Oreo Icebox Pie or Cake?

Brian asked for this Oreo Pie a couple weeks ago so I had to deliver. The girls "helped" me and could barely keep their little hands out of the Oreos. That's the problem with ordering those darn things, the minute they came in the grocery delivery, I had to fight everyone off so they would be left for the pie!! Also lied and told Emmy it was a cake cause she hates pie. Babies be silly.

Mahjong with Mah Babes

Can we talk about how fun it is to play Mahjong with your kids? The fact that Emily will sit there and play and not dump the table over if she doesn't win is reason enough for me to love it. It's so precious. They want to play every single day. They love to cheers, they live for the bird bam and lemonade. Its so fun!

Last Day of School 2026!

Last day of school for these plaid wearing cuties! They were so excited to leave school behind and start the summer. Especially since usually the last day of school means you go home right after promotion ceremonies. This year, only for Kate. Emily actually chose to stay at school with her friends for the rest of the day! Doesn't hurt that she's obsessed with her teacher.

My 40th Birthday!

My 40th birthday was on a Saturday this year. So I went to work on Friday, I work with a bunch of men, not thinking anything would happen. Actually I had zero thoughts that it would even be a thing. Went into a meeting and came out to this. Actually, let me back that up. At the end of the meeting, they played a song and a slideshow that had been made entirely from AI of me and getting older... and the photos were terrifying.

We made a trip down to El Dorado in April for an annual crawfish boil. My parents and brother go every year but this was our first. Actually, let me back up, the girls have been before! But they had so much fun, they actually picked up the crawfish. And we had a great time eating them :)
