Happy National Daughters Day to my Adie Rose 🤍

We’ve lived a lot of life together, this girl and me…and I truly don’t know what I’d do without her.

She’s sassy, funny, has a big heart, and keeps me on my toes. She’s my go to, my sounding board, and one of my very favorite people.

Thank God He chose me to be your mom. What a gift you are, Adie Rose. Love you more than you know.

Our Grady boy took his last walk a few nights ago. To say our hearts are heavy doesn’t begin to cover it. 💔

We knew this day would come. Little by little, we had already started losing pieces of you.

Your wet nose and warm pants at my bed every morning. Seeing you in the bay window when we came home, then jumping down to meet us at the door. Just so you know… we never got tired of seeing you there.

You always found us in the house, making sure you weren’t too far away. Your chin resting on the bay window. Your morning biscuit. The sound of a cheese wrapper. Knowing my tennis shoes meant a walk. And “your room” outside the laundry room where you could still keep an eye on us during dinner.

There are dogs… and then there are the ones who become part of your soul. Grady was our soul dog.

Your head hugs. Your eye squints. Your “golden glitter” everywhere. Your nose prints on the windows I’m not quite ready to wash away.

Seeing you in the work trucks with Wyatt and the boys. Running around while they worked. The excitement when your “kids” came home after being away far too long.

Ten years ago, someone was giving away a Golden Retriever. We had no idea what we were really being given.

We didn’t know how much joy you would bring us. How much Wyatt would need you throughout his cancer journey. Or how much we would need you when he was gone.

I’ll never forget you lying beside his bed after he passed, refusing to leave. You stayed there with him. And then you stayed there for all of us too.

You walked beside us through loss, grief, change, healing and beautiful ordinary days in between. You didn’t need to understand any of it. You just stayed close.

Dogs have a way of carrying pieces of our hearts when they’re too heavy for us to carry ourselves. Grady carried more of ours than we ever realized.

You asked for nothing and gave us everything. You were woven into our family, our memories, our hardest days and some of our very best ones.

Thank you for loving Wyatt.
Thank you for loving our kids.
Thank you for loving me.
And thank you for staying close when we needed you most.

We’re going to miss you, Grady boy. What I wouldn�

Happy birthday to our pancake-loving, gymnast-loving, piano-playing, never-a-dull-moment girl! 💛

It’s hard to believe you’re 10 already!

You keep us on our toes with the hilarious things that come out of your mouth, make us laugh every single day, and somehow make life brighter just by being you.

Thank you for being our light, our biggest smile, and one of life’s greatest gifts!

We love you more than all the pancakes in the world! Happy 10th birthday, sweet girl! 🎉🎂💕

Two days. A lot of Montana. A lot of memories.

Always love a night at the KettleHouse Amphitheater. A beautiful Montana night under the stars with Dierks Bentley and a few of my favorite people.

After an outdoor concert, the best concession nachos a girl could ask for, a couple of craft beers, a game of pool, even bar basketball (who knew?! 😂), and maybe even a tetanus shot…. the obvious next step was getting up the next morning to bike 15 miles on the Hiawatha Trail.

I may not have been my daughter’s favorite person that morning… 🤭🚴🍻 ⛰️

It was a little muddy, incredibly beautiful, and so much fun.

We packed a lot into a weekend, made a whole lot of memories, and I wouldn’t trade a single minute of it.

I love you Adie Rose… his little “Boo-Boos”. If love alone could have kept him here… he would have stayed forever.

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Today marks 5 years since cancer took my dad from us. And somehow, after all this time this year seems to be the hardest.

Being home again around the anniversary has brought back memories I didn’t realize were sitting so close to the surface. There are memories attached to every part of this place. I doesn’t matter how much time passes, some feelings just never really leave you.

I remember watching cancer slowly take pieces of him from us. Remember how unfair it felt watching someone so strong become so tired. I remember trying to memorize every tiny little detail because deep down I knew time was running out. Hanging onto every conversation, every smile, every little moment because I was terrified of the day those would be all I had left… but if losing him has taught me anything, it’s how fragile life really is. How quickly everything can change. How important it is to say the things you feel while you still can, to hold people a little longer, and to show up for people you love before it’s too late. Because one day, all you’ll ever wish for is one more conversation, one more hug, & one more ordinary moment you once took for granted.

The night he passed, I was the last person to say goodbye..🤍 and I truly believe he waited for me. I remember sitting there terrified of what was about to happen. I sang to him through tears, I held his hands, told him I loved him & that it was ok to let go even though that was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to say. And then I watched him take his last breath.

There are no words to explain what that moment felt like… it was so heartbreaking and so painfully beautiful all at once. The room felt so still. So sacred. So peaceful. And even though that memory hurts more than anything, there’s a part of me that will always be grateful I was there with him in his final moments.

I miss you so much and wish I could get one of your papa bear hugs… I love you daddy & I will never stop needing you, missing you, or loving you. 🤍

Today is five years since we said goodbye. Five years since life changed in a way you never really get used to.

And if there’s one thing grief has taught me, it’s that time doesn’t erase loss. It just changes the way you carry it.

Some days it feels impossibly heavy and leaves you questioning everything. Other days it feels like he’s still right here beside us and never really left at all. Every day looks different.

But the one constant is that I think of him. Every single day. Quietly.

Sometimes with a heavy heart asking him why he had to leave us here to figure it all out without him. Other times reminding him we’re doing okay. That we’re trying. That we still carry him with us in all the little things.

I think about his 20-year-old self when we first met. I think about how fiercely loyal he was to the people he loved. I think about how he always joked that he didn’t know what he wanted to be when he grew up… and if you knew Wyatt, you know there was nothing more true. He was a kid at heart in the best possible way.

Being a dad was his greatest joy. Secretly, I think it just gave him permission to not grow up… he was always full of life. He loved his family deeply. He was the glue.

And I feel him most in the everyday things — the ordinary moments where his absence is still so present.

I don’t think you ever stop missing someone you loved this deeply. You just learn to carry both the grief and the love at the same time.

Miss you always, Wyatt 🤍

Day two and we were definitely feeling it after Angels Landing 😅

So… no plans. And honestly, that was exactly what we needed.

Pool, a little pickleball, good food… just an easy, slow kind of day.

Grabbed a bite at the clubhouse (twice this week because it was that good ⛳️)

First time playing pickleball and my inner child came OUT!😂

Played tennis in high school and apparently it just lives in there somewhere… because it all came back real quick. Now I get the hype….I couldn’t get enough!

It was nothing crazy, just one of those days where you actually get to enjoy your life while you’re living it.

Feeling grateful… and also realize that you build your life from the little choices you make along the way and the moments that you decide to do things differently.

It doesn’t have to be perfect… just intentional:)

Little shifts… big life.

Today was simple, fun, and exactly what we needed. 💛

Day one of our mother-daughter trip to St.George, Utah and we went straight for it.

Angels Landing in Zion National Park.

Five failed permit attempts and we finally got one the afternoon before. Honestly, probably for the best. Anymore time and I might have talked myself out of it!

The views, the switchbacks, the nerves and memories…. A little scary and a lot worth it. Pretty perfect way to start our week.

Rewarded ourselves with Mexican, a margarita, and a sunset walk once we got back to St. George.

Best kind of day. 🤍
