Speaker 1 (00:00):
So we live now in Friendswood, Texas. There is some
personal reasons when it comes to just like school dynamics.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
And it is okay to not have to prove anything
to our children. Yeah, just as much as our kids
don't have to prove anything to us, no matter what,
we love them and there's multiple ways to find joy.
Sitting on the porch yesterday watching them just play with
the neighbors, or play with chalk, or ride the scooters,
(00:31):
or Blake giving us stories about what happened today, like
those are joyful moment.
Speaker 3 (00:43):

Speaker 2 (01:54):
We are a bit exhausted and worn out, and I
think we have crashed the last two nights we've been
in this house, and I feel like we wake up
and the bed is still made because neither one of
us like moved. By the way, we celebrated an anniversary yesterday. Yeah,
we kind of both forgot fort it.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I mean, there was so much going on obviously, I
completely lost track of even what day it was.

and oh yeah, I know it was like Todd's birthdays.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
The day before it was like high birthday Todd.

way too much stuff going on and both of us

Speaker 2 (04:10):
American meat delivery. But we're here, we're getting settled into
the new house. I feel like, you know, it's a
great house. The kids have already met like some friends
around the neighborhood, which is fun.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
And we're close to.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Like a little common park area that they can scooter
down there and ride their bikes or whatever. And yeah,
it's just really weird because everything is.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Just like all over the place, you know, Like I
actually miss the neighborhood before.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, like the ease of like you know where.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
We have houses that we're about to put on the market,
Like I missed the living and yeah, living in a
neighborhood where you can like our where are other houses?
Every acre is like on a lot. All the houses
are spread way apart. So it's like you lose that
connection with neighbors a little bit. Like we have some
very deep close relationship with a few neighbors, but still
(05:09):
it's like an effort to like go to their house
or something like that.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You should just walk outside and you're like, oh, look
they're playing. Like our neighborhood didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It didn't even have like sidewalks because like it's just
private roads like everything's so spread out, and so I
missed back whenever we lived in our old house. The
old house, you can literally just like walk outside and
like there was always kids. You know, there's a neighbor
here and a neighbor here, and like kids riding around
and like on the sidewalks and stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Like I missed that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, And I felt like when we found this house
kind of like when the other one fell through, and
like we found this one. It was like every time
I came out here, it was like always kids around.
There's kids always are illuminas, and there's kids always at
the park. There's kids always on bicycles, and it's like, yes,
you know a lot of them I would say are
mostly like the Quin's age. But you know, I think
(05:57):
once school starts up, Blake will be to like connect
find new community of friends.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
What she already has. So this week, Blake started tennis
camp for the new high school that she's gonna be
going to. You know, it's like their freshman tennis camp
for the actual school, and then next week is the
actual tryouts for the tennis team. It's given her the
opportunity to meet other other girls that are interested in
(06:25):
playing or are gonna play or gonna be trying out
and stuff like that, and so you know, every single
day she's been coming home like, oh, like I talked
to this girl her name was this, and like she's
really funny and like, you know, we get along and stuff,
and that's been awesome. Like I'm thankful that we're you know,
proactive and like putting her in that. So like she's
(06:47):
meeting kids and stuff like that already before you know,
obviously before she actually goes to high school.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, I asked her yesterday it was like or whatever,
day day one or day two. I was like, she said,
you know, these were a couple of the girls that
she met her names. I said, oh, did you're like
swamp numbers? And she's like what. I was like, you know,
like to be able to like text or talk to
your digits. She's like no, And I was like, oh,
too soon. Too soon.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I don't want to look needy, mom, just like for friends.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I don't know, I just feel like I don't know,
I don't know like what a like what like the icebreaker,
like hey, if you ever want to like play, you know,
like hey, let's get together and like we'll come up
and meet at the courts or something.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I guess what you're like if I think about like,
if I'm in a situation where it's like new and
I feel like I connect, like with another woman or
mom or whatever, be like hey, like let's let me
get your number. We can do coffee or something like that.
But I guess as a teenager, it's like, you know,
you gotta like wait, you don't want to look desperate,
you don't.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Want to look late. I don't know, it's just funny.
So I picked on her.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I was like, oh, it's too soon to ask for numbers,
and she's like, I don't know, Mom, that's weird.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And the quints, I mean it's crazy, Like what last
night they were out at the park till like almost
eight o'clock. You know, all the there's tons of little
girls on like our block where we live right now,
and there's probably I think the girls came home last
night and they're like there were twenty girls out there
(08:21):
and they were all having like a little like they
were selling cookies and stuff like that down at the
corner whatever at the park, and they came home they
were like.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
They made forty seven dollars and there was like twenty
girls there, and so they've been having a blast like
every evening, like even to the point they're all like
leave and go down and knock.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
On one of their neighbors doors that they just met.
The other day, we were unloading the cars and she
literally walks up to me, this little girl that she's
ten years old, just like the Quints, and she's like, Hi,
I live down the road at the at the corner.
I was like, oh, hold on, let me grab the girls,
Like I don't.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Know what's going on right here. Saw that there was
kids and girls. I've gotten to know. I've got five
ten year olds. Hold on just a second.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And immediately the Clints were like, you want to come
in and play with girls? There's boxes everywhere, like our
house is a complete wreck, like we've literally just moved
boxes in moving in. She's like, y'all and the girls
were like, you want to come in and play? And
they're like playing hide and go seek and stuff around
boxes and like girls, but I mean, you don't play
(09:28):
somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I think I think there's a lot of people who
don't understand the reasoning and the process behind what we're
doing and why we're moving and like all these things,
and to a lot of people it doesn't make sense. Yeah,
and I mean, to be honest, it's not something that
we necessarily like really wanted to do, but we just
(09:52):
feel called and like led to do make this change.
And so I think we've had a lot of backlash
about like so mean of y'all take.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Your kids and uproot your kids.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And I'm like, listen, we're not doing this just to
be like selfish parents or whatever. Like We're doing this
because we feel like God is like doing something within
all this, and so we're just trying to be obedient
to that.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And so a lot of it's hard, and a lot
of people don't understand that. Like there's a lot of
people out there that don't under don't have like a
faith or understand.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Like hearing from God or and stuff like that. And
so you know, so instead of like wondering about that
or asking questions about like well, what does that really mean?
You know, they just they just like attack, like, oh, yeah,
that's a stupid answer. Like well, like for us, it's
very real, and it's and it's very and it's like
(10:48):
a very intimate and real like revelation that we've had
and so if you haven't had an experience like that,
of course, like it's probably easy to criticize that, but
like for us, it's like very very real, you know,
and we've had such a just like a confirmation and
a peace, you know, even just in a few days
that we've been here, like we've like had this confirmation
(11:11):
of like man, like the girls are going to do
great here. They've already met so many kids there.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
It was answered.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's I'm not gonna say like answered prayer, but it
felt like it was like one of those like God,
we see, like this is gonna be okay because it
is hard to even though you know, it's like something
like we want to do, we feel called to do.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
We want to make this change even.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Though it is hard and we might not know why,
and we've been changing a lot of things in our life,
this this whole twenty twenty five year, but it just felt,
you know, like the night before I kind of was like,
oh gosh, start to like think is this the right
thing to do? Like should we be doing this like
(11:55):
already messing up? And I was like no, no, no,
don't let those thoughts go in through head. That's real,
Like we still have like those humanized like thoughts where
we still feel, even as a Christian, like these thoughts
of like second guessing things and like worry and fear
through those things. But so that next day when we
(12:16):
woke up and we were moving and all these the things,
like you know, everything was just going smooth and we
got in here, and that next day was you know,
the things that I like was concerned about was, you know,
I know, the Quins are going to adapt easy because
they do have each other and even going to school,
they'll have each other and whatnot. But then with Blake,
(12:39):
it's like it's a completely different school, different surrounding, different people.
I know, there's not going to be as many like
teenagers possibly around here, but kids, younger kids typically hang
out more in the streets as far as like riding
bikes and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
That out in the streets.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, you don't necessarily see a lot of teenagers just
like playing with chalk outside, you know. You know, I
just felt like that day that that first morning, like
taking Blake to like tennis, and she was really nervous.
She didn't want to go, but she wanted to go,
and she didn't like that like what's it going to be, Like,
who's going to be there, like the unknown? Right, I
(13:19):
told her, getting through something like this, it's so good
for you because it's going to show you that you
can overcome like a challenge.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And though not necessarily that she would have picked this,
but we as parents are you know, the the caretaker
provider and the decision making for the family, and they
have to you know, a company and adjust into the
decisions that we make mom and dad for what's best
(13:50):
for the family. And so just picking her up from
the first day and it was just like she had
a smile on her face and she's.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Like, yeah, it's good, it's fun. You know, got a
couple of the girl's name, and.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That just like was just like I just was hoping
that she could at least like connect or conversation, not
even necessarily connect, but just like conversate with other people
her age, And because I didn't know if she was
going to be like the shy blake and like not
want to talk to anybody or whatever, or if she
(14:23):
was going to feel comfortable. But you know, it's kind
of like when you're go somewhere, it's like as long
as you're doing activity. It gives you a reason to
be like communicate with a person right in some aspect,
whether oh that all was out or like in some
way if you're playing a sport together, you're going to
talk to each other. So that made me feel like, okay,
(14:44):
it was a She left with a smile and she
said it was hot, and then kind of the quin's
getting home and like you know, just meeting a little
girl and then just like playing on the street.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
It was just like.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
It made me exactly what you said, like miss the
old neighborhood where it was just like you literally can't
go outside without seeing somebody playing.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, so like our I don't know what to call
the house that we're about to sell, the old house,
league city house, the old house. This is the new
house right now. Yeah, but we never like had a porch,
Like this house has a porch and we have like
two chairs out there, and we just like sat out
on the porch for a little bit and just like
you know, people are out like walking and doing stuff
(15:29):
and like you just like see neighbors and stuff in
your wave and like.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And I already met people that you know.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It was just like this is so It's like it's
so weird because I feel like, until I've gotten here
that I've always wanted this type of community.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah, and I felt like we did have.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Not that we didn't have community, but like we have
an amazing support and group of community in Leak City,
and but this one's different. It's likeke was saying today
that we was like, you know, the high school games
are so much funner and they're so different.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Well that's what you know.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
A friend was saying, like, Yeah, it's because like the
town it's got like a high school, so the town
is like all in for the pep rallies. Like it's
like the community because.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Like in Lake City there's like multiple high schools and
so it's like super subdivided and stuff. Well, here it's
like this entire town is like one.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I feel like it's like so.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
The entire town just rallies around that school and there's
like so much more.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, and I want to be able to be like
our kids, like be involved in how we grew up.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yeah, exactly's how we grew up.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And so it reminds me of like more so Yeah,
because Lake Charles was the city, but we still had
a great high school as far as pep rallies and
football games, like all the games you know, Monst Bluff
and whatnot. It's a little bit more smaller. And so
that was the town was all purple and gold. So
(17:05):
I'm excited about what's to come and what the years
are going to look like and stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
And so I was working my fingers out on the
keyboard registering six kids. It's always fun before, yeah, and
it's just I wish I could just say.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Copy paste, copy paste and change the name, change the
kids name. But once I did it in you know,
League City, and when everybody started kindergarten stuff, it's like
they're at least in the system. This is a completely
different school district. So I had to start completely all
the way over. So I'm like, okay, I got I
(17:44):
like got to get this done today. Now I have
crampy fingers from two hours of putting information in on
a computer. Yeah, but anyways, well we're going to take
a little break and shout out to our sponsor, Good Ranchers.
Speaker 1 (18:03):

so we are. We've got a lot to do in
the house.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
The kids are adjusting to like not really having like
TV and yet because well Adam hooked up the TV downstairs,
which was was good.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
We did watch a little bit of veg out a
little bit last night with the girls because Daniel what before.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, So so we're getting, you know, getting the house
ready to like move and stuff like that, and she
starts selling like on Facebook, marketplace or wherever she's selling it.
She starts up and selling like all this furniture.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yeah, so I don't have to move it, and so
and so we get into this house.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
We have.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Like no dressers, nothing to put the TV on in
our room, Blake has no furniture.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
She has no furniture.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Like Blake's been sleeping, Blake's been sleeping in Ava's bed
the last two nights because we're waiting on Blake's.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Friends, which is actually Blake's bed, and so there's like
all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
It's like because Danielle just sold everything, but then we
don't have this stuff here.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
So it's just like what.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I said, Like I said, I really don't feel like
we're at like an Airbnb and we're just like camping out.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
We don't have we don't have anything to put the
TV on in our room, and we don't have anywhere
to put our color. So like all of our clothes
are just like lined up along the wall in cardboard
boxes because we don't have any dressers or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
We have a bed in our night stand, and so.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
There's nothing to put the TV on, so I haven't
even hooked that up. So literally we have one TV.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
We don't even need.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
We didn't even need the TV because it's like just
crash anyway, but the girls have a new sleeping situation
going on. It's just been really funny because like everybody
always asks like what are their personalities? Who gets along better?
YadA yadayada, and it always is changing, it really is.
And right now, Parker and Ava are like the butt
(22:04):
head girls. Does that make That doesn't really sound right?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Doesn't? They butt heads the most? There you go, that's
that's saying it a little bit. They fight the most.
Let me just say they butt heads. They are not
butt heads. Yeah, that's what I've bet. That's what I meant.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Olivia and Hazel wanted to share room. I think they
are a little bit more where they like to do
the same things a little bit right now.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But then Hazel and Parker has always roomed together. Yeah,
and so this time around.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
So when Olivia wanted to room with Hazel, I was like, okay,
well you Hazel and Parker can share room, and then
Riley and Ava will share a room. And Olivia said, no,
me and Hazel want to be and the two put
Parker with Ava.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Olivia, I mean Ava and Riley.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I'm like, no, we cannot put Parker and Ava together
right now because all they do is fight with each other.
They antagonize each other, and so I was like, all right,
well if we're gonna put Parker over here, So we've
got Parker, Hazel, and Olivia in one room and they
have the quote unquote Love Shack Fancy Room Target version
(23:20):
Walmart version to come Riley in Ava. So Riley had
like a full sized bed in her room, which because
we would also use her room if like, you know,
company came over, they would use her room because it
was like the bigger bed. So when she got her
own room, it was like a bigger bed. For that reason,
it was like the spare room. But also, well we
(23:41):
need a bigger bed in there.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I mean, this house is kind of like the setup
of the Mold House, except for this house doesn't have
like the media room and.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Didn't have it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, and it's really like it's really like kind of
the same setup, same amount of rooms, same way we
can configured the girls. It was Blake has her room
and then there was two two in one room and
three in the other. Yeah, and so we went back
to that. And honestly, the only reason we ever put
Riley in her room by herself was like to show
(24:14):
that toddler stage where she was just like freaking all
over the place. She wakes up when the sun's up,
and when she wakes up, she wakes everybody up. Everybody
needs to be up. And so she went through that stage,
and so we went ahead and just put her in
her own.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Room and then everybody better. Now she just you.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Know, she wakes up and just kind of goes and
does her own things, doesn't wake everybody up. Yeah, and
so it's like, fine, we can.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
She's just a basic body when she was, I mean
she still is, but like a toddler face, Like she
didn't want to miss out on anything. So she made
sure she was the last one to go to sleep,
but she was the first one to wake up, and
then she'd wake everybody up because she didn't want to be.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Up like that. But she just doesn't wake everybody up. Yeah,
So she still liked that.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
But so Blake has been asking for new bedroom furniture
for a while, and so I said, you know, when
we move, we'll go ahead and get you some new furniture.
We gave Ava that bed because I was like, well,
I'm not having to buy any of them new beds
because we already have beds for them. So it was like,
these rooms are pretty good size. So it's like, let's
(25:16):
just put Riley's bed and Blake's the both two full
beds in the one room, and Ava can just have
that bed, and oh my gosh, she's so excited to
have like a bigger bed. But right now Blake is
sleeping in that bed and Ava is either sharing the
bed with Riley or on the extra mattress for right
now because Blake's furniture doesn't come until like I think
Friday or something. Yeah, but anyway, it's a new dynamic
(25:39):
up here we're trying to get. You know. What's funny
is like the very first thing that the girls came
in their room, sorry, the first thing that they wanted
to take to the house was their stuffed animals. And
I'm like, oh my gosh, And our rule in the
house is if you get a new stuffed animal, you
have to get rid of five stuffed animals at home.
They're trying to so they have to really think about
(26:02):
and I'm like, you only get five, you only get
five stuff animals, Like that's what you're taking to this house.
Everything else is going away, it's going to donate or whatever.
So they each took a pile of you know, stuffed
animals over and that was the first thing that they
brought to this house. And then when we moved everything in,
what was the first thing they did. They had to
set up all their skincare. I'm like, shoe the bathroom.
(26:25):
This is ridiculous. This is more skincare and stuff than
I have. I'm like, why do we have? But that's
you know, it's the phase right now. They think they
need all that stuff. But I'm very particular about what
I actually let them put on their face, especially because
like they don't really need anything, you know, but it's
okay to play with and like whatever. But it's overwhelming
(26:48):
what's in there. We should should do like a video
or something and let them explain all the things in there,
because I wouldn't even know how to explain it. I'm like,
give me some mascar and limb gloss and concealer. I'm
good to go.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah. So the yeah, and then the other bedroom upstairs.
I commenteered for my office because there wasn't like a
formal office in this house. There's like a space down
there that they they called it an office, and it's
not an office.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
It's more like a formal sitting room, which so I
kind of feel like, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
If there's nowhere to like have privacy or like yeah
you can't. You walk in the front door and it's
right to the left, and then it's open to the
stairs and it's opened all the way to the ceiling.
Like that's not an office, that's like a seating room.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Yeah, but I like it. I had to just.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Take one of the bedrooms upstairs. And so that's why
we have the girls three too, and then they have
a huge playroom.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah. So and we still haven't like set that up.
We got all the school dusk and stuff in there.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
We're gonna still got a couple of things to do
in the League City house and get it cleaned.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
And yeah, we got it.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We got like stage two of the move, which is
everything that needs to go to storage, like stuff that
we don't storage.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
And there's so much donates. There will be a lot
of donate stuff. I think I'm actually gonna get a
company to come pick up all those donations. There's just
should there's so much of it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Much trailer yeah, and so yeah, like probably over this
weekend or whatever, we're gonna have to just go over
there and like start packing more stuff and like stage
stuff to just like go straight to and kind of
do it in a methodical manner to where like some
stuff we need to be able to get to some stuff,
it's just like put it to the back. So we
(28:35):
just need to figure that out so that we can
get the house fully cleaned and then just ready to
put on the market.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yep, and close that chapter.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I mean a lot of people ask like where we've moved,
and we've talked about, you know, moving to this area.
So yeah, it is just like an adjacent town, but
more of the reasoning behind like why we moved here
was just more of a holistic it's more of like
a close knit, close knit, smaller community over here. It's
kind of landlocked. It's not really growing any much more.
(29:07):
Everything that we've ever heard from everybody that lives here
is just like the dynamic here in this community is
so different, and we're like, that's like I feel like
that's what's God. God is like pushing us to is
like more to focus on raising our family like that,
and then we find this community and you know, we've
been learning about more and more about everything here over
(29:30):
the last year so we live now in Friendswood, Texas,
and we moved here. It's five minutes from Good Ranchests headquarters.
And also we have a lot of friends over here. Yeah,
I mean it's you know, a lot of people are like, why,
like why did you even put the girls through all
(29:50):
that just to move like thirty minutes away. It's more
than just pulling them out of school. I mean it
was just you know, we we had some there is
some personal reasons when whenever it comes to just like
school dynamics and you know, everything that's going on there
that we haven't like fully like kind of dove into
(30:11):
or talked about here just because like we don't want
to like disparage you know, anything going on that happened
back home. But you know, there is a little bit
more to the holistic of like why we moved here
that we may or may not share in the future.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
But and that's okay.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's for us to have and you know, it's it's
okay for us to like not share every single detail
of every single thing. I don't feel like we owe
that to everyone. I think the biggest thing is we
believe that God was directing us to this area whether
you believe that or not, that's fine. That's what we believe,
and you know, and we're perfectly okay with that.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Our kids are doing well over here.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I mean, obviously it's going to go through you know,
changes here and there, but you know, they've already made
like a ton of friends and we're still we're still
figuring it out.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
You know, it's it's completely new.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, I mean that's you know, for this episode, episode
forty two, we just kind of wanted to give like
a little bit bit of an update, show you that
we were in a new space.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
We still have a lot to do. Yeah, And to those.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Who are wrestling with some life changes or a big
step towards something, or fear in a direction or uncertainty,
sometimes sometimes we let like the fear and the uncertainty
keep us from going forward. A lot of times, there's
(31:40):
certain things in life that like we just can't control.
But if you think about what we can control, quote unquote,
what we can control is okay, okay, you don't.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Have to move, We don't have to move.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, but there's something deep within us that we feel
like God is guiding us towards and we know that
whatever is going to come towards following that path will
be honoring and like for His glory, and like that's
the life that we want to pursue and live. And
though we don't know what is to come, that is scary.
(32:15):
There is some fear behind that, but the joy of
knowing that this feels right in following His guidance, that
brings us more comfort than the fear does of it.
And so just to encourage, you know, those who may
be stepping into like a phase or they're a in
(32:38):
a life change of like I don't know what to
do now or what is here, or I feel like
I need to make a change, but I don't know
where to go or where to start. You know, for
us as Christians, my counsel is scripture and like prayer
time and really going back and like looking through my
(32:58):
journal and like what are things that I've been praying
about and just kind of like trying to see likes
is God showing us things that we don't know? But
if I look back and time even like just think
about ten years ago, five years ago, it's like I
can see what God's done in our life. And sometimes
you just don't know that right in the moment and
(33:18):
so just really kind of like meditate on what is
it that you want, what is it that you feel
like you could do, what is God leading you towards,
and seek scripture for that because that really really can
bring light to your situation. You know, there's always I
think I shared a verse with a friend this week
(33:39):
about there can be sorrow, but there's also still joy
within that, Like we can still be sad, we can
still have those emotions over a situation or over a
life change, but no matter what, we still can have
joy following you know, the steps of like obedience, it's
(34:02):
so hard. It's so hard, especially for someone like me
who is like a controller and likes to control things.
It's such a hard thing to like let go and
just to like follow and be obedient.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
But there's so much when you get to those milestone
marks of like you were obedient to this and you
followed through. Like the reward is so good. It's so rewarding.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
And there's nothing that I would say that I could
show forarder or to do how to explain it, but
it's just this sense of peace and that piece is
rewarding because it's kind of like a I did it,
and I don't know what we did kind of right,
because it's like we're trying to be obedient, but like
I didn't necessarily do anything. I just A'm trying to
(34:50):
be obedient, you know. I think our biggest thing in
life is to remain joyful. And I think what during
this season of like life change this year, our hearts
are just continuing to stay open to like what is
next because every little thing and trial that has come
in front of us this year, we have sought our
(35:11):
faith to say, like what do we do in this situation?
Speaker 4 (35:13):
God? And as long as we stick with that path,
Not that it's been easy, it's been peace through every step, Yeah,
that has been overcome. And like that's the life that
I want to live, is like a life of peace
and joy. For those that don't understand that, I get
it because I was too once that years and years
(35:36):
ago before I became a Christian.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I mean, it's easy to criticize something that you just
don't understand, yeah, until you've really like experienced that and
felt that, like you just don't know, and so all
you know is just like, oh I don't understand that,
and so you criticize. But we've lived it, and we've
experienced God and such just miraculous and very personal ways
(36:01):
over the years, just through many aspects of our journey
where you know, we know, we know whenever God's speaking
and God's moving in our life and God's directing us.
You know, sometimes it's hard sometimes like we don't want
to push, but you know, we're in this season. We're like, okay,
(36:22):
like this is going to be crazy, but like we'll
go and yeah, you know, until you until you've really
experienced that, like you're just you know, it is scary,
and it is it does sound crazy to some people.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
And just also like the thought of like what is
joy to you and how do you fulfill that? You know,
and I think, you know, we're in this. Something I've
struggled with, like over the summer is that, like, man,
I just feel like we're not utilizing our summer to
the capability of of like what are kids quote unquote need,
(37:02):
which means what they want and what we are used
to doing. And it's on the go and having fun
here and seeing this and adventure there and adventure there.
And you know, God's really been just saying like just
stop and slow down. I've had to like be reminded
multiple times, like though they might not have like this overarching,
(37:22):
like huge vacation that they got to seek this summer,
we want them to know that, like this summer, we
have just as much joy as we would have had
out on a beach somewhere because we have been seeking
God through this whole summer, not that we haven't in
the past, but we've just been seeking it differently.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
And you know, the kids like, are we gonna go here?
Are we going to go there?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
And you know, there's a little bit of like the
parent in me that says, like, man, this sucks that
we're not taking them here, we're taking them there. We're
doing these things, but I don't want them to think
that these are bad decisions, right, So having to communicate
with the kids and tell them like, you know, this
season and this summer, like this is what we feel
(38:08):
God wants for us, and it's we're still going to
have as much fun as we can and we're still
going to have so much joy, but it's going to
take a little bit of time for us to get
to the summer that you think that you might have
or that you're used to, you know, And so telling
the kids that just because it's summer, it doesn't mean
like we have to go all out in a different
(38:29):
country or city or like vacation. You know.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
It's just different this summer.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
And I'm saying that because I've seen right.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Before the end of the school year, we took them
to Orlando. Yeah, and we we had like a really
big trip like right before school ended.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
And they'll have another trip like of like going to
splash Wear like something close by.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
But I'm just saying we don't normally do that, so
like they did get like a trip this year.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah, But I'm usually I'm saying this to the parents
because we get a lot of flat too on y'all
are always going you're always doing these things, what you know.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Oh, but it's like damned if you do damned if
you try too. Because like but whenever we go do stuff,
people criticize us because we always go and we're always traveling.
But then we when we don't, it's like, how dare
you like not do anything with your kids this summer?
And so it's like you can't win with like half
(39:27):
the people on social media, so like give up just
trying to.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I mean, it's just yeah, and it's not like we're
proving anything to them. We're literally living our lives and
sharing our lives and criticize however you want, but it's
not necessarily gonna so change the way that we whatever
think about what social media needs to see from us,
you know, And we're definitely not going to change who
(39:51):
we are for the fact of criticism. Yeah, in that situation.
But I'm saying this to parents out there because I
do have a lot of moms you follow me. I
do have a lot of moms that are single moms
or stay at home moms, or they don't have family around,
or they don't have help with their kids, and they
don't have the means to do X, Y and z.
It's okay. It's okay to stay home and to find
(40:14):
joy within the house. And you know, look back on
COVID years where we were all strainded and didn't have
places to go, where things to do. You were stuck
in your home. Like I just I want you to
know that you don't have to feel bad for not
having the vacation of the summer with your kids, but
let them know how you find joy and how you're
(40:38):
finding joys. So like if they like I think about
like the kids are going to go back to school
and it's gonna be like, Okay, what it was your
funnest thing or what did you enjoy this summer? You know,
like it's okay that you don't have a vacation your
kids don't have a vacation that they can't share at school,
But don't let them feel bad for that. That's what
I'm trying to get at, Like tell them, hey, I've
(41:00):
had so much fun this summer with you. We've got
to do these things together, and you know, what's been
your favorite? Like talk to them, explain to them, have
them tell you what what has been fun for them
this summer. Our kids are in a spoiled world because
we do do a lot with them, but it's very weird.
Some are for them to not go, go go, But
(41:23):
it's okay, you know. And I'm saying these things out
lost that I'm telling myself like it's okay.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
I have to hear myself to process, right. Yeah. Yeah,
So anyway, I think that's it for this episode. Yeah,
I mean we're just like you can do hard things.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
You can try one step at a time, doesn't mean
you have to know the whole picture, what the next
you know, adventure is going to be or whatnot. Just
being obedient really does bring a lot of peace to
our life. And we live a very and I live
a very stressful, high pace life, and to peace is
(42:01):
just it's so breathworthy. It's just like, oh, it's just
it's a way to relax, honestly when you find peace.
And so just encouraging y'all with you can do hard
things too. Doesn't always mean they're easy, but try. Just
like we tell our kids, you don't know until you try,
and I'm sure you all tell your kids the same thing.
(42:22):
You don't know, you don't like that, you don't know,
you can't try that, you don't know you're good at that,
not good at that, because you have to try. So
whatever you're facing, just take a step.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Forward and try.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
And I feel like if you can seek a second
of prayer outside of your norm, that God will reach
you and you know, can grasp a hold of your
heart and praying that that will bring you peace and
have a fun summer no matter what you're doing.
Speaker 1 (42:51):

Question
So we live now in Friendswood, Texas. There is some
personal reasons when it comes to just like school dynamics.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
And it is okay to not have to prove anything
to our children. Yeah, just as much as our kids
don't have to prove anything to us, no matter what,
we love them and there's multiple ways to find joy.
Sitting on the porch yesterday watching them just play with
the neighbors, or play with chalk, or ride the scooters,
(00:31):
or Blake giving us stories about what happened today, like
those are joyful moment.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
We are a bit exhausted and worn out, and I
think we have crashed the last two nights we've been
in this house, and I feel like we wake up
and the bed is still made because neither one of
us like moved. By the way, we celebrated an anniversary yesterday. Yeah,
we kind of both forgot fort it.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I mean, there was so much going on obviously, I
completely lost track of even what day it was.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
I know, it was like, I know it's this week,
and oh yeah, I know it was like Todd's birthdays.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
The day before it was like high birthday Todd.
Speaker 2 (02:28):
I'm like, Okay, our anniversary is tomorrow, and then tomorrow
became today and I was like totally forgot. People were
texting me happy anniversary, so you and Adam, I'm like, oh, yeah,

our marriage next week.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
And next we're in Colorado. Yeah, going to Colorado Springs,
Colorado for an event event and slash anniversary time. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, I wish We could have just went out to
dinner or something last night, but we just had like
way too much stuff going on and both of us
are just completely exhausted.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
Yeah, and my body has been heard in like crazy
head a headache the other day day one moving in

Speaker 2 (04:10):
American meat delivery. But we're here, we're getting settled into
the new house. I feel like, you know, it's a
great house. The kids have already met like some friends
around the neighborhood, which is fun.
Speaker 4 (04:24):
And we're close to.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Like a little common park area that they can scooter
down there and ride their bikes or whatever. And yeah,
it's just really weird because everything is.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
Just like all over the place, you know, Like I
actually miss the neighborhood before.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
Yeah, like the ease of like you know where.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
We have houses that we're about to put on the market,
Like I missed the living and yeah, living in a
neighborhood where you can like our where are other houses?
Every acre is like on a lot. All the houses
are spread way apart. So it's like you lose that
connection with neighbors a little bit. Like we have some
very deep close relationship with a few neighbors, but still
(05:09):
it's like an effort to like go to their house
or something like that.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
You should just walk outside and you're like, oh, look
they're playing. Like our neighborhood didn't.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
It didn't even have like sidewalks because like it's just
private roads like everything's so spread out, and so I
missed back whenever we lived in our old house. The
old house, you can literally just like walk outside and
like there was always kids. You know, there's a neighbor
here and a neighbor here, and like kids riding around
and like on the sidewalks and stuff.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Like I missed that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Yeah, And I felt like when we found this house
kind of like when the other one fell through, and
like we found this one. It was like every time
I came out here, it was like always kids around.
There's kids always are illuminas, and there's kids always at
the park. There's kids always on bicycles, and it's like, yes,
you know a lot of them I would say are
mostly like the Quin's age. But you know, I think
(05:57):
once school starts up, Blake will be to like connect
find new community of friends.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
What she already has. So this week, Blake started tennis
camp for the new high school that she's gonna be
going to. You know, it's like their freshman tennis camp
for the actual school, and then next week is the
actual tryouts for the tennis team. It's given her the
opportunity to meet other other girls that are interested in
(06:25):
playing or are gonna play or gonna be trying out
and stuff like that, and so you know, every single
day she's been coming home like, oh, like I talked
to this girl her name was this, and like she's
really funny and like, you know, we get along and stuff,
and that's been awesome. Like I'm thankful that we're you know,
proactive and like putting her in that. So like she's
(06:47):
meeting kids and stuff like that already before you know,
obviously before she actually goes to high school.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Yeah, I asked her yesterday it was like or whatever,
day day one or day two. I was like, she said,
you know, these were a couple of the girls that
she met her names. I said, oh, did you're like
swamp numbers? And she's like what. I was like, you know,
like to be able to like text or talk to
your digits. She's like no, And I was like, oh,
too soon. Too soon.
Speaker 4 (07:14):
I don't want to look needy, mom, just like for friends.
Speaker 5 (07:19):
I don't know, I just feel like I don't know,
I don't know like what a like what like the icebreaker,
like hey, if you ever want to like play, you know,
like hey, let's get together and like we'll come up
and meet at the courts or something.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
I guess what you're like if I think about like,
if I'm in a situation where it's like new and
I feel like I connect, like with another woman or
mom or whatever, be like hey, like let's let me
get your number. We can do coffee or something like that.
But I guess as a teenager, it's like, you know,
you gotta like wait, you don't want to look desperate,
you don't.
Speaker 4 (07:50):
Want to look late. I don't know, it's just funny.
So I picked on her.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
I was like, oh, it's too soon to ask for numbers,
and she's like, I don't know, Mom, that's weird.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
And the quints, I mean it's crazy, Like what last
night they were out at the park till like almost
eight o'clock. You know, all the there's tons of little
girls on like our block where we live right now,
and there's probably I think the girls came home last
night and they're like there were twenty girls out there
(08:21):
and they were all having like a little like they
were selling cookies and stuff like that down at the
corner whatever at the park, and they came home they
were like.
Speaker 4 (08:29):
They made forty seven dollars and there was like twenty
girls there, and so they've been having a blast like
every evening, like even to the point they're all like
leave and go down and knock.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
On one of their neighbors doors that they just met.
The other day, we were unloading the cars and she
literally walks up to me, this little girl that she's
ten years old, just like the Quints, and she's like, Hi,
I live down the road at the at the corner.
I was like, oh, hold on, let me grab the girls,
Like I don't.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Know what's going on right here. Saw that there was
kids and girls. I've gotten to know. I've got five
ten year olds. Hold on just a second.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
And immediately the Clints were like, you want to come
in and play with girls? There's boxes everywhere, like our
house is a complete wreck, like we've literally just moved
boxes in moving in. She's like, y'all and the girls
were like, you want to come in and play? And
they're like playing hide and go seek and stuff around
boxes and like girls, but I mean, you don't play
(09:28):
somewhere else.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
I think I think there's a lot of people who
don't understand the reasoning and the process behind what we're
doing and why we're moving and like all these things,
and to a lot of people it doesn't make sense. Yeah,
and I mean, to be honest, it's not something that
we necessarily like really wanted to do, but we just
(09:52):
feel called and like led to do make this change.
And so I think we've had a lot of backlash
about like so mean of y'all take.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Your kids and uproot your kids.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
And I'm like, listen, we're not doing this just to
be like selfish parents or whatever. Like We're doing this
because we feel like God is like doing something within
all this, and so we're just trying to be obedient
to that.
Speaker 4 (10:15):
And so a lot of it's hard, and a lot
of people don't understand that. Like there's a lot of
people out there that don't under don't have like a
faith or understand.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Like hearing from God or and stuff like that. And
so you know, so instead of like wondering about that
or asking questions about like well, what does that really mean?
You know, they just they just like attack, like, oh, yeah,
that's a stupid answer. Like well, like for us, it's
very real, and it's and it's very and it's like
(10:48):
a very intimate and real like revelation that we've had
and so if you haven't had an experience like that,
of course, like it's probably easy to criticize that, but
like for us, it's like very very real, you know,
and we've had such a just like a confirmation and
a peace, you know, even just in a few days
that we've been here, like we've like had this confirmation
(11:11):
of like man, like the girls are going to do
great here. They've already met so many kids there.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
It was answered.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
It's I'm not gonna say like answered prayer, but it
felt like it was like one of those like God,
we see, like this is gonna be okay because it
is hard to even though you know, it's like something
like we want to do, we feel called to do.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
We want to make this change even.
Speaker 2 (11:34):
Though it is hard and we might not know why,
and we've been changing a lot of things in our life,
this this whole twenty twenty five year, but it just felt,
you know, like the night before I kind of was like,
oh gosh, start to like think is this the right
thing to do? Like should we be doing this like
(11:55):
already messing up? And I was like no, no, no,
don't let those thoughts go in through head. That's real,
Like we still have like those humanized like thoughts where
we still feel, even as a Christian, like these thoughts
of like second guessing things and like worry and fear
through those things. But so that next day when we
(12:16):
woke up and we were moving and all these the things,
like you know, everything was just going smooth and we
got in here, and that next day was you know,
the things that I like was concerned about was, you know,
I know, the Quins are going to adapt easy because
they do have each other and even going to school,
they'll have each other and whatnot. But then with Blake,
(12:39):
it's like it's a completely different school, different surrounding, different people.
I know, there's not going to be as many like
teenagers possibly around here, but kids, younger kids typically hang
out more in the streets as far as like riding
bikes and stuff like.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
That out in the streets.
Speaker 2 (12:56):
Yeah, you don't necessarily see a lot of teenagers just
like playing with chalk outside, you know. You know, I
just felt like that day that that first morning, like
taking Blake to like tennis, and she was really nervous.
She didn't want to go, but she wanted to go,
and she didn't like that like what's it going to be, Like,
who's going to be there, like the unknown? Right, I
(13:19):
told her, getting through something like this, it's so good
for you because it's going to show you that you
can overcome like a challenge.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
You know.
Speaker 2 (13:30):
And though not necessarily that she would have picked this,
but we as parents are you know, the the caretaker
provider and the decision making for the family, and they
have to you know, a company and adjust into the
decisions that we make mom and dad for what's best
(13:50):
for the family. And so just picking her up from
the first day and it was just like she had
a smile on her face and she's.
Speaker 4 (13:56):
Like, yeah, it's good, it's fun. You know, got a
couple of the girl's name, and.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
That just like was just like I just was hoping
that she could at least like connect or conversation, not
even necessarily connect, but just like conversate with other people
her age, And because I didn't know if she was
going to be like the shy blake and like not
want to talk to anybody or whatever, or if she
(14:23):
was going to feel comfortable. But you know, it's kind
of like when you're go somewhere, it's like as long
as you're doing activity. It gives you a reason to
be like communicate with a person right in some aspect,
whether oh that all was out or like in some
way if you're playing a sport together, you're going to
talk to each other. So that made me feel like, okay,
(14:44):
it was a She left with a smile and she
said it was hot, and then kind of the quin's
getting home and like you know, just meeting a little
girl and then just like playing on the street.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
It was just like.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
It made me exactly what you said, like miss the
old neighborhood where it was just like you literally can't
go outside without seeing somebody playing.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
You know.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
Yeah, so like our I don't know what to call
the house that we're about to sell, the old house,
league city house, the old house. This is the new
house right now. Yeah, but we never like had a porch,
Like this house has a porch and we have like
two chairs out there, and we just like sat out
on the porch for a little bit and just like
you know, people are out like walking and doing stuff
(15:29):
and like you just like see neighbors and stuff in
your wave and like.
Speaker 4 (15:34):
And I already met people that you know.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
It was just like this is so It's like it's
so weird because I feel like, until I've gotten here
that I've always wanted this type of community.
Speaker 4 (15:47):
Yeah, and I felt like we did have.
Speaker 2 (15:49):
Not that we didn't have community, but like we have
an amazing support and group of community in Leak City,
and but this one's different. It's likeke was saying today
that we was like, you know, the high school games
are so much funner and they're so different.
Speaker 4 (16:04):
Well that's what you know.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
A friend was saying, like, Yeah, it's because like the
town it's got like a high school, so the town
is like all in for the pep rallies. Like it's
like the community because.
Speaker 1 (16:18):
Like in Lake City there's like multiple high schools and
so it's like super subdivided and stuff. Well, here it's
like this entire town is like one.
Speaker 4 (16:29):
I feel like it's like so.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
The entire town just rallies around that school and there's
like so much more.
Speaker 2 (16:35):
Yeah, and I want to be able to be like
our kids, like be involved in how we grew up.
Speaker 4 (16:41):
Yeah, exactly's how we grew up.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
And so it reminds me of like more so Yeah,
because Lake Charles was the city, but we still had
a great high school as far as pep rallies and
football games, like all the games you know, Monst Bluff
and whatnot. It's a little bit more smaller. And so
that was the town was all purple and gold. So
(17:05):
I'm excited about what's to come and what the years
are going to look like and stuff.
Speaker 4 (17:10):
And so I was working my fingers out on the
keyboard registering six kids. It's always fun before, yeah, and
it's just I wish I could just say.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Copy paste, copy paste and change the name, change the
kids name. But once I did it in you know,
League City, and when everybody started kindergarten stuff, it's like
they're at least in the system. This is a completely
different school district. So I had to start completely all
the way over. So I'm like, okay, I got I
(17:44):
like got to get this done today. Now I have
crampy fingers from two hours of putting information in on
a computer. Yeah, but anyways, well we're going to take
a little break and shout out to our sponsor, Good Ranchers.
Speaker 1 (18:03):

in Texas. We've had the crazy flooding over in Central

so we are. We've got a lot to do in
the house.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
The kids are adjusting to like not really having like
TV and yet because well Adam hooked up the TV downstairs,
which was was good.
Speaker 4 (20:23):
We did watch a little bit of veg out a
little bit last night with the girls because Daniel what before.
Speaker 1 (20:31):
Okay, So so we're getting, you know, getting the house
ready to like move and stuff like that, and she
starts selling like on Facebook, marketplace or wherever she's selling it.
She starts up and selling like all this furniture.
Speaker 4 (20:45):
Yeah, so I don't have to move it, and so
and so we get into this house.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
We have.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
Like no dressers, nothing to put the TV on in
our room, Blake has no furniture.
Speaker 4 (20:58):
She has no furniture.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
Like Blake's been sleeping, Blake's been sleeping in Ava's bed
the last two nights because we're waiting on Blake's.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
Friends, which is actually Blake's bed, and so there's like
all this stuff.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
It's like because Danielle just sold everything, but then we
don't have this stuff here.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
So it's just like what.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I said, Like I said, I really don't feel like
we're at like an Airbnb and we're just like camping out.
Speaker 1 (21:20):
We don't have we don't have anything to put the
TV on in our room, and we don't have anywhere
to put our color. So like all of our clothes
are just like lined up along the wall in cardboard
boxes because we don't have any dressers or anything like that.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
We have a bed in our night stand, and so.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
There's nothing to put the TV on, so I haven't
even hooked that up. So literally we have one TV.
Speaker 4 (21:41):
We don't even need.
Speaker 2 (21:42):
We didn't even need the TV because it's like just
crash anyway, but the girls have a new sleeping situation
going on. It's just been really funny because like everybody
always asks like what are their personalities? Who gets along better?
YadA yadayada, and it always is changing, it really is.
And right now, Parker and Ava are like the butt
(22:04):
head girls. Does that make That doesn't really sound right?
Speaker 4 (22:07):
Doesn't? They butt heads the most? There you go, that's
that's saying it a little bit. They fight the most.
Let me just say they butt heads. They are not
butt heads. Yeah, that's what I've bet. That's what I meant.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Olivia and Hazel wanted to share room. I think they
are a little bit more where they like to do
the same things a little bit right now.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
But then Hazel and Parker has always roomed together. Yeah,
and so this time around.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
So when Olivia wanted to room with Hazel, I was like, okay,
well you Hazel and Parker can share room, and then
Riley and Ava will share a room. And Olivia said, no,
me and Hazel want to be and the two put
Parker with Ava.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Olivia, I mean Ava and Riley.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
I'm like, no, we cannot put Parker and Ava together
right now because all they do is fight with each other.
They antagonize each other, and so I was like, all right,
well if we're gonna put Parker over here, So we've
got Parker, Hazel, and Olivia in one room and they
have the quote unquote Love Shack Fancy Room Target version
(23:20):
Walmart version to come Riley in Ava. So Riley had
like a full sized bed in her room, which because
we would also use her room if like, you know,
company came over, they would use her room because it
was like the bigger bed. So when she got her
own room, it was like a bigger bed. For that reason,
it was like the spare room. But also, well we
(23:41):
need a bigger bed in there.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
I mean, this house is kind of like the setup
of the Mold House, except for this house doesn't have
like the media room and.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Didn't have it.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Yeah, and it's really like it's really like kind of
the same setup, same amount of rooms, same way we
can configured the girls. It was Blake has her room
and then there was two two in one room and
three in the other. Yeah, and so we went back
to that. And honestly, the only reason we ever put
Riley in her room by herself was like to show
(24:14):
that toddler stage where she was just like freaking all
over the place. She wakes up when the sun's up,
and when she wakes up, she wakes everybody up. Everybody
needs to be up. And so she went through that stage,
and so we went ahead and just put her in
her own.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
Room and then everybody better. Now she just you.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
Know, she wakes up and just kind of goes and
does her own things, doesn't wake everybody up. Yeah, and
so it's like, fine, we can.
Speaker 2 (24:37):
She's just a basic body when she was, I mean
she still is, but like a toddler face, Like she
didn't want to miss out on anything. So she made
sure she was the last one to go to sleep,
but she was the first one to wake up, and
then she'd wake everybody up because she didn't want to be.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
Up like that. But she just doesn't wake everybody up. Yeah,
So she still liked that.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
But so Blake has been asking for new bedroom furniture
for a while, and so I said, you know, when
we move, we'll go ahead and get you some new furniture.
We gave Ava that bed because I was like, well,
I'm not having to buy any of them new beds
because we already have beds for them. So it was like,
these rooms are pretty good size. So it's like, let's
(25:16):
just put Riley's bed and Blake's the both two full
beds in the one room, and Ava can just have
that bed, and oh my gosh, she's so excited to
have like a bigger bed. But right now Blake is
sleeping in that bed and Ava is either sharing the
bed with Riley or on the extra mattress for right
now because Blake's furniture doesn't come until like I think
Friday or something. Yeah, but anyway, it's a new dynamic
(25:39):
up here we're trying to get. You know. What's funny
is like the very first thing that the girls came
in their room, sorry, the first thing that they wanted
to take to the house was their stuffed animals. And
I'm like, oh my gosh, And our rule in the
house is if you get a new stuffed animal, you
have to get rid of five stuffed animals at home.
They're trying to so they have to really think about
(26:02):
and I'm like, you only get five, you only get
five stuff animals, Like that's what you're taking to this house.
Everything else is going away, it's going to donate or whatever.
So they each took a pile of you know, stuffed
animals over and that was the first thing that they
brought to this house. And then when we moved everything in,
what was the first thing they did. They had to
set up all their skincare. I'm like, shoe the bathroom.
(26:25):
This is ridiculous. This is more skincare and stuff than
I have. I'm like, why do we have? But that's
you know, it's the phase right now. They think they
need all that stuff. But I'm very particular about what
I actually let them put on their face, especially because
like they don't really need anything, you know, but it's
okay to play with and like whatever. But it's overwhelming
(26:48):
what's in there. We should should do like a video
or something and let them explain all the things in there,
because I wouldn't even know how to explain it. I'm like,
give me some mascar and limb gloss and concealer. I'm
good to go.
Speaker 1 (27:01):
Yeah. So the yeah, and then the other bedroom upstairs.
I commenteered for my office because there wasn't like a
formal office in this house. There's like a space down
there that they they called it an office, and it's
not an office.
Speaker 2 (27:18):
It's more like a formal sitting room, which so I
kind of feel like, you know.
Speaker 1 (27:24):
If there's nowhere to like have privacy or like yeah
you can't. You walk in the front door and it's
right to the left, and then it's open to the
stairs and it's opened all the way to the ceiling.
Like that's not an office, that's like a seating room.
Speaker 4 (27:37):
Yeah, but I like it. I had to just.
Speaker 1 (27:40):
Take one of the bedrooms upstairs. And so that's why
we have the girls three too, and then they have
a huge playroom.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
Yeah. So and we still haven't like set that up.
We got all the school dusk and stuff in there.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
We're gonna still got a couple of things to do
in the League City house and get it cleaned.
Speaker 4 (27:56):
And yeah, we got it.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
We got like stage two of the move, which is
everything that needs to go to storage, like stuff that
we don't storage.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
And there's so much donates. There will be a lot
of donate stuff. I think I'm actually gonna get a
company to come pick up all those donations. There's just
should there's so much of it.
Speaker 1 (28:14):
Much trailer yeah, and so yeah, like probably over this
weekend or whatever, we're gonna have to just go over
there and like start packing more stuff and like stage
stuff to just like go straight to and kind of
do it in a methodical manner to where like some
stuff we need to be able to get to some stuff,
it's just like put it to the back. So we
(28:35):
just need to figure that out so that we can
get the house fully cleaned and then just ready to
put on the market.
Speaker 4 (28:41):
Yep, and close that chapter.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
I mean a lot of people ask like where we've moved,
and we've talked about, you know, moving to this area.
So yeah, it is just like an adjacent town, but
more of the reasoning behind like why we moved here
was just more of a holistic it's more of like
a close knit, close knit, smaller community over here. It's
kind of landlocked. It's not really growing any much more.
(29:07):
Everything that we've ever heard from everybody that lives here
is just like the dynamic here in this community is
so different, and we're like, that's like I feel like
that's what's God. God is like pushing us to is
like more to focus on raising our family like that,
and then we find this community and you know, we've
been learning about more and more about everything here over
(29:30):
the last year so we live now in Friendswood, Texas,
and we moved here. It's five minutes from Good Ranchests headquarters.
And also we have a lot of friends over here. Yeah,
I mean it's you know, a lot of people are like, why,
like why did you even put the girls through all
(29:50):
that just to move like thirty minutes away. It's more
than just pulling them out of school. I mean it
was just you know, we we had some there is
some personal reasons when whenever it comes to just like
school dynamics and you know, everything that's going on there
that we haven't like fully like kind of dove into
(30:11):
or talked about here just because like we don't want
to like disparage you know, anything going on that happened
back home. But you know, there is a little bit
more to the holistic of like why we moved here
that we may or may not share in the future.
Speaker 4 (30:26):
But and that's okay.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
That's for us to have and you know, it's it's
okay for us to like not share every single detail
of every single thing. I don't feel like we owe
that to everyone. I think the biggest thing is we
believe that God was directing us to this area whether
you believe that or not, that's fine. That's what we believe,
and you know, and we're perfectly okay with that.
Speaker 4 (30:51):
Our kids are doing well over here.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
I mean, obviously it's going to go through you know,
changes here and there, but you know, they've already made
like a ton of friends and we're still we're still
figuring it out.
Speaker 4 (31:03):
You know, it's it's completely new.
Speaker 1 (31:05):
Yeah, I mean that's you know, for this episode, episode
forty two, we just kind of wanted to give like
a little bit bit of an update, show you that
we were in a new space.
Speaker 4 (31:15):
We still have a lot to do. Yeah, And to those.
Speaker 2 (31:19):
Who are wrestling with some life changes or a big
step towards something, or fear in a direction or uncertainty,
sometimes sometimes we let like the fear and the uncertainty
keep us from going forward. A lot of times, there's
(31:40):
certain things in life that like we just can't control.
But if you think about what we can control, quote unquote,
what we can control is okay, okay, you don't.
Speaker 4 (31:50):
Have to move, We don't have to move.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, but there's something deep within us that we feel
like God is guiding us towards and we know that
whatever is going to come towards following that path will
be honoring and like for His glory, and like that's
the life that we want to pursue and live. And
though we don't know what is to come, that is scary.
(32:15):
There is some fear behind that, but the joy of
knowing that this feels right in following His guidance, that
brings us more comfort than the fear does of it.
And so just to encourage, you know, those who may
be stepping into like a phase or they're a in
(32:38):
a life change of like I don't know what to
do now or what is here, or I feel like
I need to make a change, but I don't know
where to go or where to start. You know, for
us as Christians, my counsel is scripture and like prayer
time and really going back and like looking through my
(32:58):
journal and like what are things that I've been praying
about and just kind of like trying to see likes
is God showing us things that we don't know? But
if I look back and time even like just think
about ten years ago, five years ago, it's like I
can see what God's done in our life. And sometimes
you just don't know that right in the moment and
(33:18):
so just really kind of like meditate on what is
it that you want, what is it that you feel
like you could do, what is God leading you towards,
and seek scripture for that because that really really can
bring light to your situation. You know, there's always I
think I shared a verse with a friend this week
(33:39):
about there can be sorrow, but there's also still joy
within that, Like we can still be sad, we can
still have those emotions over a situation or over a
life change, but no matter what, we still can have
joy following you know, the steps of like obedience, it's
(34:02):
so hard. It's so hard, especially for someone like me
who is like a controller and likes to control things.
It's such a hard thing to like let go and
just to like follow and be obedient.
Speaker 4 (34:14):
But there's so much when you get to those milestone
marks of like you were obedient to this and you
followed through. Like the reward is so good. It's so rewarding.
Speaker 2 (34:28):
And there's nothing that I would say that I could
show forarder or to do how to explain it, but
it's just this sense of peace and that piece is
rewarding because it's kind of like a I did it,
and I don't know what we did kind of right,
because it's like we're trying to be obedient, but like
I didn't necessarily do anything. I just A'm trying to
(34:50):
be obedient, you know. I think our biggest thing in
life is to remain joyful. And I think what during
this season of like life change this year, our hearts
are just continuing to stay open to like what is
next because every little thing and trial that has come
in front of us this year, we have sought our
(35:11):
faith to say, like what do we do in this situation?
Speaker 4 (35:13):
God? And as long as we stick with that path,
Not that it's been easy, it's been peace through every step, Yeah,
that has been overcome. And like that's the life that
I want to live, is like a life of peace
and joy. For those that don't understand that, I get
it because I was too once that years and years
(35:36):
ago before I became a Christian.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I mean, it's easy to criticize something that you just
don't understand, yeah, until you've really like experienced that and
felt that, like you just don't know, and so all
you know is just like, oh I don't understand that,
and so you criticize. But we've lived it, and we've
experienced God and such just miraculous and very personal ways
(36:01):
over the years, just through many aspects of our journey
where you know, we know, we know whenever God's speaking
and God's moving in our life and God's directing us.
You know, sometimes it's hard sometimes like we don't want
to push, but you know, we're in this season. We're like, okay,
(36:22):
like this is going to be crazy, but like we'll
go and yeah, you know, until you until you've really
experienced that, like you're just you know, it is scary,
and it is it does sound crazy to some people.
Speaker 2 (36:36):
And just also like the thought of like what is
joy to you and how do you fulfill that? You know,
and I think, you know, we're in this. Something I've
struggled with, like over the summer is that, like, man,
I just feel like we're not utilizing our summer to
the capability of of like what are kids quote unquote need,
(37:02):
which means what they want and what we are used
to doing. And it's on the go and having fun
here and seeing this and adventure there and adventure there.
And you know, God's really been just saying like just
stop and slow down. I've had to like be reminded
multiple times, like though they might not have like this overarching,
(37:22):
like huge vacation that they got to seek this summer,
we want them to know that, like this summer, we
have just as much joy as we would have had
out on a beach somewhere because we have been seeking
God through this whole summer, not that we haven't in
the past, but we've just been seeking it differently.
Speaker 4 (37:43):
And you know, the kids like, are we gonna go here?
Are we going to go there?
Speaker 2 (37:47):
And you know, there's a little bit of like the
parent in me that says, like, man, this sucks that
we're not taking them here, we're taking them there. We're
doing these things, but I don't want them to think
that these are bad decisions, right, So having to communicate
with the kids and tell them like, you know, this
season and this summer, like this is what we feel
(38:08):
God wants for us, and it's we're still going to
have as much fun as we can and we're still
going to have so much joy, but it's going to
take a little bit of time for us to get
to the summer that you think that you might have
or that you're used to, you know, And so telling
the kids that just because it's summer, it doesn't mean
like we have to go all out in a different
(38:29):
country or city or like vacation. You know.
Speaker 4 (38:32):
It's just different this summer.
Speaker 2 (38:33):
And I'm saying that because I've seen right.
Speaker 1 (38:37):
Before the end of the school year, we took them
to Orlando. Yeah, and we we had like a really
big trip like right before school ended.
Speaker 4 (38:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (38:46):
And they'll have another trip like of like going to
splash Wear like something close by.
Speaker 1 (38:51):
But I'm just saying we don't normally do that, so
like they did get like a trip this year.
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Yeah, But I'm usually I'm saying this to the parents
because we get a lot of flat too on y'all
are always going you're always doing these things, what you know.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Oh, but it's like damned if you do damned if
you try too. Because like but whenever we go do stuff,
people criticize us because we always go and we're always traveling.
But then we when we don't, it's like, how dare
you like not do anything with your kids this summer?
And so it's like you can't win with like half
(39:27):
the people on social media, so like give up just
trying to.
Speaker 2 (39:31):
I mean, it's just yeah, and it's not like we're
proving anything to them. We're literally living our lives and
sharing our lives and criticize however you want, but it's
not necessarily gonna so change the way that we whatever
think about what social media needs to see from us,
you know, And we're definitely not going to change who
(39:51):
we are for the fact of criticism. Yeah, in that situation.
But I'm saying this to parents out there because I
do have a lot of moms you follow me. I
do have a lot of moms that are single moms
or stay at home moms, or they don't have family around,
or they don't have help with their kids, and they
don't have the means to do X, Y and z.
It's okay. It's okay to stay home and to find
(40:14):
joy within the house. And you know, look back on
COVID years where we were all strainded and didn't have
places to go, where things to do. You were stuck
in your home. Like I just I want you to
know that you don't have to feel bad for not
having the vacation of the summer with your kids, but
let them know how you find joy and how you're
(40:38):
finding joys. So like if they like I think about
like the kids are going to go back to school
and it's gonna be like, Okay, what it was your
funnest thing or what did you enjoy this summer? You know,
like it's okay that you don't have a vacation your
kids don't have a vacation that they can't share at school,
But don't let them feel bad for that. That's what
I'm trying to get at, Like tell them, hey, I've
(41:00):
had so much fun this summer with you. We've got
to do these things together, and you know, what's been
your favorite? Like talk to them, explain to them, have
them tell you what what has been fun for them
this summer. Our kids are in a spoiled world because
we do do a lot with them, but it's very weird.
Some are for them to not go, go go, But
(41:23):
it's okay, you know. And I'm saying these things out
lost that I'm telling myself like it's okay.
Speaker 4 (41:29):
I have to hear myself to process, right. Yeah. Yeah,
So anyway, I think that's it for this episode. Yeah,
I mean we're just like you can do hard things.
Speaker 2 (41:40):
You can try one step at a time, doesn't mean
you have to know the whole picture, what the next
you know, adventure is going to be or whatnot. Just
being obedient really does bring a lot of peace to
our life. And we live a very and I live
a very stressful, high pace life, and to peace is
(42:01):
just it's so breathworthy. It's just like, oh, it's just
it's a way to relax, honestly when you find peace.
And so just encouraging y'all with you can do hard
things too. Doesn't always mean they're easy, but try. Just
like we tell our kids, you don't know until you try,
and I'm sure you all tell your kids the same thing.
(42:22):
You don't know, you don't like that, you don't know,
you can't try that, you don't know you're good at that,
not good at that, because you have to try. So
whatever you're facing, just take a step.
Speaker 4 (42:31):
Forward and try.
Speaker 2 (42:32):
And I feel like if you can seek a second
of prayer outside of your norm, that God will reach
you and you know, can grasp a hold of your
heart and praying that that will bring you peace and
have a fun summer no matter what you're doing.
