More Universal

August 22, 2025

Day 2 at Universal and we went to Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure. We rode so many roller coasters my equilibrium was off! It was the BEST!

We endured the G force of The Hulk…but only once. Once was enough for that one!

Simpson’s Land is always a hit and this kid waited patiently to finally get his Lard Lad donut! He was such a trooper all weekend. He had gotten his braces the day before he left and he had sores all in his mouth. But, in true Spencey style, he didn’t complain and just kept going. Love this kid!

Universal

August 21, 2025

At the end of July we had one more summer adventure! A trip to Universal to see the new park, Epic Universe. It was EPIC!

We stayed in one of the new hotels which was really cool…

and had a FULL day at the park riding all of the new rides! It kind of felt like we were walking on the surface of the sun but we survived. Our favorite ride was the roller coaster Stardust Racers and it might be my new favorite roller coaster ever!!

Of course this park has more Harry Potter stuff and it’s all very cool to see.

We ate at Atlantic in Epic and it was honestly delicious! Definitely the best theme park food I’ve ever had!

Confirmation

May 21, 2025

Sunday was confirmation day for Spencer! Everyone was looking sharp…

and we made it to the church in plenty of time.

Doesn’t Spencer look handsome!

graduation

The big group of confirmands!

Samantha had to duck out of the service a little early to get to a soccer game but the rest of us headed to the club for a nice lunch.

Everyone had fun entertaining – and being entertained by – baby Holland at lunch!

The boys especially liked it when they made Holland play Brawl Stars and he pulled Surge’s hypercharge! ha!

A great day all around!

Mother’s Day

May 12, 2025

She’s the best around and we’re glad she was around all weekend!

And we’re excited too see Lulu next weekend! Happy Mother’s Day to you both!

I got spoiled by my crew and feel very lucky that these three call me momma…

Love them!
