no phone january

At the start of the year, I discontinued all my social media 
(except for one small blog post about going to the national parks! )
I also did not take any photos of much. 
I was so sick of my phone!

I just needed a break from my phone and as my friend put it, 
"you only have so much bandwidth in your brain right now"

I was physically and mentally exhausted.
The break was just what I needed.

January moments...

I captured 3 of the 10 red heads that go to Canyon High School 
after Lucy's game :) 

We got rid of the jade green walls in our master bedroom!

Clay told me, "it's been a long time since I've shown you I love you" 
💗

Me and Chester shuttling around town for football and basketball games. We squeezed in lunch. He always tells me "thank you mom" for taking him to games. He told me how much he liked me there and that "I was a good mom"
You can see why I don't mind being a part of a crazy Saturday sports schedule :)

snapped Lucy trying to read Beowulf
hahaha

professional shots  of her playing preseason!

Wearing spirit wear to her games!

post game monkey hug :)

what I text my brother going through 27 daily radiation rounds to kill the cancer in his mouth 


The Tuesday after Kobe Bryant's death, we played Golden Valley and athletes stood linked arm in arm for a 24.8 second moment of silence. 
Representing his respective jersey numbers he wore for the Lakers.

last but not least, I snapped a couple of shots while playing at Magic Mountain with Marty.
 I'm 48, he's 60. 
Apparently still kids :)

He got me to go on rides that make me sick...


I'm still recovering!

January just feels like a year wrapped in a month. 

5 out of 7 days are filled with basketball. 
Crazy how that happened!
We love watching our children develop and take opportunities while being here. Who knew this was a super competitive basketball valley?
And here I just thought it's only offering was my childhood amusement park:)

Sports Mom Era

I think I saw this coming but maybe I didn't really see this coming:) I am a sports mom. Plain and simple. I had other hats too like library mom, classroom aid mom, costumes for musicals mom, outdoorsy hiking mom, musical mom, jazz band mom, tech crew mom, art mom, spring break mom, etc etc etc But sports mom has been a pretty big theme in my life:) So, in honor of my Dad's birthday today and his absolute love of sports, I share this to save the memoires.  Because one day, it will be just that, sweet and crazy sports mom era memories:) Okay, so I love JV games because the weather at 4pm in the Bay Area and even coast side was amazing last year. Tee shirt and jeans?

February 2019: Queen of Hearts

                                                                            💘 February is a mix of triumph over January and the heart filled cooler days until March. It's like the happy bridge to spring. But I live in a place right now where winter kind of feels  like a Colorado spring.  We even got snow the other day here! Turning a Nike shoe box into a valentine collector Chester's homemade class valentines :) Audrey's socks given to her by her sunday school teachers! She is kind of the queen of February On Valentine's day Chester's class was invited to make lunch and decorate at the Santa Clarita Valley food services for both elementary school districts. It was a big honor, only one class out of the 4 districts it services was chosen by lottery....
