Through nearly 17 years of parenting together… Every day. Every night. Every long drive. Every broken glass, every family walk, every over-the-top-meal-from-scratch, terrifying diaper situation, drawing lesson, dance party, bath time, guitar lesson, full sink, board game, movie night, gift to wrap, camping trip, health crisis, storytime, barbecue… ALL OF IT. You are the best one. Happy Father’s Day ❤️

We got invited to an incredible party at the Sony studio lot to celebrate GHOSTBUSTERS DAY, and the 40th Anniversary of busting ghosts! Several Ghostbusters cosplay teams were there and we learned about how they raise awareness for philanthropic causes, such as children’s hospital fundraising & visits (loved chatting with Alex from ). Shout out to Ally, who did a fantastic job running the ice sculpture (nobody licked it, though many tried) & to our friends, , who we always have such a lovely time with. It was a genuinely ❄️COOL❄️ day! We also saw a screening of GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE and it is absolutely fantastic!! Highly recommended (though can be scary for younger kids). GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE is available to buy on Digital now 💗

Parker is 11 years old!! He has had an incredible past month— going to Utah for the USA gymnastics trampoline & tumbling regionals, attended tons of super fun events like the Lion King at the , celebrating with as they go on tour, enjoying a special screening of at the Paramount Studios lot, and going to LEGOLAND for Duncan’s birthday! To add to all the excitement, we celebrated Parker’s birthday in the best way we knew how for him— a gymnastics party!!! 🤸🎉 So it has been a busy, wonderful time, but I wanted to take a moment to look back on how much he has grown and reflect on what a sweet, kind, strong, energetic, fantastic little guy he is and how grateful I am to be his mom 💗😭💗 Happy birthday, Parker!

The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl! I can’t believe we got to see this historical performance live— we have officially seen the original Timon & Pumba (Nathan Lane and Eric Sabella) sing Hakuna Matata on stage 😱😭🤯 THAT alone is such an honor, but the whole evening was filled with incredible performances— impeccably joining old & new and stage & film. The show is being recorded for to air on Disney Plus and features absolute LEGENDS such as Jennifer Hudson , Nathan Lane, , North West, Jeremy Irons, Lebo M, and many more! thank you for the incredible show & for gifting our family with tickets !❤️

Teddy’s first movie at a movie theatre… also his first time at Paramount Studios! He did start talking to the screen a bit— cheering “croissant!!!” when a box of them appeared in the film. We were invited to an early screening of and it is FANTASTIC! Great for all audiences— just as meaningful for adults as for kids. It’s super sweet & funny, while simultaneously layering in difficult topics. I love that we had our entire age range of kids (2-16) and everyone thoroughly enjoyed it! 💗

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUNCAN 🎉🎂🥳🎁 Duncan is 7 years old today — pretty wild! He is such a sweetheart and very clever. He enjoys his logic classes and is almost done with the second Harry Potter book! He has a great sense of humor— very dry, but so funny. He’s been experimenting with silly voices lately and is a very good actor. He loves art and has been going with his grandma to pottery classes every week. It’s been so sweet for them to have that special bonding time together and he is really enjoying it! He is a major (board) gamer and the day isn’t complete for him if he hasn’t played at least one game. His favorites are Splendor (including marvel splendor and splendor duel), Pandemic, Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle, Can’t Stop, and the Legendary: Buffy the Vampire card game. He is a wonderful brother to all of his siblings and overall just such a fun little guy! We love you Duncan!!!
