Sunday sweetness...

So, Sundays often are full of busy and not of the rest they are suppose to be...today proved to be no different. Most of our day was spent outside working on the back patio. Actually at this moment I am swinging on our new porch swing, listening to our new wind chimes and feeling the cool spring breeze.

The evening brought about dinner, followed by loads of laundry. Before baths... Haircuts times 5!!! (John included on that one). In haste, I left the kitchen dishes to be done after I got the littlest ones to bed. Normally I lay with them for a bit (more for me than them!). Tonight, I told Jonas and Lorelei I would be right back, I was going to do the kitchen super fast. When I finished, I returned to find my two sweeties asleep and holding hands. What wonderful way to end my busy, full day!

 Happy Sunday...this week is sure to bring big things.  My sweet Lorelei...my baby turns 5 on Thursday, May 3.  So bittersweet...Birthdy post to come.  Plus I owe you all a Look back at our fabulous Spring!  We've done so much and I need to share all the wonderful things the Boyen Bunch have been up to!


This was a light laundry Sunday...plus one load is still in the dryer! Notice haircutting kit on the table!
The girls spent most of the afternoon on the porch!

Sweetness!

Feeling a little salty...

  It may not look like I'm feeling a little salty in this picture, but  I was. It's June, and summer vacation had just started. All the chaos of May had me feeling a little tired, and I was experiencing what I thought was mild back pain from sciatica. I had noticed a few spots on my back and leg that looked like bug bites. Savannah was over, and we were about to head out to the pool when she noticed a crazy rash on my leg. She FaceTimed my mom, who said it looks like shingles?!?! John didn't agree and thought there was no way. Savannah insisted I go to urgent care. What do you know...I did have shingles. As soon as I mentioned how busy my month had been, that I was a teacher, had a Senior graduating, etc. The doctor said stress is one of the biggest causes of shingles. I was lucky this sweet girl of mine made me go get checked out. I was able to start meds and caught it early.  I did not have time for shingles! Hence the saltiness. That same week was Lorelei's high scho...

Roaring 20s~Boyen Bunch Style!

Is it just me, or were your 20s the best time in your life? The things I did in my 20s were memorable, adventurous, and not too crazy, but life-changing.   Here's my 20's list of accomplishments: I graduated from college with a BAE and an M.Ed.  I got my first real job (and three more teaching jobs to follow). I got married. We had the best time exploring the world together.  I moved more times than I can count, from Florida to Denver, to Houston, to finally settling and buying our first house in San Antonio. I was active: biking, hiking, snowboarding, playing tennis, and more. I made so many meaningful friendships and connections. I had not one but two kids! I had both Bailey and Savannah in my 20s!  I sure squeezed a lot into that decade. Looking back now, I cherish those years. But you know what maybe even a little more fun? Reliving your 20s at 50+ with your young adult kids.  Savannah has been living it up! She got a job she loves, her own place, and many g...

The days are long...

...but the years are short. I've always loved the saying. One of my favorite authors and podcasters, Gretchen Rubin, is credited as the original author of this quote. I always think about it when another year passes. This year was fast and furious, as I have found all the years to be since my kids became teenagers. It seems like every time I turn around, there's another graduation, major milestone, or life achievement by one of my kids. 2024 had a high school graduation, college graduation, three moves from home to college, from college back to town, from across town, back to home. And the dust hasn't completely settled yet. Gretchen Rubin has another saying now that her kids are grown. Instead of an empty nest, she calls it an "Open Door." I love that too. My door will always be open to my kids and their friends, as it seems like there's always an extra somebody at our house too. It's one of my favorite times.  Thanksgiving break brought some new friends ...
