Our Family Updates
This evening had all the holiday feels
This evening had all the holiday feels: A cozy little heated trailer playing Christmas music on the outside speakers, the crackling and warmth of a campfire, Christmas lights, snow on the ground, and the yummiest roast cooking in the Crockpot awaiting us inside. 👌

Major husband/wife stress meltdown
Yo! Major husband/wife stress meltdown happened the other day. A nasty fight and all. The stress got to us. Anyway, we got the ugly out on the table, looked at the mess we had just made, grabbed each other’s hand, and cleaned it up.
The kids and I are calling this our Christmas Cabin now.

Once their hands are cold, it’s game over.
When we go to the park nowadays, we spend a lot of time there. We don’t have anywhere else to be, so why not play for hours?!
Instagram vs. Reality: Christmas Tree Shopping
Went to the tree farm to pick out a tree with Kylan’s parents (for their house). Maverick is sick, the trees were all $70 (no matter the size!) so we took some pics, and left 😂
Thanksgiving shopping with Nona
This tired babe and I got to go Thanksgiving meal shopping with Nona this evening! I love you @lavbarnes. Can’t wait to celebrate thankfulness tomorrow!
We played, colored, read books, wrestled, did “school”, washed the dishes, ate food.
The kids and I stayed in our cozy little “home” all morning while Kylan worked at a nearby coffee shop today. It was raining outside and I offered to go on a walk to splash in puddles, but to my surprise, no one took me up on the offer.
Shoutout to the best oldest son a mom could ask for.
Shoutout to the best oldest son a mom could ask for. He helped me with the dishes last night saying, “mom, whenever you feel overwhelmed, you should ask for help!
back in our original neck of the woods
We’ve been back in our original neck of the woods for the last week and it has been so much fun! It’s weird being “home” with no house to go to.
Right when you think Idaho may not have much to offer, it delivers.

Dropping perfectionism like it’s hot. 😎
First time visiting Utah! Stayed in an Airbnb close to some amazing friends so we could stay up late visiting/eating cookies 😋, catch up on laundry, and Kylan could work work work.
Missing Pickleball Heaven rn
Last week was Pickleball heaven. The @usapickleballnationals is what brought us to Palm Springs, and we had a blast watching some of our favorite players out on championship court.
“This is the happiest I’ve ever been.” -Kylan Johnson
This is the happiest I’ve ever been too. Like consistently happy. Feels good. Thank you, Jesus.
Truck Problems #1
Kylan hitchhiked in the back of a construction truck to the nearest auto parts store, downloaded a YouTube vid his brother sent, skateboarded all the way back to us, fixed the problem, and we’re finally back on the road right before sunset!
Palm Springs was a blast.
Palm Springs was a blast. Thousand Trails RV resort, USA Pickleball National Championships, lots of swimming and relaxing. 👌💕 Now headed to the Grand Canyon. 😍🎉
The kids are growing - Another cheesy post, you’re welcome
We’ve been in Palm Springs at a @thousandtrails RV resort for the last week (we’ll be here for another 5 days). And it has been a blast! We’ve been swimming multiple times a day, doing crafts at the rec lodge, exploring Palm Springs, and attending the Pickleball National Championship.
Dude! This is my life! Who even cares?! Not me!
Earlier today, our trailer/house was messy, so frustration began to set in. Then I took a deep breath, walked outside, and thought, “dude! This is my life! Who even cares?! Not me!”
