I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again—my love language is gift-giving! So I love creating events for y’all where I can give away extra gifts!
Friday Fave: spoiling customers
Author Archives: Jen
First day of deer camp at Ozzy’s Acres
My cousins Kevin and Greg invited Tom and Owen to go deer hunting. Tom hadn’t been hunting since we met (!) and he was very eager to go and take Owen for his first time. Ammunition for his old gun was exorbitantly expensive so he “had” to buy a new gun and everything!
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
Pre-cheer pizza party
Early morning Olive snuggles
And some afternoon Ivy licks.
Another nice November day.
Owen’s on the wall!
Seen while at one of Katie’s appointments.
Very cute idea from the Orthodontist
I was very confused to get something from the Orthodontist in Owen’s handwriting. But then I saw what it was. Too cute.
Why yes the housekeepers put those there for you.
And then a big sploot.
This is what happens on a warm November day.
Making Katie take a turn.
We are having the whole family here for Thanksgiving and need the kids’ rooms for guests, which means Katie’s room needed SERIOUS attention. Like more than just being cleaned up…because it smelled. So once it was picked up and cleaned out, we cleaned the carpets. I made her take a turn so she learns how much work it is and will hopefully (?) try to keep it clean. (Yeah I’m not holding my breath.) She was less than thrilled.
This is how many towels were in the kids rooms.
When Katie gets Snapchat on my phone.
What toy?
Y’all think I’m kidding?
This is normal behavior for Ivy.
I want to be this comfy when I’m sleeping.
I want them back, please.
One starts today and one finishes today!
Congratulations Owen!
Katie can only use Snapchat on my phone…so today we did some filters while waiting for the orthodontist. It’s making memories, right?
Not sure why she’s making this sound but it’s cute.
And then this…
It’s fall, y’all.
I love this tree in our front yard!
Two of my loves.
They’re so cute when they sleep
The boys went to the range
Tom bought a new rifle to take deer hunting so they went to the range to test it out.
Friday Fave: Nutty Bars
Y’all. Nutty bars might be my most favorite snacks from my youth. And they still taste mostly the same (unlike other things).
I have memories of these going back to elementary school. Friends of ours gave me a special Halloween treat bag every year that had one in it. Very rarely my mom would buy them as a special treat. We could buy them in the high school lunch line (this and a Mountain Dew was often my unhealthy lunch – for $1.05).
I generally forget about them for long periods of time, but then I’ll buy a big box and eat them all (though my kids help me now) in a short time span. We’ll be finishing our second box shortly!
Do you like a Little Debbie Nutty Bar?

October ’23 leaderboards!
Again with the touching.
Ivy MUST touch Olive at any opportunity.
And Ivy just being her weird self.
Halloween 2023
The kids are growing up—they each went trick or treating with friends in other neighborhoods.
Owen and friends are all going as Men in Black and Katie was going to be Barbie until the weather turned so now she’s Angel from Lilo & Stitch.

Katie’s officially a cheerleader!
Their first game was tonight! They looked pretty good! All the videos are from the balcony because fans are not allowed on the floor.
