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!
I recently wrote about Devin trying out for The Crew competitive soccer team and that he was chosen for the 2007/2008 group. We are certainly extremely proud of him. He’s worked hard for this and truly deserves it. But I’m also saddened by what this means for True Potential. And…
Devin had the privilege of playing in the Oklahoma Youth Orchestra, a wonderful organization that “provides opportunities for artistic excellence to central and western Oklahoma.” Their season finale concert took place on May 1st. This was after he had a True Potential soccer game and…
The Oklahoma City Memorial Marathon is like no other race I’ve ever experienced. I have run both the 5K and the Half Marathon over the past 5+ years and they both are such meaningful races. For those that don’t know, the OKC Memorial Marathon is a Run to Remember. Remembering the lives…

Devin is midway through the 2022 Spring Season with True Potential. It’s been a great season so far and I’m really proud of this team. I’ll have a recap later but I wanted to share of few awesome photos and videos. Channel 9 did a news story on getting kids outside and into some…
I am a terrible person. I did not get many pictures of the kids this year. Halloween always creeps up on me. This year was worse! I also didn’t get many Christmas pictures. I blame this on the children who are incredibly fast at opening gifts. There were presents one minute and a huge trash…
Last night, Thursday, October 28, 2021, Devin had the pleasure of playing in a Fall Concert for the Deer Creek Middle School Band. It was a wonderful concert with three amazing pieces. Enjoy!…
This recipe comes from my mom. Brisket is a staple in any household in Texas, and ours was no exception. It’s not a cheap cut of meat, but it feeds many. Leftovers are never a problem. And though this is not a smoked brisket recipe, serve it up with mashed potatoes, your choice of vegetable…
We just wrapped up a fantastic season of Indoor Soccer. It was so nice to be back after taking some time off from the sport. And it was even better because Braden got to participate in Indoor Soccer for the first time. We’re so proud of him for all of the hard work he put…
