✨How it started vs how it’s going.🫯
🖍️📕🖍️📗🖍️📘🖍️🎥
These two have been in the gym since they were born.
It all started because I asked them at dinner we started talking about being creators and not just consumers. I asked them what they thought they could make. They had already started coding their own video games with Fern.
Logan said, how about a coloring book. 🖍️🖍️🖍️
📝So I started asking questions and writing down the answers. The two of them named every character, decided what animals they’d be, helped pick the moves, and chose who wears what. I did what I do best and made their creations come to life.
📕📗📘📙There are now four coloring books published on Amazon and soon Barnes and Noble online.
They have another themes 10 lined up. 🥴
🎥 They also did voices for the characters on YouTube!
Link is in the bio! 💪🏽

25 years ago. Every year I repost this photo I took. Around 15 miles from the towers in the city, you could always see them in the skyline. I hadn’t been in school that long but this morning was different.
I was explaining to our children this morning what happened this and why it drove me even more so to join the military and serve our country. It brought tears to my eyes. 25 years ago I still feel that day.
I will never forget and never regret my decision and to serve our country and protect our freedoms.
2,977 people and heroes lost their lives. ❤️
Evil men brought the evil her to our country.
War is not always the answer but it is an answer to evil.
I will always be ready to fight, to protect my family, and our freedom.
❤️🇺🇸

A bit late posting these, but life has been busy.
🥳 Lo turned 12 last month. 🥳 Every year I say it’s hard to believe, how it started and where she is today. I’m so thankful everyday she chose us. It’s only going to keep getting better. I love watching her grow and learn.

Happy 45th birthday to the love of my life, the boy I fell for in Rhode Island. Twenty-six years later, and you still make my heart skip a beat like it did back then. You’ve grown into this incredible man: strong, kind, and with that timeless smile. You carry the weight of our adventures with such grace. Here’s to many many more trips around the sun. 💖🎉 I love you. by @jess.fern1

I will never forget watching the first building burn.
I will never forget watching the second plane hit.
I will never forget watching the buildings collapse and praying that everyone got out.
I will never forget hearing on the radio and tv about the Pentagon and the plane in PA.
I will never forget about the ashes that settled in my room the next day.
I will never forget those feelings of, what can I do?
I will never forget the kindness everyone had for everyone after.
I may not wear a uniform anymore but I will always love our country.
❤️🤍💙
