Happy timezones, Friends!

Jody-Bear (“JoJo”) is getting so big! He’ll have his first birthday soon, and even though it’s sad to see him leaving the baby stage, it’s lovely how he’s changing and growing. His birthday theme is, “Mr. One-derful!” lol It’s going to be so sweet.

A few weekends ago, The Mister and I went on a road trip with the parents and one of my sisters to Indiana to visit family. My Aunt Rhonda took the photos of Mom and Dad. I think she captured some really nice moments.

Mom and Dad have been married 58 years! And my dad just had his 81st birthday in February.

The last picture in the collage is my mom with “Middle Little” Lyra on the couch in my library. That’s the room we open up when company is visiting. I also spend quiet time in that room as I find it very calming.

In other news, I made a new graphic for Cesare and Josie-Pye that I’m using at the bottom of my footer, if you wish to scroll below to see it. The Mister helped me with it because it was so hard for us to do. I hope it captures the fun, hilarious, and sweet, cuddly little boy he was.

I hope you enjoyed this peek into the family! How are you and yours doing?

Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

  1. You’re absolutely right about family is everything! We’re going through some hard times here, with my favorite aunt passing away from cancer without me being able to go back and see her as she was in Sweden. And now my husband’s father is also diagnosed with liver cancer and he has just a few months left…

  2. Love those pics of your parents, Kymber, and your son is adorable. That baby stage doesn’t seem that long ago to me, but my sons are long past it. What happened, lol?

  3. These are some beautiful pictures of your family. I couldn’t agree more about how family is everything! I got a good chuckle about the theme of your son’s first birthday. So good!

    1. Thank you so much, Lauren. I’m glad you like the photos and so glad you think Jody-Bear is adorable. I just spent today with him and his sisters and it was soooo nice. 🙂

      Hugs xo

  4. The value of quality time with family can not be underestimated. We are looking forward to seeing our grandbaby soon. We had to book a trip out so we could see them before baby is walking. It is difficult living so far away. 😞Perhaps our kids might think otherwise. 😊Thanks for sharing. Happy Thursday Kymber. Allan

    1. Thank you, Allan. I hope your Thursday is blessed! 🙂 That will be so nice to see your grandbaby. That must be hard to live so far away. I’m glad you’ll see them soon, though. I love what you said about your kids saying otherwise. lol I bet they’d love to have you closer if they could.

    1. Thank you, Jacquie! 🧡🐈🌳🌷 I’m glad you like the photos and the graphic. Mr. One-derful says thank you. Oh, wait, he was just spitting up. LOLOLOL I hope you have a great day, Jacquie! 🧡🌷

  6. Those are beautiful photos. Happy 1st birthday to Jody-Bear and Happy 81st birthday to your dad, and Happy 58th anniversary to your mom & dad. There is a lot going on in your family. In a few days our niece is getting married here in Dallas.

  7. Lovely family. 🙂 Happy Birthday to “Mr. One-derful”! Jody is adorable and your parents look great. Hard to believe your dad is 81. Congrats to them for 58 years of wedded bliss. 🥂

    Sweet graphic of Cesare and Josie-Pye! May Cesare live on in your hearts and make you smile. 💖

    1. Thank you, Debbie. 🙂 You know, I don’t think either of my parents look their ages. They’re doing well. 🙂

      Thank you for your beautiful thoughts about Cesare, too. We still laugh and we are still crying, but you are right that he is living on in our hearts.

  8. You are right. Family is everything and these photos demonstrate that perfectly. Like Cesare’s graphic. You caught him at a happy moment which is the best ever.

    1. Thank you so much, John. I’m glad you like the photos and the graphic of Cesare and Josie-Pye. It just seemed to capture what we loved about him. 🙂

  9. These are such wonderful photos, Kymber. That’s so true – family is everything 🙂 Family for me means to love and someone who will always be there for you through good times and bad. It is about encouragement, understanding, hope, comfort, advice, value, morality, ideals, and faith. These things are all important to me because they make me feel safe and happy regardless of what is going on in my life. Thanks for sharing, and have a good day 🙂 Aiva xx

    1. I couldn’t agree with you more. No matter what happens in life, your family should be a safe place to fall with unconditional love. 🧡🐈🌱🏵️

      You have a good day, too, Aiva. xo
