Happy Friday 🤘🏼

You can be in your 40s and be a grandma, you can be in your 40s and have kids in college, you can also be 40 and have a newborn. Do you fit one of these? I had my last baby at 40, my mom on the other hand, was a grandma in her early 40s.

In the midst of slower workouts, interrupted workouts, missed workouts, etc….it’s tough. But one day, you’ll see them doing a burpee, a squat…..then asking to work out with you and you’ll realize….it was all worth it 💕💕💕💕🥹🥹🥹🥹

Am I the only one confused how 1980 is basically only 5 years away from being FIFTY years ago?! 🫣

Pool day, beach day, everyday workouts and lots of family time. THE BEST past three days with my sister and nephew in town 💕

One year. It feels like forever ago and yesterday all at once 🥺🥺

To the woman who was asked more times than she could count “when are you guys having a baby?” and feeling sad because you couldn’t answer. So you’d just say “someday, we aren’t ready yet” but secretly prayed for it every month for years.

I understand.

To the woman battling fertility appointments, treatments, invasive procedures, shot after shot, disappointing news, unknown outcomes, anxiety and so many tears.

I understand.

To the woman staring at a positive pregnancy test, feeling shock, crying, thinking “I can’t do this.”

I understand.

What a wild ride I went on over the last 8 years to have babies, then to feel so upset over a positive pregnancy test and feel the complete opposite of emotions was a very confusing time for me. Nearly my entire pregnancy I didn’t know how to process how I felt.

But, here’s our little surprise guy. And I couldn’t imagine him not being here, now ♥️

Saturday was silent, surely it was through…

But, since when has impossible, ever stopped you?

Friday’s disappointment is Sunday’s empty tomb…

Since when has impossible, ever stopped you?

Rattle 🎶 by Elevation Worship is in my top 2 worship songs. And it’s such an amazing Easter song.

This is such a great reminder that, through Christ, all things are possible. But also that beauty can shine through the ashes…our current situation isn’t our final situation ♥️

🖤From Athlete to Mom 🖤

Competing at Regionals ➡️ the Open at 6 months pregnant with Ainsley ➡️ the Open at 6 months pregnant with Austin ➡️ the Open at 3 months postpartum with Hunter.
And two other CrossFit opens while nursing a baby around 9 months old and up multiple times per night.

Needless to say, out of 13 Open events, 5 of them have been either pregnant or postpartum/nursing/not sleeping yet. Was I “in shape” NOPE. Many may wonder why I signed up. But if you’re part of the CrossFit community you’ll know it’s all about the community, showing people that CrossFit is for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re new, old, young, seasoned…we can all scale to our own individual levels.
This year, scaling meant — lots of rest breaks (I have no motor after taking off so much time from high intensity workouts) and guess what? I still did it. And it was fun —- our community is amazing 🙌🏼

Will I “compete” again one day? Probably.
But until then, I’m too sleep deprived, exhausted, and barely have time to workout myself because I have three tiny people taking every ounce of energy I have. So, over the years I’ve pulled back to give myself Grace.
I still workout, but it’s less. I lift heavy instead of trying to leave myself crawling on the floor after a workout, or, if I am lucky enough for a full hour of class then I just scale so I can easily walk away and function the rest of the day. One day, the kids needs won't be as demanding.

Hopefully this can serve as a reminder to other moms in the same season that I'm in ♥️

If you see us at the park, we are usually climbing with our kids, making them race each other or us, or possibly do pull ups on the monkey bars 💪🏼.

Playdough offers great benefits (I know many parents just think about the mess — but hey, where there is a mess, means there was play. And play means learning & growth)
•fine motor development
• children are building muscle in their hands and lower arms
• this improves hand eye coordination

By making playdough “noodles” (Austin immediately called them snakes) and giving your toddler play scissors and knives they are building the above mentioned. They are also learning:
•to use both hands together (coordination)
• how scissors work
•over time will build the strength and skills to hold and cut
• it also builds necessary coordination and skills for handwriting later down the road 💕

What other fine motor activities do you love for your toddler?

We are officially in the third trimester. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Pregnancy is the marathon you didn’t know you could run. It’s also the one you can’t quit.
All of my pregnancies have been different but this one has been by far, the hardest. My only guess is because there were only 20 months between pregnancies and my body hadn’t had time to be “normal” due to nursing Austin up to 3 months prior to getting pregnant and the fact that I’m chasing a toddler around this time.
But, we’re almost there 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Workout with two of my boys this morning, the third one is slightly larger and was taking class on the other side of the gym 😆 and my little miss 7 year old was in CrossFit Kids 💪🏼

Family fitness 💕

Cannot wait until I can move like a normal person again. This pregnancy has been really, realllllly hard on my body. There may have been a “________ pregnancy” comment as I was woken up at 5:45 by an extreme calf cramp this morning. You can use your imagination to fill in the blank 🫠

We met on Facebook, had a meet up at the CrossFit gym in Japan and the rest is history….
We relocated to Virginia Beach, for me, I moved completely across country. We got fur babies, bought our first home, traveled, opened a business, had a baby, built a bigger home for a growing family….life continually changes and if I had to do it all over again I’d still choose you.
Happy 13th anniversary 😘😘😘 I love you!
