Spring Happened...

And I never wrote a single blog to document it!!  I really need to make this blog writing more of a habit.  But if you will bear with me and don't mind a long post...I'll catch you up!
Let's start!
~Spring break...We did a variety of things, like breakfast out, park trips, firestation visits, two Texas hill country adventures (Boerne and Fredricksburg) and of course just resting!


All collages were made with a great iPhone app called Pic Collage!
~Spring field trips- Both Jonas and Lorelei had field trips to Fiesta Farms.  I took off both days to spend with them at the farm.  They both loved it!  My 1st graders had a field trip Enchanted Springs Ranch in Boerne!  It was great!




~I never posted any Easter photos so here's a few pictures. It was a lovely day. Church at St.Francis and lunch at Nana's and Papa's with an Easter Egg hunt of course!




~We took two camping trips this spring, both very different.  The first collage was of our trip to Concan, Texas to Riverbend campground on the Frio River.  It was rustic and beautiful.  We camped in a tent!  We loved every minute of it.  Our second trip was to Jellystone at Canyon Lake.  Definitely more commercial.  We stayed in a cabin because it rained all week and there was suppose to be a thunderstorm the first night we were there (and there was!).  It was Mother's Day weekend.  We did have a very nice time, but preferred camping in the tent at the more rustic and natural setting of Riverbend.

~We had lots of school events like: Orchestra concerts for Bailey (1st chair viola!), choir performances for Savannah, Tea Parties and pre-school graduation for Lorelei, A kindergarten program for Jonas and even a neat Poetry hour with my 1st graders!
 
~Then of course we can't forget the every day moments like train rides at Breckenridge, pretend play at home, swimming, back porch swinging, and those precious sleeping moments I can't get enough of!

It was a fun, memory filled Spring!  Summer is in full swing now.  And I hope to keep the blog going with more updates and events from the Boyen Bunch!!

Less is more...

less stress less work less talking less people pleasing less saying yes less social media less noise less chaos less guilt And most importantly... less explaining myself And unfortunately, it seems I have made less time for writing and blogging, which makes me feel like I need to explain myself! 😂 This year my word of the year is "l ess" . I've written this blog for 13 years now. Social media was just getting started. I started the blog, not to overly share my life, but as a way to document it like a baby book or photo album would. Now everyone shares their life story (and then some) on social media. I've told myself I would be doing "less" of that this year. I love sharing stories about my kids, my family, and my adventures in life, but I want to do more here, and less on social media.  But as I was focusing on the less in life, I stepped away from here for a bit longer than planned. It is my reflective space, where I can gather my thoughts an

Motherhood...

    Mother's Day, 2023~Reflections from a Mommy blogger And sometimes it seems like the manual is missing important chapters and sections I need! I have learned a lot and done my best over these years to be there for my children in every way possible. My four children are so different and unique that mothering them has never left a dull moment. They have each presented joys and challenges to me. I can with 100% confidence say the greatest accomplishment of my life has been raising four amazing children to teens and young adulthood. They have made me stronger and wiser in so many ways. Lorelei helped me earn a Mommy MD with all of her unique medical issues and showed me what grace and gratitude look likes like in tough situations. Jonas has schooled me in subjects, academics, and philosophy well beyond my interest. Savannah has shown me what true joy and drive can accomplish in life in just a short time. Bailey has shared a love and gift of music with me,  pushing me to improve my o

T'was the night before 50...

  Yikes! I can't believe I turn the big 5-0 tomorrow. I'm going into my 50s brighter, stronger, and feistier than ever. I am ready to take on whatever life throws at me and excited for the upcoming adventures of this year.  2023 is already off to a strong start. There hasn't been too much going on other than school, diving, and a few too many hospital visits this month. We had a workday for our first day back after Winter break. The girls brought me lunch and stole me away from work,  just a wee bit early.  Jandro moved up to Austin with Savannah this month. So far, so good! I love when "Scientist Savannah" sends me pictures from the lab! Her Spring semester is off and running.   Lorelei had two major dive meets this month, including Districts. I love how she gives it her all still, no matter how difficult it may be for her.  Proud parents! After John saw this picture, he promptly trimmed his beard.  Her district teammates are all so supportive of each other, even
