Me & My Guy
Me & My Guy
Steve and I have been together for thirty three years and have been blissfully married for twenty nine of them. We met when I was babysitting for his brother. True story! Two weeks after our first date, I left for college. Four years and countless long-distance calls later, we were married. That was just the beginning of our story.
Our Firstborn - Madison Marie
Our Firstborn - Madison Marie
Madison is our oldest child. She is twenty-four and an absolutely beautiful soul. She puts her love of fashion, makeup, and people to use every day at her very own bridal boutique, Madison Marie Bridal! Madison also loves tea, reading, and traveling. She and her amazing husband Nicolas have traveled all over Europe, including spending time in his beautiful homeland of Denmark. Together, these two young people are working hard and making a beautiful life for themselves here while incorporating many of the Danish traditions he holds dear.
Our Second Born - Peyton Rose
Our Second Born - Peyton Rose
Peyton is the kindest, sweetest twenty-year-old you will ever meet. She loves to cook, bake, and can run this entire household while also working with Madison at the store. She excelled at school, in fact, she graduated a year early and is also a best friend to Flynn. Peyton recently met her person in Christopher when he was playing the violin at mass, and the two are literally a match made in Heaven. They recently became engaged, and are both so very happy.
Our Son - Rhett Stephen
Our Son - Rhett Stephen
Rhett, our only son, is eighteen and the sweetest soul ever. He always looks out for everyone and brings joy to everyone he meets. Rhett makes all of us laugh every single day! He loves music, movies, Reese Peanut Butter Cups, and The Houston Rockets. He recently graduated from high school and is excited to begin working with Steve in the family business. He also loves to bring me Nachos Bellegrande with pico de gallo and guacamole from Taco Bell.
Our Baby - Flynn Grace
Our Baby - Flynn Grace
Flynn is our blessing from God. She is eleven years old and the joy of all our lives. Flynn loves music, especially One Direction, video games, homeschool, playing outside, playing guitar, watching soccer, especially her favorite team Barcelona, archery, Legos, taking pictures of Legos, making memes, and white milk. She enjoys being home with her mom and loves nothing more than being with her whole family. Flynn will help anyone who asks, and is a pro video game player! She keeps up with all of us and reminds us to enjoy the things that keep us young. She was a gift to me at forty years of age, and I am thankful for her every single day.
Our Pups - Kirby & Mocha
Our Pups - Kirby & Mocha
Kirby is our twelve-year-old Lhasapoo. He is practically human and waits all day for Steve to come home. Peyton is his favorite human, and he loves Kraft cheese singles. The tiny, sweet pup is my Mocha. She is a five-year-old Yorkiepoo and is my literal shadow. She loves snuggling with me, looking for me, and sharing my last sip of coffee. Some say she barks too much. I'm not so sure that's true.

Nice blog. pretty pictures. Loving this time of year, although autumn is my favorite also. Am schooling daily with boys on Facetime=hoping they get to return in Florida in August. of course, grand girl, home schooled, works all summer, as her sisters did--they are hoping to return to university in August for senior year and sophomore year. Day 94 for me-they continue to get my groceries, etc. I am hoping others are careful, so this thing stays where it should be-not increasing so much...prayers to you and family...love love your blog. Hope you are writing.
ReplyDeleteAm tutoring a little girl on Facetime whose mom wants her to work all summer also. love these students.
ReplyDeleteI love this post. You always read the most interesting things. I am reading a book I downloaded yesterday can Nomadland about people who live in their RVs. So far it is really interesting and not what I would have expected, since many of these people are otherwise homeless because they can't afford a house or apartment so they travel the country looking for temporary work. Eye opening. We are enjoying summer here. Since we have had snow and cold temps so late in the year, I can wait for fall. Have a good week, my friend!
ReplyDeleteAll of that looks wonderful, I can't wait for Fall also. The humidity here in AL is already terrible. I am so thankful that I am enjoying my first summer home with my kiddos as a stay at home mom.
ReplyDeleteThis is my happy season right now. Your lake view is gorgeous and I can see how you'd love it in the fall as well. Hope you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWe had people over yesterday for a little party to celebrate Ben making his First Communion. So that was enjoyable! Also really enjoying sitting on my front porch sipping peach-mango crystal light. So yummy! Hope you have a great week!
ReplyDeleteOur local strawberries are ready to pick! I love autumn, but oh dear, the summery weather this week in central NY state is absolutely gorgeous. Low humidity, sunshine...it's just precious. I could get used to it.

Enjoyed your pictures and I am enjoying not having such terrible back pain after the epidural yesterday.
ReplyDeleteI'm eagerly awaiting Autumn too! That book looks interesting. Enjoy the rest of the week.
ReplyDeleteWaiting for normal times here, ready to get back to the good 'ole days:) Strawberries, lake life and colorful leaves... so much to enjoy and look forward to. HUGS!
ReplyDeleteOh, I'm waiting for Autumn too, Billie Jo. Such a lovely Autumn picture, and I can feel and smell the crisp cool air in your photo. Your spaghetti looks delicious, and with seasoned bread, even better. I've also wanted to try that "hint" drink.
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of the week, Billie Jo.
