Congratulations Reese Lamb Class of 2026

 Hey Friends,

Yesterday, we stopped by a special graduation party. Reese Lamb is a member of the class of 2026. It was great to celebrate her major accomplishment with her!

We are so proud of Reese! She is a precious young lady. We have watched her grow up. She has always been a fun girl. We love spending time with her!

Now, Reese is beautiful young lady with a heart for God! She is a walking miracle, and we are still praising God!

Graduating is an amazing milestone for Reese. I am excited to see what God has in store for this lovely lady! Reese, we love you dearly, and you are in our prayers!

Last night I went through some of my Reese photo memories. I have lots of them through the years. I found some gems to share with you. 

Thank you for reading.

Then And Now- Kolby And Ella Blaire

 Hey Friends,

Great to see you today. I love the memories of that pop up on my phone. They often trigger long scrolls down memory lane. 

Tuesday, I introduced our newest family member. You can read all about her arrival HERE.  We are still enamored with the precious princess!

My phone reminded me late last night of when I first met Ella Blaire’s big brother. Kolby Lee turned 2 on April 30th. 

I first met him in person two years ago today. Here is a picture from, June 4th 2024. 

He was just over a month old in that photo. Now he is a handsome bundle of energy! Mr. Kolby Lee has brought so much joy into our lives! We love him!

Almost 2 years to the day I met Miss Ella Blair. A lot happens in two years! We have lots of blessings to thank God for!

On June 4th 2026, Kolby is trying to get used to his new job as Big Brother, but I know he will be great at it! He will be an awesome bodyguard for his Little Sister!

We will have to revisit this day in two years and see the progressions at that time. 

See you tomorrow!

8 Years Of Thankfulness

 Hey Friends,

 I have been reflecting on a special memory. Today is a memorable date for me. 8 years ago today, my Beach Cottage home was deemed livable. 

That morning, the inspector came for a final inspection. I was immensely thrilled when Dad called me. I could move in. 

I did not yet own furniture, so we made a trip to Ikea. There, we picked up some furniture. My Aunt and Uncle loaned me some pieces. 

Once we returned home from Ikea, some of our family came to help me get situated. By bedtime, things were set up enough that I could stay in my house. 

I was thrilled to spend my first night in my home. I could hardly go to sleep. I was overcome with gratitude to be surrounded by my miracle of a home!

8 years later my gratitude has not waned! God saw the bigger picture when made my special a reality! I needed it more than I ever imagined!

Thank you dear God, for my blessing of a Beach Cottage!! 

See you later.

Sprinkle For Baby Girl Boggs

 Hey Friends,

The Boggs Family is growing this summer. My cousin Victor and his precious wife Emily are expecting a baby girl. 

Last Friday, we gathered with a handful of close family members. My cousin Lauren and Aunt Theresa organized a baby sprinkle to celebrate Emily and her baby girl.  We had a wonderful evening honoring and anticipating baby Boggs. 

Below are my pics and Lauren’s from the gathering. Lauren did a wonderful job planning and hosting the sprinkle. The theme was "A Cherry On Top."

We are excited to welcome another princess into our family!  I look forward to meeting her, she is due to arrive in July. Auntie O loves all of her babies!

Big Sister JoJo is so so excited to have a sister. Brothers Arlo and Theo will be great big brothers. 

Thank you for reading! See you tomorrow!
