We love you so much, Ashton, and know that God has great things in store for you. Look to Him...He is always faithful. 💙

Learning to Let You Go

It's hard to believe you're taller than me

Don't know when but it happened somehow

You're smiling at me when you ask for the keys

And I'm begging you, "Please, could you slow down?"

Growing up

Is hard to do

I know because

I'm growing up with you

You are gonna fly someday

But you will always have a home

You're learning how to make your own way

And I'm learning to let you go

You were never mine to keep

You were always just on loan

So have a little patience with me

'Cause I'm learning to let you go

When you were small, your problems were solved

With a hug and a kiss and a Band-Aid

But it's not easy now, and you'll figure it out

Though I wish I could save you from heartache

Growing up

Is hard to do

I know because

I'm growing up with you

You are gonna fly someday

But you will always have a home

You're learning how to make your own way

And I'm learning to let you go

You were never mine to keep

You were always just on loan

So have a little patience with me

'Cause I'm learning to let you go

I've gotta' be honest

This might be the hardest thing I've had to do

Feels like the future came too soon

Now I'm slowly letting go

You are gonna fly someday

But you will always have a home

You're learning how to make your own way

And I'm learning to let you go

You were never mine to keep

You were always just on loan

So have a little patience with me

'Cause I'm learning to let you go

Learning to let you go

I'm learning to let you go

Recently...

J and J have been enjoying track, and have placed first and second in numerous events at every meet so far. Their events include the mile, the 100 meter dash, hurdles, pole vault, high jump, and long jump.

We had Cheryl and London over for Easter dinner since the rest of the family was in Illinois.

Over the Easter weekend, some of us attended a play called Journey -  The Story of the Blood. It was amazing, and the cast and crew of 250 people did a phenomenal job! 

I've been baking in anticipation of Ashton's graduation party next month...

I started and finished the flooring in the upstairs of the barn in 2 days. Progress! 

We spent some time at Seth and Kate's. Tayla insisted that I wear her headband, and had to get a picture. Adrian read books to Yikealo. 🤣

The younger boys spent a day at Cheryl's.

Malia and I worked at a vendor market for Shana. It was super windy and cold!

I also helped Malia with a vendor market at Grounded, our local coffee shop.
