✨ 10 months with our twin girls ✨

Maycie & Madelyn are officially 10 months old today and we truly don’t know how time is moving this fast. Our days start with snuggles and quickly turn into crawling, cruising, and exploring everything in sight.

They love being read to and sung to, copying our sounds, waving “hi,” and making their favorite “blahhh” noises during poopy diaper changes 😂 Maycie just learned how to clap 👏, and Madelyn now says “hi” and “bye-bye”—my heart can’t handle it.

They’re also deep into twin chaos: fingers in each other’s mouths, pulling each other down to get out of the way, and Madelyn constantly stealing Maycie’s binky. Little stinkers 😂

They’re letting go of the couch, balancing, and bravely attempting their first independent steps. They love food, cupboards, wrapping paper, and laughing nonstop with their big brothers.

We enjoy every second with them and can’t imagine life without these two. In just two months they’ll be ONE 😭💗

Nine months of double the love.

Crawling faster than we can catch them, opening every cupboard, pulling up on everything, and cruising around like little pros.

They love their food — sweet potatoes, turkey, mashed potatoes, avocados, corn, carrots, Cheerios, and teething crackers are their favorites. They make the funniest sounds, spitting, clicking their tongues, and babbling “dada, mama, papa, lala, and baba.”

They love being read to, sung to, tickled, and snuggled. Their laughter fills our home, and those big gummy smiles light up our days.

I don’t remember life before them — and I wouldn’t want to. They’ve changed everything in the most beautiful way. 🤍

✨🍄 A little testimony moment… 🍄✨
When I started learning the Word of Wisdom, I told God in prayer:

“I don’t understand why coffee matters… but if this is from You, I need a clear answer.”

And He gave me one.

So plainly that I couldn’t deny it:
“Replace your coffee with Cocoa Mojo. This is God.”

That moment changed everything.

I switched, and instantly felt this quiet, spiritual peace settle over my mornings — no jitters, no crash, just calm, steady energy and a clearer mind that actually feels open to the Spirit.

Now this little cup has become a reminder that:
• God does answer us
• Obedience brings clarity
• And His guidance shows up even in the small things

♥️♥️♥️

One day late…but the twins are officially EIGHT months old! 💗
(Maycie on the left, Madelyn on the right.)

I swear every month gets more fun. Their little personalities are shining through in everything they do. Both girls are sitting up on their own, pulling themselves up to stand, and already trying to walk like they have somewhere important to be. They play together, smile at each other from across the room, babble back and forth, and absolutely crack each other up like only twins can.

These girls can EAT. Their favorites right now are avocados, bananas, pears, pancakes, and eggs… although we found out Maycie is a tiny bit allergic to eggs, so those are on pause for now. They still love all the snuggles, all the kisses, and yes… they will happily pull your hair or grab your whole face with zero hesitation.

Maycie has started waving “hi” with her little hand, and both of them have their own funny little ways of getting our attention. Watching them figure out life together is honestly the sweetest thing I’ve ever experienced.

Our family is so blessed by these girls. I don’t know what we would ever do without them. 💕 Our little miracles, growing way too fast and filling this home with more joy than we ever imagined.

Lots of over here!

Happy Halloween from SpongeBob, Patrick, Gary the Snail, Plankton, and Fall Guys 💀👻🎃

The earrings said spooky, the shirt said pumpkin — I said why not 😏🧡 ☠️

There was a time I thought I could fix him.
I believed if I just loved harder, looked prettier, prayed longer — he’d change.
But addiction has a way of stealing not only the person you love, but the way you see yourself.
I lost pieces of me trying to save someone who didn’t want saving.
And in that darkness, I started to lose myself too.

But healing came — quietly, slowly — through surrender.
I let go of the need to be enough for someone else and learned to be whole for me.

Today, I am loved correctly.
God knew exactly what I needed all along. 💗

✨ Seven Months of Double the Love 💕

Our twin baby girls are 7 months old today! 🥹
It’s amazing how much love, laughter, and joy they’ve brought into our lives already.

💅 At first, we painted Maycie’s nails pink and Madelyn’s purple.
👂 Then we noticed a tiny mole on Maycie’s ear that Madelyn doesn’t have.
✨ And now, Maycie still has her earrings while Madelyn’s closed up.
I can even tell them apart by their cries now 💗

Madelyn is my sweet, gentle, loving soul 🤍
Maycie is my sassy, playful spark 💖
She’s always crawling over her sister or smiling from across the room — and they both light up when they see each other 🫶

They’re crawling everywhere, almost sitting up,
and obsessed with 🥞 pancakes, 🫐 blueberries, 🍉 watermelon, 🍓 strawberries, and teething crackers 😋

And my heart melts watching Ryder, Sawyer, and Yali love on them so much —
always helping when someone cries, handing me toys, and making their baby sisters laugh 💕

Life with twins means double the messes,
double the giggles,
and double the love.

Happy 7 months, my little miracles 💖💜
You are loved beyond words. 🌸
