My 100th blog post marks the end of summer!

You read right...this is my 100th blog post! Are you impressed? Well, maybe not, but it seems fitting that my 100th post marks the official end of summer for me (the kids still have next week off).
It was a calm, beautiful summer filled with simple memories of time at home. No vacation this year, no major camps, just easy activities that kept the kids engaged, entertained and best of all, they are well rested.

Sometimes on Friday I'll do a "This Moment" post from Soulemama...www.soulemama.com.

{this moment} ~ A Friday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause, savor and remember. If you're inspired to do the same, leave a link to your 'moment' in the comments for all to find and see.

But since this post marked my 100th blog post and the end of summer, I'm going to break the rules and share multiple pictures of how we closed out the Summer of 2014!

Lorelei and daddy made a car for her dolls!

Puzzles...lots of puzzles!

Bailey's latest musical obsession. Yes, he wants to play the organ!
Of course, he already figured the whole thing out and is playing beautifully!

The last days spent at the pool...our favorite summer spot.

It was a glorious summer and although we are sad to see it end, we are all excited and ready for the new school year!! Lots of changes around here including this...

Bailey's starting high school!!!

Amazing but true, I have a ~~child,~~ young man starting high school. Four kids, three schools and six crazy schedules to keep track including mine and John's, should make for an interesting school year!!

We are looking forward to many more extraordinary moments...

Back-to-school 2024

I've been avoiding writing again. If I write about back-to-school, I must admit how hard things have been. My heart has been broken by the harsh reality that my children are grown up. Being a teacher during back-to-school is easy for me. I'm a pro at that. My ELA buddy teacher even told me I could do it in my sleep. But facing the challenges of parenting young adults making major life transitions pulls at my heartstrings. This school year, I only have two active students right now, and Bailey is in the works for a return to Texas Tech in the Spring semester. Lorelei started back first. She's a Senior! She had her first college visit at the beginning of August and most likely her last! She loved Texas State. This was followed by Senior pictures. We grabbed some sushi from our favorite restaurant after. Then it was Senior Sunrise and the first day of school for her. My first days back were great. I always enjoy reuniting with my team and We...

Chasing fireflies...Spring of 2024

In April, while in Austin, I was enchanted to see an abundance of fireflies in Savannah's backyard. It brought tears to my eyes, not only because I find fireflies (or lightning bugs as we called them in the Midwest) intriguing and nostalgic, but because it was so fitting for where the Boyen Bunch is in life right now. After several attempts of "chasing" these fireflies with my camera, I captured a picture of one bright one lit up. Nature imitates life. The milestones my kids are reaching this spring are life-changing! The idiom chasing fireflies means chasing dreams, moments, and experiences that are captivating and elusive. We have two graduates this year. Savannah graduated from UT and Jonas graduates today from Comm. Arts HS. The moments this spring are fleeting, just like the light of a firefly. Here one moment and gone the next... I have referred to May as Mayhem for years (not claiming the idea, just saying I've been using this term for a bit). I have many previ...

Enjoying the messiness...

I have two wonderful, crazy, and messy dogs. They bring joy, cuddles, laughs, and, well, you guessed it, messes. I have shredded rugs, window sills gnawed on, shoes with teeth marks, bare patches of dirt in the backyard, and muddy paw prints everywhere. Let's remember the people I live with, my teens and, the messiest in our family, my hubby. Not dirty messy, more like clutterbug. And I'm sure he's clutter-blind. Oh, he does his best with reminders, like when I remind him, "Don't forget, I like to eat at the kitchen table." Unfortunately, our breakfast room is on the way to the back door and patio, with a detached garage. John uses the table as a stopping point before putting things out in his garage. Yes, his garage. I stay out of there at all costs! What's my point? I feel a weird guilt almost daily over the normal messes of life in my house. I make my bed every morning around tiny messes in the corners of the room, where bags of donations have been ...
