Let’s Be Friends!

We went to Austin this past weekend for a volleyball tournament. My family joined us and it was awesome seeing my nieces and their babies! It was awesome having my favorite people all there there to support Andi and Andi played so well! We brought Oli and he got to find some cool skate parks in Austin. The little kids stayed back with my friend Kim who came in a pinch bc my father in law had a procedure. Lily went to the Ryan House. For 3 nights in a row Andrew, Oli and I sat in the rooftop hot tub and it might have been my favorite thing we did. Sadly we got a call Saturday night that Lily wasn’t well and we had to take her home. (For the safety of the kids there she couldn’t be there sick) We couldn’t understand how unwell she really was and Grandma Cheryl pulled off a miracle with some help from friends and brought her home. I changed my flight and got home by 8am on Sunday and felt sick the whole time regretting leaving. Not knowing how sick she was and why is it so hard to balance the world of typical kids and one with such special needs. Might even felt a little sorry for myself and worried sick about Lily. When I laid eyes on her I knew she was ok. Just regular sick. Not hospital sick. The 1st time in over 5 years 😅 I’ve spent the last few days just cuddling her on the couch and I’m happy to report she is nearly back to herself. Happy she is well. Sad I had to miss the last day of Andi’s tournament. It is what it is. It just is what it is. #specialneedsmom

Not sure why this information doesn’t just stay locked in. #specialneedsmom #disability #wheelchair #fitmom

Just a friendly note to say hey 👋🏼 I feel like a bear slowly coming out of hibernation and rubbing my eyes and saying what did I miss? I was down for a couple weeks and I mean down. Literally, physically, figuratively, emotionally .. down. I had a minor knee surgery Jan 3rd (because why not hit that deductible days in a new year after Christmas 👊🏼)

Andi “helped” Bella with her 100 days of school project. I’ll be in the other room watching tv if you need me. #agegap #sisters #kids #project #pintrest

Guys! Swipe for an embarrassing before and after. And stay here for an embarrassing picture of me with drool all over my shirt 🥴 but I had to share what a great experience I had at @ww.whitersmiles.gilbert.az! I whitened my teeth in my 20’s and was in pain for days and never did it again! Like scarred for life! So when We Whiten reached out I was like you swear it’s pain free and they were like yes! I hesitantly gave it a shot on Monday afternoon and I am I giddy with the results! I had so much discoloration from coffee and braces and I feel like I can show off my smile post braces now that they are white! You guys know I’m not an influencer- I HAVE DROOL on my shirt - so I’m not sharing this to get anything except share this really is a great product! I have a $20 off coupon for a 60 or 90 min treatment. I did the 90 min treatment - just dm me for it bc it’s hard to link here. They are located in the cute new shops on power and Williams field in Gilbert 💎 love your drooly bright smiling friend #teethwhitening #wewhiten #brightsmile #postbraces

Burn boot camps 5 year denim and diamonds bash! Not gonna lie one of my most favorite nights ever! I didn’t take a single picture so thanks everyone for sharing with me 💙 who knew you could still hang on the dance floor 4 days after knee surgery 🥴🤭however shorty did not get low #burnbootcamp #burnbootcampsouthchandler #mypeople
