Life UPDATE We are waiting for results from her 24 hours with the holter monitor, here's a partial update. We have taken some time to process all of the information we have so far and discussed with family first with what our plans will be.

Six years ago, when she had her last open heart surgery, we were told that the "life-span" of the prosthetic pulmonary valve that they placed would be around 5-8 years. Since we are in year 6 and she has no outward symptoms, the symptoms her heart is showing, internally, are different.

We are now planning for another heart procedure done within the next 6-9 months. These plans will include her team in Dallas, TX; whether it be a a heart cath or open heart surgery. We will likely learn more as we go, but for now, that's what we have discussed.

While we have anticipated this news (based off of how her heart has been historically, and God's direction in those "gut feelings") the weight of it and it coming to fruition is still SO hard. Brianna has been in a “healthy” season for several years now and we have really made it a point to make memories as a family. Thankfully, our lifestyle has brought us closer as a family, allowing for that precious time.

Please pray for the wisdom, peace and understanding as we are now at the stage of explaining to the girls what's to be expected. Preparing ourselves emotionally, and now our children emotionally, seems like it will be much harder that what it used to be. Pray for the girls as they receive information about this. They do know something will need to happen but it's not all that clear to them, yet. We want to be sure before we get really specific with them.

There are MANY things what will need to happen between now and whenever things are put into motion for any procedures. One of those is to complete the renovations of our home (having to put in new floors) within the next couple of months.
Other things will include BIG decisions, so, please pray for guidance there, too.
Thank you ALL for your continued support and prayers. We will always covet those prayers and love from each of you.
That's all for now- Until then, we let God lead our way and show us His will for us.

❤️‍🩹8️⃣

EIGHT years ago today was our daughter Brianna’s first heart surgery. Her initial repairs that kept her hospitalized for 40 days. Her sissy visited often and was well taken care of by many family members and friends while we endured one of our hardest seasons of parenthood.

Brianna is doing very well for now and has her next cardiologist visit later this summer. We have enjoyed this season of health for her and pray that she continues to grow into a beautiful young lady.

She is our ❤️ warrior and we will be forever thankful that God blessed us with her and her sister.

These two have such a bond and I pray that it continues to grow. What a very special story they have- may they share it with others as they grow up and understand what it takes to be each other’s keeper.

Thank you ALL for being warriors of prayer for our family throughout this journey. I know we haven’t updated as often as we should but we are enjoying living life together and creating memories to last a lifetime.

🥰We are so proud of these girls who are moving into their 3rd year of homeschool (“3rd grade”)!

They constantly surprise us with how smart they are and the growth they’ve experienced again this year.

Kenley and Brianna, we hope you always keep your eyes open and hearts free to learn all God’s wisdom. Enjoy the Summer vacation and all the fun you can have. We love you so much! 👯‍♀️

🌲🦬⛰️🌊 It’s National Park week! And TODAY is National Junior Ranger Day!

Part of our homeschool plan is to visit National Parks and earn Junior Ranger badges. To do so, the kids have to “explore, learn, and protect” and complete booklets or answer questions about the nature, the culture and history of the park they’re visiting-and how to protect and preserve it for future visitors!
These booklets or activities are given by the park offices/stores and are usually based on the age of the child. Once they complete their work and correctly answer questions, they take a Junior Ranger oath to earn the badges! 🫡🤚🏼

Our girls have earned several Junior Ranger badges and added them to their vest. 😊

Their favorite parks, so far, are (Kenley) The Great Smoky Mountains in Tennessee and (Brianna) Padre Island National Seashore in Texas. They got to meet one of only 8 or 9 National Park K9 officers named Lily, while in Padre Island. 😍

😍🚗 Kenley and Brianna have been car show attendees since before they could walk! They love car shows and learning about classic cars (cars in general). They’ve gone to the shows since they were two! It’s so neat to look back and see the pictures of the many car events they’ve seen as we have traveled, too! They’re even getting pretty good at recognizing and pointing out different types of cars and love the ways that they are customized.

What precious memories ☺️ I absolutely love how their daddy has ignited the car-loving flame within.

Do you and your kids have a “thing” that you’ve started together?

🙈 We are all safe and well- it’s just something that will reduce our summer travels to close to nothing!

Enjoy this hilarious photo of Scout, our blue heeler, that describes our reaction perfectly. 🥴

😍 The fiery sunsets are really gorgeous with the gulls perched and the ships waiting in the background. These are just a couple of the things we will always think about with Port Aransas, TX. Plus, there’s just such a thrill arriving by ferry that seems to be just as missed when we leave 🤗

🧗🏻‍♀️🤸🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️Some of our favorite things to do when we travel are visit parks and playgrounds! We love when they have different activities like this fun ropes course and little climbing “treehouse.”

😍 Do you date your spouse?

We have especially found it important to find pockets of time, like while our girls are in their Wednesday night church events to be intentional in time together. These moments help us discuss what’s going on with each other and the kids, without the interruption.
Spending time to learn and know what your spouse needs helps keep the relationship closer and the lines of communication clearer. This is for both RV families and those who are busy with all the activities after school and work!

Just a quick dinner for an hour makes a world difference. You should try it! 😊

There’s nothing like a meal outside on the patio with gorgeous water views! This is exactly what we did over the weekend and it was just what the “doctor ordered”—it was wonderful!

Do you like to eat outside when it’s an option or do you like to stay indoors?

There’s something so peaceful and powerful about the sunset over the ocean. May peace be over you today and throughout this New Year ❤️

🤯 This lifestyle is anything but easy; however, homeownership in any form is stressful. We have had several months of under but have remained faithful that God will get us through the storm. These girls have been so flexible, resilient and joyful and we are so thankful for that.
The memories that we are making will always far outweigh the bad days, the hard times and the uncertainty of waiting for repairs. We will forever cherish what God has provided for us and hope to never take it for granted.

What a beautiful life we have created together and are so thankful to be able to share it with the world. It is because we serve an almighty God that we have been able to get through these times. If you don’t have a relationship with God- we are happy to share and talk to you more about it. ❤️

😍One of our girls gave her life to Christ yesterday! We are so proud of her!

She had been asking about getting baptized for a while! Even when we were in Alabama earlier this year, she wanted to but we thought that we would make sure she understood what it meant and we would pray over her and nurture her desire, saying “let’s wait until we get back to our home church.” Since then, we had visited a couple of other churches where it was baptism Sunday- except, this one was different.

This time, once we saw that it was baptism Sunday at .rockportfulton, we agreed that if she declared it again, we would go with it! And that’s exactly what we did. We listened to God speaking to us and her showing us that she was ready. She didn’t need anyone else but her family there. She was baptized in front of THOUSANDS of people on a public beach, in the Aransas Bay, in Rockport, TX! Notice how excited and proud she is!
This was the most beautiful day in so many ways. God is so, so good! 🙌🏽

We are also strong believers in confirmation from God- and as if being at multiple locations on baptism Sundays wasn’t enough- Kenley’s twin sister Brianna, opened her Bible to a random place after lunch and read 2 Corinthians 5:17 🥰

“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭ESV‬‬

You may also accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior! Just say this prayer:

Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and life. Take my heart and wash it clean. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. It’s in Your name I pray, amen!

Now, look up a life-giving church in your area and get plugged in! ❤️

“For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭10:10‬ ‭NLT‬‬

🤯 A YEAR ago, we were “homeless” for a couple of days before we picked up our RV! It’s been such an amazing, scary, exciting, beautiful and lesson-filled year! We cannot wait to see what this year has for us as we continue this journey through the country!

Living out loud with our girls has been the BEST decision (not always the easiest) we have ever made! Seeing them thrive has been so rewarding.

Like our friends say, start small, start now. ❤️

This little boy keeps us entertained for sure! 😂

❤️ When we told people we were going to sell our house and most things in it tell him an RV and travel full-time they called us crazy. Brian had health scares and our daughter Brianna has already had two open-heart surgeries (with several more in the future) and we just knew that we had to LIVE our lives NOW!

This has been the very best decision we could have ever made for our family and our children. They are thriving and we are thriving. We are making memories that Brian and I did not get to have (as much as) when we were children. This is the richest education our children can get, PLUS, they may not remember all of it that we sure will. 😍

Our one year RV-versary is approaching and we cannot be more thankful for the memories we have made. Has it always been easy? NO! Is it stressful? YES! Homeownership in all means can be stressful. We look at it as a blessing to be able to live and make memories with the girls that will last forever. This is time that we will never get back. We will always thank God for how our lives have unfolded.

“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ― Melody Beattie

We each have our travel day tasks…mine are packing/ cleaning up the inside and pulling in the slides.

His is packing the outside and dumping the 💩 tanks! I don’t mind helping but he is such a rockstar at it that he’s usually got it all under control. Plus, the gag factor for me is strong so, we try not to create more mess than necessary 😵‍💫

What’s your travel day routine?

Follow us for more RV life fun!

💐🍰 Mother’s Day and my birthday- what’s honorable combination! I am so beyond belief that these beautiful girls are mine.

My dream came true when I became a mother but it didn’t come easily (thanks to IVF miracles and a patient hubby)! The days have been long and the years short but I wouldn’t want it any other way for my birthday or Mother’s Day!

Today we get to spend time enjoying the beautiful sunshine and each other’s company. 💓 I sure am so thankful for this beautiful life I get to live with my best friend and our girls.

Happy Mother’s Day to all of you moms, bonus moms, adopted moms, god mothers, grandmothers and even to the ones who stand in as a mother! This is YOUR day today and everyday! 💓 Enjoy it.
