Casual School Time




Homeschooling has its great moments and it’s not so great moments. Motivation is a little harder at home because often it has to come from within. Great training for the real world. Here Jumba is either antagonizing or incentivizing Twin Adorable as she works through her math he is “rewarding her/or punishing her with a big brother kiss on the cheek!”  I love the sibling time on Monday mornings.

Another Soccer Game and More Fans

Our games are so much fun.  We have all kinds of friends that come to cheer the twins on.  The girls love the attention.

Miss Brenda came to cheer them on.

Sugar and Sticks also came along to watch the game.

Seeing Family

J was traveling for work and ended up in town with his sister Erica. He had dinner with them and then took them for ice cream. Poor J hates all the travel he has to do with his job but every now and then he likes some of the perks. This time the perk was that he was able to spend time with this beautiful family. Those kiddos are adorable.

Princess Brings Friend to Game


Princess brought a co-worker to help cheer the kiddos on. I love that my kiddos share their siblings with their friends and their friends with their siblings.

Coaches Bagel, Dad, and Jumba.


These two are so loved, everyone wants to watch them.

Lindenwood Family Mass

Mass at Lindenwood.








Sugar wanted us to get over to Lindenwood for Mass. It was an important day for Lindenwood.  Sugar's friends also made sure they had some flowers to send home with the kids. I love that Sugar wants us to be a part of her 

Love For the Locals Trade show For Mom

I was so excited for this official trade show. I loved setting up the tables and sharing the nails with all those that wanted to see. I didn't sell much but it felt so good to be out there, sharing about the product.

My babies are not really babies anymore.  Sometimes I just have to enjoy the cuddles.  One of them suggested we get a picture, so here we are!  I love this two so very much.

Official Public Announcement

These two made a huge announcement today.  They are so cute in how shared the news.  


Pooker, 

"Just having our Sunday coffee together.

Y’all, we are overjoyed to share that God has blessed us with our first child. We didn’t want to wait until we had ultrasound pictures because we’re just so excited and no matter what we’re so blessed to be able to partake in the creation of life. We are almost through week 7 and are looking forward to our ultrasound appointment on Friday. 

Pray for our growing family and all who are trying to conceive and grow their families. 

đŸ’™"This R Family brew is due late April 2020!"





I love how Pooker words things. She is insightful and good with her words.  
Pooker:  
"Missing my crazy, loud, messy family a lot this past week.  đŸ’” If you didn’t know I’m the oldest of 11 and the joys of big sisterhood have continued on and reached an entirely new level with getting to share the news of their new aunt/unclehood to this gang. 

It was truly God’s timing with this little one as we were all in town together at mom and dad’s when Austin and I found out. We wanted to share in person because we knew it would mean so much more. (We apologize to extended family for not getting more visits in that trip. I was pretty exhausted.) 

We told the twins (my youngest sisters) first because we wanted their drawing skills (like we had for the engagement announcement) and they were happy to oblige.  đŸ’™We called Austin’s parents that night and his mom knew before I could even tell her.  

My wonderful husband is number 7 out of a family of 12. We got home to houston and spent the following day on the phone with each of his siblings and shared the news. They’ve all been aunts and uncles for a while now, but they took the news so joyfully. This baby is so freaking loved.  "đŸ’™"
~FaceBook 9/22


We can't even begin to tell you how excited we are!  This baby is so loved!

Another Call With Goobers




The kids miss Goobers so much! FaceTime calls with her are often captured to be remembered. She brings so much joy to all of us!  

First Game

We had lots of practices and now it came down to our first game. Ironically to J, we would be playing St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, the team J had played for growing up.  Now with ICD, we were hoping our girls would beat the SEAS team.   



Nanny and Gramps came to cheer the twins on.

This ended up being a great family time. 

Siblings cheering each other on, then onto Chick Fil A for IceCream to celebrate a well fought game. The girls played well and pulled out a win. 


Go ICD!
