Maeli has created a tradition of going against Ryan in the Super Bowl. With the addition of T-Swift, this year’s rivalry was epic!

It blows my mind that our baby is 8! Life is never boring when Camp is around. He loves to put on a show & is never afraid to march to the beat of his own drummer.

Camp doesn’t like cake so for his last few birthdays he has requested a bowl of candy instead of cake. When his friends at school told him that was weird, he just shrugged his shoulders & went on his way. I truly admire his confidence.

Camp loves In N Out & requested it for both lunch & dinner today. He is goofy & sweet & everything we needed to round out our family. We love you baby boy!

Cooley is 10

This cute guy turned 10 yesterday! Cooley is sweet, thoughtful & is always the first to jump up & be willing to help. He loves babies/toddlers & takes a slow & methodical approach to everything he does. He still loves Legos and has recently gotten sucked into the Harry Potter series with Milo.

Funny story about Cooley…A couple of nights ago we were talking about college at the dinner table. Cooley mentioned how excited he is to go to college one day. For the last several years Cooley has said that he wants to be a chef so we let him know that most chef’s go to culinary school instead of college. His eyes instantly welled up with tears as he sobbed that he wants to go to college. We let him know he can go to college no matter what he decides to to. 😂 Who knew this kid has such a love for higher education? Apparently we need to add “college” to his bday letterboard. 😂

Letter from God

Milo & Camp are playing baseball in the spring but Cooley has been hesitant to sign up because he hates striking out. We’ve spent the last few months trying to convince him to give it a try again. After weeks of agonizing over whether or not to play, Cooley decided he was going to pray about it.

We asked him the next day if he received an answer to his prayer and he said no. 10 minutes later the doorbell rings and there’s a note on our doorstep from God… (written by Camp)

“I want you to play baseball

By, God”

Side note: Cooley did decide to play baseball. God really does work in mysterious ways. 😂
