My Blog about stuff – family, sports, travel, and cooking.
My blog is almost like my journal. I keep track of my kids’ various activities, from Taekwondo to Soccer to Band. I also spend time writing about our various travels, whether to family or one of the many soccer events we attend. You might also find a good recipe, or two!
Spring Break is another busy time of year. No school or soccer but still very busy. We bring it on ourselves. There’s a house to clean…and clean well. Field trips with the kids to Mitch Park, Science Museum, the Zoo, Martin Nature Park, etc. But this year was different. Mike decided to…
Hey there, friends, family, and fellow soccer fans! I’m beyond excited to share some big news about my son, Devin Ulmer, and his incredible journey as a young athlete. This summer, Devin has been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to travel to Madrid, Spain, for Futbico—a renowned soccer program…
I absolutely love the rice bowls from Qdoba. I could probably eat them every day. And with a Mexican Coke, it’s the perfect meal. But eating out is obviously costly. So I’ve decided to make a Taco Rice Bowl at home. What’s cool about this meal is that you can totally make it your…

Competitive soccer is a prickly thing. Twice a week practices. Traveling all over the place. Money spent for these games and tournaments. But it’s also a lot of fun. Though, we’ve had some struggles this year! Let’s focus on the fun, though. Not the score! Braden Braden has had quite a few games…
Devin is part of the Olympic Development Program in Oklahoma. These are kids from all over the state who have tried out and made the State Pool. They are exceptional kids and it’s a great opportunity for Devin to learn from different coaches, play with different kids, and learn teamwork in a…
Devin joined other Oklahoma ODP players in a tournament in Memphis, TN February 15-17, 2025. It started out as a cold and dreary weekend filled with rain, flooding, and a tornado watch. But we made the most of it before and after soccer games! First Stop – Bass Pro Shop Not only is the Bass…
Devin and Braden both started soccer around 4 and 5. Austin’s at the same age. So, we signed him up for rec soccer. Though we love ESC, we decided to send him to North OKC. The fields are close to our house and easier to get to. And I’m so glad we did. We got…
