Tony Hoffman

Tony Hoffman is professional speaker who travels the United States to share his story about addiction and how he overcame that horrific disease. 

Tony was a professional BMX rider who was on the cover of magazines and lost everything because of addiction. 

He's been friends with my brother for years and he came to Genoa to speak!! 

My mom and I were able to attend. It was amazing. 

These success stories give me so much hope for the future. 

 

Pentatonix!

Ava and I traveled to Columbus a few years ago for the Pentatonix concert. 

We absolutely loved it and rated it as one of our top favorite experiences!! So...we talked the rest of the family into goin this year. 

Addy was so excited! Like so excited!! 

A quick, and I mean super quick, dinner in the hotel lobby before we walked over to the venue. 

We had amazing seats! 

The concert was incredible. Everyone LOVED it. I will go back every year to see them. 

Since we were in Columbus, we couldn't head back without a breakfast with Uncle Carl. 

Always a good time!

 

Anyone Need A Babysitter?

Addy took a two part babysitting course offered through our church. 

She spent one day shadowing the kids and playing with them and the next week, she took the classroom version and earned herself a little certificate! 

She is very excited to get started! 

 

2023 Soccer Banquet

We celebrated Ava's soccer season with an end of the year banquet. 

It was so fun! 

There was a bloopers video and everyone laughed so hard. Ava was on the ground more than most people. Haha! 

It was fun to see the awards and watch each of these girls. 

I couldn't be more prouder of their accomplishments! 

They had the 2nd winningest record in school history and beat Lake soccer for the first time ever in the coach's career. I cannot wait to see the next three years!! 

My girls

From a little peanut at her first game to her first Varsity letter.

I'm so incredibly proud of her.
