the J-team

11-5 Since the Taylor Swift tickets were so expensive I didn't get to go to the concert but a bunch of us ladies in the neighborhood took the girls to the movies to see it! We had a great time!  Kim, Stephanie, Emily, Sophie, Alexa, Julie, Me, Guliana,  Amanda, & Gabby 11-10 Kaleb has been asking me to take him to the thrift store for a while so tonight we went and went to the mall for dinner.   He bought a poker set Mamaw teaching them how to play.  😂😂 11-16 Josh got home today. Barrett missed him so much and just wanted to play.  Haha the poker set has become very popular.  The boys go down and play with Mr. Joe almost everyday.  I try and remind them that he's an adult and not one of their friends.  Lol Tonight we went to Bar J's on the houseboat for dinner.  It's great when the kids set at a different table than the adults and people...

I always forget how special NC is to me.  I have so many great memories here including falling in love with Josh! I'm so glad we decided to come for Thanksgiving, and have enjoyed the family time so much! I'm pretty sure this state will always have a piece of my heart.

I know I say it every year, with both kids, but how is he already 14?!  He has grown up so much this year, especially the last 6 months!  He's still very literal and direct, but his sense of humor has flourished so much! He still hates school but doesn't fight me about doing it that much anymore, so I'll take it.  He is taller than Josh now which is crazy! I think the last time we were at the Dr. He was 6 ft! I was always told that teenage boys eat you out of a house and home but he's always been so picky I didn't think he would ever get there, but I was WRONG!  When he eats it's like he has a bottomless pit! He still loves pepperoni pizza but prefers Hot Buffalo Wings with it now and loves a good cheeseburger. He has one of the biggest hearts I've ever seen and I'm so glad I get to be his mom! 💙 His day started with a huge Texas Donut, followed by cupcakes with friends for lunch, then Buffalo Wild Wings for dinner!  Good thing he got that new BMX bike ...

I guess the fall is wedding season now because we had 2 in 2 weekends.  Josh and I were able to celebrate Roman and Teresa's wedding with them and a lot of our neighbors! The day was beautiful and we love their family so much!  Josh left the next day for Nevada for 6 weeks and missed Steph and Kenny's annual birthday party! I love that we celebrate the grown ups birthdays with the kids!  Our BMX team planned a day to go to a new skate park and when we got there there was an event going on that none of us knew about so it was so crowded.  Jack doesn't have a park bike so he brought a skateboard and I was so proud of him for just getting out there and trying even though there were so many people.  He really is growing up!  Then he took his mountain bike out there and had fun with the other kids on bikes Kaleb On Oct 21st we had t...
