Reece's First Beauty Walk

Over the weekend Reece was in her first beauty walk! Up until this school year, she was very shy and had no interest in them. Cue middle school and our girl has come out of her shell so much! I am shocked, honestly, at how many new friends she made right off the bat just because she is shy.

Back in the Fall when they released the date for the pageant Reece decided she wanted to do it! We went ahead and got her dress because we don't have many dress shops around here and wanted to get a good one! We ended up using a shop about an hour away. When we laid our eyes on this particular dress we both knew it had to be the one she wore! It was STUNNING!

Saturday was the big day and she and I fully enjoyed a day together getting her nails done and getting her hair and makeup done.

I'm still picking my jaw up from the floor at how beautiful she was/is! Sheesh. When we walked in our house after hair and makeup Brooks said, " WHOA Reece why are you so beautiful??" 😍 Griffin and Peyton were out of town for a soccer tournament. They made it just before crowning during intermission. I showed them a picture of her and they said, " uh hold up a minute here." 😂 I'm thankful they are protective of her!

She made the Top 10 and we are so proud of her!

Fall Family Pictures!

If you know me you know how I love taking family pictures at least once a year! This fall I almost didn't do them. I rallied myself and we had them done...SO THANKFUL I did!! Here are a few of my favs!

Oh hey!

April here, aka busy mom of 5! haha! Once again, I didn't mean to neglect this space but did. On a whim I decided that I want to try reallllly hard to update regularly on here so we shall see. My kids really like to look back at old posts so I'm doing this for them! #momlife

This will be a quick recap of the end of 2019 and then I hope to start weekly updates!

That sentence feels like accountability 😂

Here we go!

This was right after school started! We had made it through the first full week of school and celebrated with date night! Let's talk about how nice it is to have teens who can babysit! YAS!

Just a random cousin sleepover!

IDK what was going on this day but they sure are cute! School picture day, maybe?

Peyton played varsity football again! Since then he and Griffin both made the varsity soccer team so Mom is hoping Peyton doesn't play football anymore. 🙊

I coached Reece's cheer team this year! These girls have my heart!

We purchased Peyton's first car! This was back in the fall, he wasn't 16 until a week ago! We think it's important to get in some learning time before turning 16 so we try to purchase early!

Homecoming festivities!

We lost a member of our community on September 16th. I'm STILL very sad. Officer Cousette and Hubby used to work together. We saw him one week before he was killed. His kids go to school with ours. His celebration of life was very touching for me. I'll never forget it.
