Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Who knew when I said ā€œyesā€ to judging #MissTXUSA that I would have one of the most enjoyable weekends I’ve had in a long time! Will, the director (and a friend), selected an incredible panel of judges who not only collaborated to find the best contender for the Miss USA title, but people who would truly enjoy being around each other for the process. I mean… what judges panel plans reunion trips!? 😜

Texas doesn’t play when it comes to pageants. These girls BROUGHT IT! From their hair/makeup, swimsuit bodies and gowns that deserve spots on the Miss Universe stage, Texas is a powerhouse! It was so thrilling meeting each of the young ladies vying for the title and I feel very confident in our choice, @misstxusa! 

And the weekend wasn’t all work. Across the street from our hotel was a restaurant serving my indulgent favorites…. Raw oysters and caviar! So yes, I treated myself to that… and a nap afterward. And it was glorious. šŸ™ŒšŸ»

Bye, for now, Houston! šŸ‘‹ Headed back to my favorite boys… āœˆļø

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Finally a chance for the grownups to be… grownups. Headed off for a fun holiday party with my handsome date. ā¤ļø
Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Another magical vacation with the boys. The last time we visited, Charlie was too little to enjoy the beach much, but this trip, he was in his element! (Check out the video of him Zen-ing out while watching the waves) It was magic watching the boys play for hours in the sand and waves. We saw a lot of friends from back home, and even made a few new friends that we hope to stay in contact with. šŸ’•

Congratulations to the new titleholders!! It was another fantastic pageant with exceptional young ladies competing!! I know the girls wearing the crowns tonight will make our state proud at nationals!

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Two things I love… a reason to get dressed up and a good Christmas party! šŸ™ŒšŸ»

Edited to add that Bodhi was our little photographer here. Not too bad for a 5 year old!
Shandi Finnessey Instagram - We attended the Christmas service at our church tonight. Funny getting all dressed up and then getting in the car to leave and Tofu hanging by the window. My two worlds of ā€œfancyā€ and ā€œfarmerā€ colliding in that moment. 

For the record, Finn took this picture of me by our tree. He’s become quite the photographer. He literally snaps one pic then says ā€œBoom. One and done.ā€ 😜

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - A little peek into a very special time together with incredible friends for spring break. We are so blessed to have made such deep friendships here in Tennessee! We spent a week with 2 other wonderful families in Florida and couldn’t have had a more magical time! Our kids played and bonded in ways we never expected, and for the first time since having kids, we returned from a vacation feeling relaxed and restored. šŸ™ŒšŸ» (All you parents out there know what I’m talk about… when you feel like you need a vacation from your vacation!)

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - I love date nights with this one. 🄰
Shandi Finnessey Instagram - I love date nights with this one. 🄰
Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Date night with the hubs. We’ve only been together for 11 years, married for 9… but we’ve done SO MUCH in that amount of time! We’ve moved 3 times, bought 2 homes (one of which moved us across the country), had 3 babies, bought 10,000 fur babies (ok, not quite but it seems like it at times!), learned to become farmers (sorta) and a half dozen other things. So when he plans a night out at the opera for us, it’s more than just a ā€œdate night.ā€ It’s a reminder that despite all the craziness in our lives, at the end of the day, we still choose each other. (And when we get into a fit of giggles during a serious part in the opera, it’s a reminder than we never laugh as hard as we do when we are together)

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - My sweet boys. šŸ’• Being a boy mom means I usually have a few bruises somewhere on my body that I don’t know how I got, I can find a baseball glove or a soccer ball somewhere in the house in under 3 minutes, I always have an assortment of snacks within arms reach and I’m never without someone wanting cuddles or kisses at any time of day or night. Our days are full of action and super heroes, and our hearts are full of love. 

This afternoon we invited Finn’s 1st grade class over for a Back to School party so we could meet the kids he spends every week day with and their parents. The kids were all adorable and LOVED meeting our pasture pets. šŸ’–

After everyone left, our family had pizza in our pavilion for dinner and I was listening to Finn and Bodhi have the sweetest conversation.

Finn : Bodhi… who do you have a crush on? Jovie??
Bodhi : Huh? No. My biggest crush is Mommy. 

🄰🄰🄰

I love being a boy mom. I get to have FOUR guys in my life that think I’m just the bees knees. ✨
Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Anyone else wine and cheesed out?? It’s this time of year where between the 26th and the 31st, it’s all one big blur and then suddenly it’s the last day of the year and you really double down on the cheese and wine but only because you made lots of New Year’s resolutions about cutting back on cheese and wine so you have you last big push to make it to the next year. So que sera… I got this. šŸ‘Š Final push till 2024 and all the resolutions!
Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Today was a perfect way to spend a hot summer day! So proud of the little legs to make the long hike down to the waterfall. We are finally in the ā€œsweet spotā€ of little kids when they aren’t completely helpless 😜 and we can do things like go on a 3 mile hike without carrying sacks of potatoes most of the way. Excited to have more hiking adventures in our future!

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Today marks 21 days of fasting (led by our church) coming to a close! šŸ™ŒšŸ» We gave up coffee and wine and breakfast and lunch… and just had one meal a day, dinner. To celebrate the end, we gathered with our small group from church for a giant FEAST! And delicious WINE!! And let me tell you… it was GLORIOUS! But, there was a moment when we wondered if we would even be able to get out of our driveway, due to all the snow and ice still lingering. Thanks to Ben’s giant truck and staying off of our driveway, WE MADE IT! šŸ™ŒšŸ»

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - I’m obsessed with our Santa pics this year. He spent so much time with each boy… asking how their year was, if they’re liking school, what they want for Christmas (Bodhi and Finn said ā€œtime machinesā€ so yeah, good luck with that one, Santa). Christmas time is  just pure magic! Nothing quite like seeing the holidays through the eyes of a child.

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - It’s always a good idea to go to the fair when it’s in town! Today was so much fun!! Charlie got to ride his first ride… ever! And my dad and I almost tossed our cookies on the pirate ship. But the highlight of the fair was watching Charlie eat his twisty cone. Seriously… check it out… (you’re welcome).

Oh! And I entered one of my chicken eggs in the ā€œoddest eggā€ contest and won a second place ribbon. Sadly, my honey didn’t win… as I had to transfer the honey to a different container last minute (it’s a long story) and in the process, it got 2 air bubbles in it… which isn’t good. You don’t want any air bubbles in the honey. Hoping for a ribbon placement next year!

You don’t want any air bubbles in the honey. Hoping for a ribbon placement next year!
Shandi Finnessey Instagram - It’s always a good idea to go to the fair when it’s in town! Today was so much fun!! Charlie got to ride his first ride… ever! And my dad and I almost tossed our cookies on the pirate ship. But the highlight of the fair was watching Charlie eat his twisty cone. Seriously… check it out… (you’re welcome).

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - Easter weekend. Good from beginning till the end. šŸ’• Can’t believe we go back to the swing of ā€œreal lifeā€ tomorrow morning. Long weekends are good for the soul but make you forget about real life responsibilities. šŸ¤·ā€ā™€ļø

Shandi Finnessey Instagram - I love our sweet little charming town. šŸ’› Every year, we make sure we are in town for the Buttercup Festival, which is the cutest small town spring celebration you could imagine… filled with food trucks, vendors, bounce houses, games for kids to play, face painters, balloons, snow cones… you name it! And, of course, the sweet little Miss Buttercup pageant, which I had the honor of judging this year. 🌼 So blessed to call this place ā€œhome.ā€ 🄰
Shandi Finnessey - 1.2K Likes - Who knew when I said ā€œyesā€ to judging #MissTXUSA that I would have one of the most enjoyable weekends I’ve had in a long time! Will, the director (and a friend), selected an incredible panel of judges who not only collaborated to find the best contender for the Miss USA title, but people who would truly enjoy being around each other for the process. I mean… what judges panel plans reunion trips!? 😜

Texas doesn’t play when it comes to pageants. These girls BROUGHT IT! From their hair/makeup, swimsuit bodies and gowns that deserve spots on the Miss Universe stage, Texas is a powerhouse! It was so thrilling meeting each of the young ladies vying for the title and I feel very confident in our choice, @misstxusa! 

And the weekend wasn’t all work. Across the street from our hotel was a restaurant serving my indulgent favorites…. Raw oysters and caviar! So yes, I treated myself to that… and a nap afterward. And it was glorious. šŸ™ŒšŸ»

Bye, for now, Houston! šŸ‘‹ Headed back to my favorite boys… āœˆļø

(Check out the video of him Zen-ing out while watching the waves) It was magic watching the boys play for hours in the sand and waves. We saw a lot of friends from back home, and even made a few new friends that we hope to stay in contact with. šŸ’•

Edited to add that Bodhi was our little photographer here. Not too bad for a 5 year old!

Shandi Finnessey - 507 Likes - We attended the Christmas service at our church tonight. Funny getting all dressed up and then getting in the car to leave and Tofu hanging by the window. My two worlds of ā€œfancyā€ and ā€œfarmerā€ colliding in that moment. 

For the record, Finn took this picture of me by our tree. He’s become quite the photographer. He literally snaps one pic then says ā€œBoom. One and done.ā€ 😜

We spent a week with 2 other wonderful families in Florida and couldn’t have had a more magical time! Our kids played and bonded in ways we never expected, and for the first time since having kids, we returned from a vacation feeling relaxed and restored. šŸ™ŒšŸ» (All you parents out there know what I’m talk about… when you feel like you need a vacation from your vacation!)

We’ve moved 3 times, bought 2 homes (one of which moved us across the country), had 3 babies, bought 10,000 fur babies (ok, not quite but it seems like it at times!), learned to become farmers (sorta) and a half dozen other things. So when he plans a night out at the opera for us, it’s more than just a ā€œdate night.ā€ It’s a reminder that despite all the craziness in our lives, at the end of the day, we still choose each other. (And when we get into a fit of giggles during a serious part in the opera, it’s a reminder than we never laugh as hard as we do when we are together)

Shandi Finnessey - 361 Likes - My sweet boys. šŸ’• Being a boy mom means I usually have a few bruises somewhere on my body that I don’t know how I got, I can find a baseball glove or a soccer ball somewhere in the house in under 3 minutes, I always have an assortment of snacks within arms reach and I’m never without someone wanting cuddles or kisses at any time of day or night. Our days are full of action and super heroes, and our hearts are full of love. 

This afternoon we invited Finn’s 1st grade class over for a Back to School party so we could meet the kids he spends every week day with and their parents. The kids were all adorable and LOVED meeting our pasture pets. šŸ’–

After everyone left, our family had pizza in our pavilion for dinner and I was listening to Finn and Bodhi have the sweetest conversation.

Finn : Bodhi… who do you have a crush on? Jovie??
Bodhi : Huh? No. My biggest crush is Mommy. 

🄰🄰🄰

I love being a boy mom. I get to have FOUR guys in my life that think I’m just the bees knees. ✨

To celebrate the end, we gathered with our small group from church for a giant FEAST! And delicious WINE!! And let me tell you… it was GLORIOUS! But, there was a moment when we wondered if we would even be able to get out of our driveway, due to all the snow and ice still lingering. Thanks to Ben’s giant truck and staying off of our driveway, WE MADE IT! šŸ™ŒšŸ»

He spent so much time with each boy… asking how their year was, if they’re liking school, what they want for Christmas (Bodhi and Finn said ā€œtime machinesā€ so yeah, good luck with that one, Santa). Christmas time is  just pure magic! Nothing quite like seeing the holidays through the eyes of a child.

Christmas time is just pure magic! Nothing quite like seeing the holidays through the eyes of a child.

And my dad and I almost tossed our cookies on the pirate ship. But the highlight of the fair was watching Charlie eat his twisty cone. Seriously… check it out… (you’re welcome).

Oh! And I entered one of my chicken eggs in the ā€œoddest eggā€ contest and won a second place ribbon. Sadly, my honey didn’t win… as I had to transfer the honey to a different container last minute (it’s a long story) and in the process, it got 2 air bubbles in it… which isn’t good. You don’t want any air bubbles in the honey. Hoping for a ribbon placement next year!

Shandi Finnessey - 223 Likes - I love our sweet little charming town. šŸ’› Every year, we make sure we are in town for the Buttercup Festival, which is the cutest small town spring celebration you could imagine… filled with food trucks, vendors, bounce houses, games for kids to play, face painters, balloons, snow cones… you name it! And, of course, the sweet little Miss Buttercup pageant, which I had the honor of judging this year. 🌼 So blessed to call this place ā€œhome.ā€ 🄰
