20 years!!! Swipe to see how young we looked 20 years ago.

Sure love you . Life has not been easy, but we made a commitment 20 years ago, and we continue to work through the rough parts together.

Proud of the family and life we have worked hard to create. We make a great team.

I hope that these girls are best friends for life! Right now they are ages 7, 9 and 11. We try to tell them that friends will come and go, but your sisters will always be there.

"There is no better friend than a sister."

Are you best friends with your sister?

Crazy that we have been back a year from full-time traveling!

It has been a year of growth, new routines and many blessings. The kids have thrived back in school and reconnecting with friends. Our ranch and animals are growing and expanding. Although building a home is requiring more patience and $$$ than we anticipated.

We know that eventually, things will work out, and many lessons are being learned along the way.

We are currently trying to slow down summer. So let me know if you have any suggestions. Hope you are all enjoying some family time as well.

Happy 4th from our family to yours!

Feeling blessed even in the uncertainty, struggles and trials of life.

Jesus is real and he sacrificed and suffered for my every pain, sorrow, struggle and sadness. He is risen!

Happy Easter from our family to yours. May you see the beauty of this messy adventure we call life and remember to count your blessings and thank Jesus.

Ran away to St. George, Utah for one night. Just want to feel heat from the sun again. Everyone is ready for spring around here.

Tomorrow Blake turns 16, so we needed a little celebration.

Sending spring vibes from our family to yours. Spring, Easter and birthdays are a lot of fun things to look forward to.

Who is ready for spring? I think this year has been especially cold and snowy, so we are all looking forward to warmer Temps.

We have avoided winter for 2 years while traveled the country, so my kids did enjoy the first signs of winter and playing in the snow. But now we are all sick of it.

We are looking forward to chick, bees, calves, a garden, more eggs and ranch projects.

What are you looking forward to?

Sent Cassidy to her 100th day of school with 100 Junior Ranger badges.

Some of them are doubles, but after pinning them on, I was impressed with how many we earned in 2 years.

51 National Parks, National seashore, battle fields, historical sites, preserves, and parks.

We learned by experiencing these places firsthand. I will forever treasure all the places we were able to go and visit with our 6 kids.

Kids who visited 48 states and have never riden on an airplane!

You guys, I did not grow up doing any of this. I grew up in a ritzy beach town, going to cotillion and seeing the ocean from my high school.

But I am feeling so fulfilled learning how to become more self-sufficient, teaching my kids how to work hard and delayed gratification.

As a family, we are learning to "run with patience the race that is set before us." (Hebrews 12:1)

I pray for patience and persistence to keep at it when things get difficult for all of us. Remember, even small victories mean we are having success. We got this, bring on 2023!
