Haven’t posted much about our summer mainly because it has been a busy one. I wish I could collaborate June and July but the truth is they both flew by so fast I feel like I’ve almost forgotten everything! 🤪🙈😂
Quick recap on July!
• 4th of July fun • swimming • golfing
• Basketball tournaments (which felt like every weekend!) 🏀🤪
• HS volleyball summer camp! 🩷🏐
• Jalyn’s Birthday and Bachelorette Party in Austin!! We dubbed it
• Froese fam vacay kickoff dinner! 🍽️🍻
• Froese fam vacay to Cancun, Mexico!! So much fun, but, that was one long week! 🫣🤣
• And, to end the month, I went in for my colostomy reversal surgery!! ❤️‍🩹
To say the month was full of activities, would be an understatement! But, it brought me lots of joy and happiness to boot!!

This was year #10 our favorite guests, Jason and Val, joined us on one of the most fun weekends of the year!! 🤗
This year the guys finished in the $$! 3rd place in their flight! Whoop! Whoop!
Another wonderful time was had by all!!
Until next year, we will see ya again in 2024!! ⛳️

🏐 ＮＥＷ ＨＡＰＰＥＮＩＮＧＳ 🏐

A month ago, I resigned as Inman’s Junior High head volleyball coach only to take on a new position!! I am now the new Head Volleyball Coach at Inman High!! 🤗🏐

This is exciting in so many ways! I’ve had the pleasure of coaching all these same girls in junior high and now I get to coach them again!! I’ve already developed relationships with these amazing kids and I so look forward to coaching them at a different level!
Exciting times are ahead!
Thanks to everyone who has been so supportive in this next endeavor of mine!🫶🏼🏐🧡🖤

⛳️ ＴＨＥ ＲＯＳＳ ＷＩＬＳＯＮ ⛳️

The oh-so-fun couples tournament! 😜 #
Format: Alternate shot. If that doesn’t test the ole marriage, I don’t know what does?!?! 😂😂 I kid, I kid. But, seriously, for two competitive coaches, that’s not far from the truth! 😂😂
We’re never really in contention to place, EVER, but, we did turn out 8th out of 24 teams so I’ll take it! Especially with two “blow up” holes! 🙈😂
If anything, shouldn’t we have at least win “best dressed”?! 😉
Fun times, for sure!!
Until, next year!! ✌🏼⛳️

🍰 ＯＯＰＳ! Ｉ ＤＩＤ ＩＴ ＡＧＡＩＮ! 🍰

I had the pleasure of making the cake for my niece and nephew’s Couples Baby Shower! 🩷 All I was told that anything pink and gold will be fine! 🥰
I was very pleased with how this Cake Board turned out!! 🩷
I am so excited to meet Baby girl Swartz!! Pallie and Bryan are going to be great parents!!
Bring on July, baby girl!! 💕

⚾️ ＳＯＰＨＯＭＯＲＥ ＳＥＡＳＯＮ ⚾️

And, just like that, the season is over. 🥺⚾️
First year as a baseball mom and I couldn’t be more proud of this kid’s growth! 🥰💪🏼
His improvement from the first game to the last was fun to watch!
Thank you to Coach Mik for his guidance in making him a better player. And, we couldn’t have asked for a better group of Seniors for him to play with his first year out!
Congrats on a great season Teutons! Proud of you! 🙌🏼⚾️🧡🖤

Hope all you mamas had a wonderful day celebrating YOU!
My day was pretty darn amazing! 🥰
It started off with Brody running in and grabbing us all a McDonald’s breakfast! I mean a good ol sausage egg & cheese McGriddle really hit the spot! We all enjoyed and watched church from home. Ran into Mac to visit and deliver flowers to Grandma Huber and tell her HMD! 💐🩷
Then we got home to find Payton made it back from MHK and we ate a late lunch at Chilis! The plan was to hit the Dunes and play golf but we wanted the rain more so once the rain was over we hit up Hutch Putt for a “friendly, non competitive” (yeah right!) family game of putt putt! 🫣😂 Then we stopped into Subway to get dinner and visit TJ and stopped in Main Street Pizza for dessert to see Brody!! Sadly, boys had to work on Mother’s Day or else this would have been a perfect day! 😔
We ended the evening at home opening up my presents. They know me well, already prepping me for volleyball season! 😉🏐 And, watching Air and let me tell you, that is a great movie. If you don’t believe MJ is the G.O.A.T after that, you crazy! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂🤷🏼‍♀️

My family is my world. God sure has blessed me more than I deserve! ❤️
It was a fantastic Mother’s Day for this gal!! 🤗

If you made it this far, thank you for letting me share my day with you! 🫶🏼

🍰 ＫＲＩＳＴＩ’Ｓ ＣＡＫＥＳ 🍰

So, here’s the thing, I baked. I know, I know. That’s not new news. But, It’s been awhile. Took time away once I was diagnosed in February 2022 and I’ve been missing it since. It’s therapeutic for me. And, it’s fun! Plus, I’m not too bad at it either! 😉
This one was special. We hosted an engagement party for Jalyn and Keaton last night, and of course, you gotta have a dessert. So, when I asked them what they wanted, J wanted my chocolate peanut butter cake and Keats wanted wedding cake, so, like any mom would do, I appeased them both!!
The wedding cake I shot for a lavender ombré for these KSU alums. 💜 Swipe to see the inside!
It felt good to be back at it again!!

👫🏼 ＴＪ ａｎｄ ＫＡＭ 👫🏼

These two! Their friendship has been a blessing to watch grow! I have several pics of them when they were little! And, they are gonna love that I shared one! 🫣 Ya gotta scroll to see it! 🥹🥰
As they get older and soon will be off on their own, I hope they will always be great friends!
TJ and Kambrey, you two looked absolutely amazing! Handsome and Beautiful in one pic! 🤩
This is such a great group of friends, too! They’re all fun to be around!
Hope Prom 2023 was all you wanted it to be!! You all looked fantastic!! 😍

The “littles” attended their first prom last night! It’s hard to believe how fast they’re growing up! They both clean up pretty nice!! Brody went with the fellas, while TJ took a beautiful friend!! *see next post as it deserves a post of its own! 😉
So much fun seeing all these kids dressed up and ready to have fun!

⚾️ вaѕeвall ⓜⓞⓜ ＬＩＦＥ ⚾️

Yep. That’s me. Trying to become a baseball mama! Ha! Those who know me, know that I am out of my element here! Give me basketball and volleyball all day every day, but, baseball?? 🤔 Yikes! Brett nor I never played baseball or softball so we are a little clueless. However, Brody is loving it and doing pretty well, and we love him so now we love it too! Well, starting to like it anyway! 😉
So, I’d you see me buying sunflower seeds and Twizzlers and ball caps, mind ya business, I’m trying to become a baseball mom! 😘

Way to go, Brod!! I’m so proud of you! 🙌🏼⚾️🧡🖤

Forgot to share my fun nails for March Madness! If I’m being honest, I could wear this year round! 🫣😜
After all, basketball is life! 💁🏼‍♀️

🗓️ ❤️‍🩹 3 6 5 ＤＡＹＳ 🗓️ ❤️‍🩹

That is how long it has been since I went to the ER to find out I was going septic from a large mass perforating my colon. Since having an emergency colectomy to remove that cancerous tumor. Since waking up in recovery with a colostomy bag attached to my stomach. Since realizing I was just lucky to be alive.

Is it ironic that on the one year anniversary of all that somewhat traumatizing unknown that I also finished my second round of treatment??
I think not.

God has been the true orchestrator of this cancer journey. My spiritual journey. I would be nowhere near where I am today without Him. I said it in the beginning and I believe it to this day, I am so thankful for my cancer diagnosis. God has His way of turning something tragic into something beautiful. ❤️

So, Happy 1 year Anniversary to my spiritual journey!! 🎉✝️
The best is yet to come.

💜 ＦＵＬＬ ＨＯＵＳＥ 💜

The only group pic I got this trip!
We choose to rent an AirBnb instead of getting hotel rooms for many reasons. The main one being it’s more close knit and personal. This particular house was absolutely perfect for our crew!!
A perfect main floor living and kitchen area for the adults and an even more perfect living area for the teen boys to set up the PlayStation and veg out on the third floor! Which they claimed as soon as we got there!! 😜
Plenty of bedrooms and, even better, enough bathrooms for all!! That’s crucial when it is 2 girls to 7 boys! 🤪🙈😂
This was such a quaint and nostalgic home and the fam already asked if we could stay here next year! Ha!!

🏀 ＢＩＧ 1 2 ＴＯＵＲＮＥＹ 🏀

Our annual trip to the Big 12 Basketball tournament is in the books! Our family looks forward to this week all year! We were hoping for that KU vs KSU matchup in the championship game but not this year. 😞
T-Mobile offered a Big 12 food menu and of course, I had to give the Jayhawk Loaded Mac & Cheese a try!
Lots of basketball, food, drinks and fun was had by us all!!
🏀🍕🌭🍿🍺 🤗 ❤️💙🥰 💜🤍
Unfortunately, I failed to get an entire group pic at the stadium! 🤗 Too busy making memories!!

Until next time, Kansas City! ✌🏼
