Hatch

Wouldn't you rather wake up to chirping birds and a Malibu sunrise versus an iphone tune that you will grow to hate forever? Or fall asleep to the sounds of a campfire and the sunset? In an effort to improve my sleep I asked for the "Hatch Restore" for my birthday. I've tried it out for a couple nights and I do think it helps instill consistency with a night time routine. I am so hopeful this translates into more restful nights too!

Here's a picture of the eerie red color which is also quite soothing at bed time.  the Hatch is all controlled via your phone (bluetooth) which there are pros/cons to for sure.

Treehouse Patio

Check out this private patio at our SoCo hotel-- we had it all to ourselves and the weather was perfect! Let me know if you're looking for Treehouse kind of vibes :)

I had a great weekend celebrating my birthday! It got off to a rough start with us having to change travel plans because Ross wasn’t feeling well… but it all worked out. I got a day in Austin with my mom followed by a couple with Ross. So much good food and drinks while finding zen and positive vibes :). Austin is such a fun city and enjoyed seeing my old longhorn stomping grounds.

BB Gun

 Paige practiced her shooting with the BB gun. Dad is teaching some strong gun safety rules to the girls and this Mommy is thankful for that! 

"Mommy I shooted that cactus so good!" :)

Katniss X2

 These girls are working on their archery skills! The bow and arrow is one of the rare "tools" that can be used by leftys and rightys, important because we have one girl with each hand dominance. Golf clubs for example, do not work for both. Neither do softball gloves :)

Can we talk about how much of struggle it is for P to pull the bow back? :) Next year, boy she'll be ready!

Storm Season

Well that storm turned into a lot more of a wind event than a rain event for much of Houston. We lost power at 5AM and didn’t get it back till noon or so. we’ve been trying to up our hurricane readiness game since the freeze event earlier this year and we learned some more things today.  But in the short term we need to get a new back fence, which blew over last night. Hoping for a better night sleep tonight!

New Brownies!

 Claire has been a Daisy Girl Scout for 2 years and she just became a Brownie Girl Scout. We had a cute little bridging ceremony for all the girls at the park. Oh and brownies were eaten :)

Courtney

Flew to Nashville for special cousin time in Cadiz, Kentucky to celebrate a very special gal! It sure has been a complicated journey due to the pandemic, but next month is THE month we will celebrate the new Lawsons and we are all thrilled. Claire and Paige have been a'practicing their flower girl petal throwing :)

Can you see the resemblance? Cousin sisters!

The best.

Story of Ross’s life— He’s all serious trying to drive around the ranch hunting, but his girl crew got a laugh attack because Ava wanted to sit on the already crowded bench with us. We didn’t find the monster axis but sometimes that’s ok. :) totally blurry pics but you get the vibes.

Matching cuties

Such a great way to kick off the day. I mean mis-matched socks so they could match perfectly? All before I got out of bed, so I can’t even take credit- it was all their idea. 

Can you tell they have a donut hole stuffed in those cheeks?
