and don’t forget it ✂️

Getting to be Karsyn & Xa’s mama is the greatest privilege of my life

Watching them grow, love each other, learn, laugh, and become who they are is sweeter than I could’ve imagined 🤍

Motherhood has stretched me, softened me, humbled me, and filled my heart in ways I never knew were possible. Karsyn & Xa, thank you for making me your mama. I love this little life of ours more than words could ever say ✨

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible moms out there doing the hard, holy work every single day. 💐

Four years of our girl, KARSYN SUNDAY 💖

This year was extra special - not just because you turned four, but because it was your first full year as a big sister…and you are the very best to Xa. The way you love him, care for him, and light up around him is something I’ll never forget. Watching your bond grow has been pure magic.

You’ve grown in every way - your first gymnastics showcase, your first dance class, your first day of preschool (almost done with K3… how?!). You are so smart, so creative, and your memory amazes me daily. And the fact you’re casually practicing Spanish like it’s no big deal?!

This was the year you fell in love with Disney - and I mean obsessed. You talk about it every day and already can’t wait to go back. Seeing that magic through your eyes is something I’ll hold onto forever.

From plays and performances to beach days, Great Wolf Lodge, volunteering, and your very first fashion show…you truly live like a real-life princess. Most days in a dress, twirling through life and creating your own fairytale.

You have ballet, tap, gymnastics and swim every week - and thrive in all of it. You love being busy, but still stay outside until the street lights come on…riding bikes & scooters, picking flowers, and just being the happiest little girl.

And somehow, at four, you carry yourself like you’re seven 😂

Karsyn, you are everything we dreamed of and more. Our real-life Rapunzel.

Happy 4th birthday to our perfect girl 🤍

they look like their mama, but act like their daddy 💁🏼‍♀️

Spring Break Part 2: Birmingham 🤍✨

A quick little escape to Homewood and honestly… Karsyn was in her element. Give this girl a hotel room and she is thriving.

We shopped, found the cutest coffee spots, did a proper brunch, and had the dreamiest dinner at Automatic Seafood and Oysters (10/10, still thinking about it).

Somewhere in between, she spotted an Anna dress, changed immediately, and gave us a full performance like the main character she is 🥹✨

Safe to say… she was not ready to go home and has officially declared this “the best spring break ever.” And honestly, same.

Spring Break Part 1, but make it ✨core memory✨ at Great Wolf Lodge 🐺💦

Karsyn’s second trip but her first time doing ALL the things… and she absolutely ate it up. Slides, splashing, crafting, mining for jewels, little yogi moments… basically her dream lineup and we were just along for the ride 🥹

And honestly? Mom & Dad had the best time too. We howled, we swam, we rode the slides, we ate way too good… the full experience.

She’s already planning next year 🤍

He is risen ✝️🤍

My little blessings, surrounded by His goodness.

Praying they always know the depth of His love, walk in His grace, and carry His light wherever they go. My greatest calling will always be raising them to know Him.

Happy Easter from our little family 💐🤍✨

Karsyn’s very first fashion show 💕
A few weeks ago, while we were shopping at Dillard’s, she was invited to be part of it - and today she had the best time. She smiled, twirled, curtsied, and showed off the outfit she picked out and got fitted for all by herself. 🥹
She did SO good and we are beyond proud of her. And according to Karsyn, the best part of all… she got to take the dress home 💗✨
She’s already asking when she gets to do it again.
