Life with Jess

Being a stepmom means loving a child not because you have to, but because your heart chose to — and watching our oldest graduate college, start his first job, and move away from home has filled our heart with so much pride. ❤️

It’s been such a privilege to watch him grow into the hardworking, kind, and capable young man he is today. From school days and milestones to all the little moments in between, seeing him reach this chapter is incredibly special.

As hard as it is knowing he’s moving away and starting a new life of his own, we are so excited for everything ahead of him. This is what all the hard work was for — spreading your wings, chasing your dreams, and building a future you can be proud of.

No matter where life takes you, know you are deeply loved and always have people cheering you on back home. We are so proud of you and all you’ve accomplished. 🎓✨

Mother’s Day at the ballpark 💙⚾️💙

Baseball mom mode: ON ⚾️💙
Snacks packed, car loaded full of baseball necessities and heading out for another weekend at the ballfield. Early mornings, long days, dirty uniforms, and memories we’ll never forget. Wouldn’t trade this life for anything.

Against every obstacle, every setback, and every doubt, you kept going. Saturday your proving that determination, resilience, and hard work can overcome any challenge.

This journey may have looked different for you, but your strength and perseverance made this achievement even more meaningful.

Congratulations on earning your degree and showing the world that limits do not define potential. The future is yours. 🎓💙

Friday nights hit different under the lights. ⚾️✨
The sound of the bats, the dirt on the cleats, the crowd cheering, and watching the boys play the game they love. High school baseball nights are made of small town memories, big dreams, and moments we’ll never forget. 💜⚾️💛

Left the field last night in sunset lights and arrived to the field for the sunrise… ⚾️🌅 Chasing it all over again.

This life is early mornings, late nights, and a whole lot of love for the game. 💙⚾️💙

Some kids play the game… and some kids fall in love with it. 💙⚾️💙

At just 7 years old, he’s found his place behind the plate — geared up, focused, and ready. Every pitch, every attempted block, every throw. You can see it in his eyes and his smile, this is more than just a game to him.

The dirt and the gear, he embraces it all. Catcher isn’t just a position, it’s a mindset, and he’s already learning what it means to lead, to hustle, and to love every second of it.

This is where it starts — the passion, the confidence, the dreams. And we’re just getting started. 💙⚾️💙

Standing where big dreams begin ⚾️

A boy with dirt on his shoes, a heart full of passion, a love of the game, and eyes locked on something bigger than today. These are the moments that matter, the quiet ones where goals start to feel real and dreams don’t seem so far away.

Keep showing up. Keep believing. Keep chasing it, one step, one swing, one game at a time.

The field is big… but so are your dreams. 💙
