
Favorite food:
Tis the season for asparagus hunting in the ditches of Iowa. Ben brings a batch home every day, and our favorite way to eat it is also the simplest: drizzled with extra virgin olive oil, sprinkled with salt and pepper, and roasted in the oven. Totally worth the stinky pee.
Favorite verse:
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Psalms 46:1 & 2
Favorite moment:
Grace has done so well with bike riding- she doesn’t miss those training wheels at all. She loves riding with Claire and Max, and I love hearing them encouraging her along the way.
Favorite mom meme: 
I’m actually totally cool with my kids being home but this made me laugh. Although I wouldn’t mind just a bit of quiet every now and then. 😉
Wishing you a very happy Mother’s Day weekend!
😂😂Tessa-that girl never disappoints. Love that chatty GiGi🥰. Claire and Max are so sweet encouraging Gigi as she rides beside them! Can’t wait for june❣️
Hope y’all are prepared for ALL the chatting. 😉
That is a wonderful verse. And my kids love to ride bikes too. I am actually looking for a mom bike so i can ride with them. Hope your weekend is wonderful!
I see a horse coming to your place soon! One girl taking lessons and one a cowgirl! Love to see the kids enjoy biking-does Grace keep the chatter up then too?!!
