Where have I been?!?!?

I am really not sure of the answer.....

Life has not been too crazy lately, but I guess you could say steady! We have been spending lots of family together at home saving our pennies for our upcoming Spring Break vacation....and hopefully for the "new" car that Brooks and I have yet to agree on!

Bryson is well on his way to kindergarten graduation, sadly, and he is also busy playing soccer for his new coach aka Daddy. I can't believe how much he has CHANGED in the last year. We had kinder screening at school last week and I can't even remember Bryson being so shy and apprehensive like some of those sweet upcoming kinders....hard to imagine that a SHORT year ago he was little and shy and now he acts like a grown up that reads and writes and everything else a 6 year old does! SAD, but FUN all in ONE! Soccer season is in full swing and the team is starting to figure each other out and hopefully before the season is over they will grab a win!!!!

Britan is well on her way to being a BIG girl. She has figured out how to crawl the normal crawl, pulling up on things, trying to stand alone, clapping, waving and sometimes talking....where has my baby gone???? I can't believe how big she has gotten and sooooo fast! I do have to admit she is still not the best sleeper..we just can't find that happy medium that makes her sleep....Brooks thinks that she will be this way always and honestly we have adjusted to the frequent wakes during the night. Yes, we are still using some Baby Wise tricks, but my girl has NEVER slept for more than 6 hours at a time...4 tops and that is on a rare occasion. She loves to be outside and LOVES to laugh at her brother and all of his silly tricks! She is still a baldy and still loves to wear her bows!!!

Brooks is helping out, a little, with girls soccer at West and he has taken on the new role of U6 soccer with Bryson....which he is still a little upset that I signed him up to coach, but he is coming around a little more each week....just like I knew he would! Other than that Brooks is Brooks.....

Me...work is slowly calming before the EOG storm comes blowing through and that's about it for me too....
nothing really new for me either!

We are all just counting the days till we are sailing the ocean blue to the Bahamas, visiting Mickey's house, riding the Hulk at Universal and playing with the stingrays at Sea World.....

Hope you are well and enjoying the AMAZING weather!! Take care and hopefully I will post more sooner than later!
Love, Alysha

i am changed.....

  covid changed me, you read that right. that's when i changed. i changed my outlook, i changed our routines, i changed our home! i changed a lot of things because it changed me and somehow makes me see the tragedy that occurred in the state of NC last week differently. there is perhaps a little bit of aging in my outlook too, don't get me wrong, but i am forever a different person as the years pass. i am not the same as i was last year and i won't be the same next year, i am certain. but it's these types of life changing events that make you sit up and realize. it. could. all. be. gone. tomorrow. and if you don't realize that, search asheville, boone, saluda NC….they are proof. the things we get up everyday to do on our to do lists, they don't necessarily matter. yes, i am a firm believer in a purpose, when my feet hit the ground every morning i go through my to-do list in my head, BUT it could change any minute of any day and we have to know what is important ...

post 5 of 6-----vision board progress!

post 5 of 6 for my 2023 vision board... i'm a tad behind which really annoys my OCD. the week didn't go as i had intended and i ended up sick which is not a norm for me, so i have struggled to recover and accomplish things that should have already been accomplished.  in this post i wanted to share my progress on my 2023 vision board.  my word of the year was intentional-i absolutely feel like i lived up to this word. i have caught myself on many occasions seeing that word in the middle of my board and bringing me back to being intentional! i have tried to leave things better than i found them, i have lived in the moment and worked hard at making things intentional.  grounding-i have failed on this one....it has been harder than i thought it would be, but grounding is something that i feel like i can mentally carryover and continue to work on.  travel-in my book we have accomplished this. brooks and i traveled to mexico. we have made several little trips-snowboarding,...

a coach’s wife.

 post #4 of #6 for the 2023 year.  this topic is going to be touchy, not well received-i am certain by some-and possibly controversial. thats your warning.... i make blog posts for an outlet, started 13 years ago as a healing outlet, lead to a sharing outlet, has dwindled over the years, but the purpose has ALWAYS been the same...an outlet.  i want to start this one with a few pieces of background knowledge 1-because i am not new to this rodeo and 2-because i have learned over the years and reflected on situations that lead me to believe i have decent knowledge of this topic .. i am mostly a soccer mom...also a tennis mom and a cheer mom, but mostly a soccer mom (no secret in that), but before i was that. i was AND still am a coach’s  wife. you see brooks has coached longer than we have been married. he has coached for 20 years.....20 STRAIGHT years....its not like here or there or a fill in, its not like a season a year, its like multiple seasons a year, multiple te...
