Catching up on 2026

 And just like that, we’re already into 2026.  April to be exact. Since I’m a little behind on documenting things, this is my attempt to catch up—one photo at a time—on everything 2026 has brought so far.

back at it - Baseball season...Maddox has been crushing at the plate this season.  Two home runs so fa

Casey has had some health issues, so Liesel has been riding Jake.  He is a sweet boy with lots of experience.  It has been fun to see her grow as rider. It is always challenging learning a new horse.  She is doing great. 

While Liesel and Scott were at a horse show the boys and I popped over to NYC to check out the City and the Mets opener

These buildings, these views, this City!

We went with two other baseball families, the Hostermans and the Swartzs.  We all had so much fun!

Subway riding

One of the reasons we went to the opening game was to Skenes pitch....Well, the Mets got the better of him and he got pulled during the first inning.  A life lesson was learned, even the best have off days. 

Sometimes I can't believe how old he is looking.

Teenagers can sleep anywhere in any position. 

Just a fun photo from the couch.

Another baseball, another City (Scottsdale), another restaurant, more memories.  This is a special team with some incredible families!

When your big brother shows up!

Maddox had a great first year Pee Wee Hockey Season.  He played on B Gold, won two banners, learned to play physical, made some new friends, and played hard. 

Wrapping up 2025

The end of 2025 slipped by faster than I expected, in a blur of everyday moments and quiet highlights. This post is my way of slowing it down—just enough to look back before moving forward. A lot of fun was had, memories were made, and I didn’t want to miss the chance to document it all.

Milo's hockey journey has transitioned from Arvada Hockey to a series of Highschool leagues.  His Fall Team took first in their division. 

OMG!    We have a driver!!!

Liesel is still in love with Nebby

Cloth napkins,  I try to teach them to put their napkin on their lap.  They have different ideas. 

While visiting my parents the Aurora Boralis were visible.  So cool!

These two!

Maddox got to go to Rocker B Ranch for a tournament.  It was just him and Dad.  I was told it was the coolest baseball tournament EVER!

Maddox and his buddies....what can I say...he's the third

Christmas Morning

Obligatory Family Photo

We made it up to Glenwood to celebrate with Grammy and Grandpa.  We hit the slopes though there wasn't much snow.  We still had a good time

Since the snow conditions weren't good we bagged the second day of skiing and went to the Hot Springs.

Christmas Morning

I have to give this girl props.  Every morning she is up and feeding the horse before her brother's even make an appearance.
