Back to focus… on improving my (all natural) self. I’m in competition with no one. It’s about becoming my best me. Always 🥰 This is Level 51. 🔥😘 by @the_msnicole

What can I say about this guy? Jer, I wanted to put SO many pictures on here, but I knew you might not find them as cute, so I just chose some of us together. I’m proud of who you’re becoming and how you’re chasing your dreams, but most of all how you’re seeking God. Keep doing that and I know He will make your paths straight. You’ve OFTEN been my travel companion, lunch date, Tropical smoothie Buddy, and even for a long time my workout partner. This song just spoke to me tonight because a shift occurred with all your other siblings’ relationships at a certain age too, where they became not just my kids but also my friends…and I think we’ve reached that milestone too. Not that you won’t always need me to be mom…but that goes without saying. I’ll always be there. I love you so much “JerBear” and I know you’re going to continue to do so many great things. In your 20th year, you started your clothing line, and I can’t wait to see what this 21st year brings you Bubby! Keep crushing your goals! HAPPY BIRTHDAY @trimreaperj by @the_msnicole

Happy National Dog Day to Kylo & Bucket! I love these spoiled boys so much ❤️😍🥰 by @the_msnicole

This little guy right here. This is Bucket. People always ask “Bucket? How did he get that name?” and I explain that he comes from a big basketball family. He’s tiny but has a mighty personality. I always said I would NEVER have (what I call) a “groomable” dog…meaning a small dog. From everything I’ve ever known, small dogs are a LOT. Keeping them groomed, they get stinkier, but that’s not even the half of it. They have this tenacity (sometimes aggression if unchecked) that I’m just not used to with my lab. On June 27th of 2025, I got a call from a friend that said he could no longer have his dog and didn’t know what to do. I could tell it was hard for him. And because of circumstances surrounding it, the person who had him for a while could no longer keep him. I knew I was to take him, prayed about it and almost immediately I knew. I was determined to give him the best life I could. He changed our life for sure, but immediately became part of our family and I could tell he felt safe and loved. People asked me “does Kylo do ok with him?” because after witnessing Bucket, they knew he wasn’t an easy one 🥴. I would tell them that it was only because of Kylo that I knew it would be okay. Kylo is finally realizing he’s not going anywhere and honestly, I think Bucket’s grown on him. From being terrified of our elevator (and basically everything at first) to walking around like he owns the place, he has come a long way. June 27 was when I got the call last year and I met him on June 28th to welcome him to my home. My son @daveyjones_lobster was VERY instrumental in helping to acclimate him and train him, because he’s really good with dogs. There were times he’d shake his head at me and say “this little Bucket you brought in” and stuff like that, because Bucket was difficult and a LOT of work. But it was soon that you could tell how fond they even were of each other. Bucket wouldn’t leave my side when I had Covid last year (and still rarely does lol). Anyway, I missed his “gotcha day” last month because of how crazy busy my life was and I was dealing with some of my own adjustments, but I wanted to take a moment to celebrate this guy, the one I never knew I needed. by @the_msnicole

What an amazing wknd w friends (and one of my daughters) making memories to last a lifetime. I hadn’t laughed (or danced) that hard in so long. Out here really living life and having fun doing it. #grateful #weekendfun #myfacehurts #endlesslaughs #livinglife by @the_msnicole

This picture comes with a story! This is the photo I used one basketball season because EVERYBODY and their brother used to give Jer candy at each sporting event all year long. I mean, this kid could get in line at the concession stand and he would have people handing him dollars! Since nobody else ever knew what sugar he had already eaten but chose to give him more candy anyway, I got fed up and one day I made a flyer. I was concerned about childhood diabetes (since he had just had a little friend diagnosed) and not wanting him to get cavities, etc. Anyway, they posted it at the front doors of the school AND at the concession stands. The flyer that showed this picture also read:

“See this kid? No matter how cute you may think he is or what he may ask you for, don't give him any candy...Because his mom said so!”

Needless to say, Jeremiah was so mad at me and he was going around trying to convince people it was "just a joke" lol. Some of the other moms were cracking up, telling me the stories of what he was saying to them as he made his way around. Man, I love this kid😜 by @the_msnicole

Bringing in the New Year with the bestie… @holly_rebecca76 by @the_msnicole

Happy Birthday to this bright light in my life! I’m grateful that you’ve been a part of our family the past few years.

I appreciate the way you’ve always been encouragement and support for me…one of my biggest cheerleaders for sure, always building me up. Love you so much!
