Stop.
Hold up.
Stop scrolling!!
Only read AHEAD if you’re playing ‘HOT CHOCOLATE’ from Poler Express on Spotify! 😉
Jonah wanted to do a hot chocolate stand. I thought it sounded cold.
Jonah wanted me to make the sign. I told him I would if he would help.
I strongly believe in creating outlets to support our kids dreams, so I threw on a coat, changed my attitude + stopped saying no.
Jack hogging the hand warmers ^ ^

Jonah brought the supply list to Bowman’s + took the lead on pushing the cart + gathering items!
It was pretty rainy, but we were committed and weren’t about to back down now.
They scouted the best spot on the lawn to set up + carried out the chairs, table, treats, etc.
I remember legitimately debating where to put the balloons!
I AM OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE KIDS + THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH TO CREATE A HOT CHOCOLATE STAND.
My Aunt Nyla owns gas stations in Logan + we love stopping through the drive thru made ziploc baggies of treats for people who wanted it.
They had a steady line once that after work rush hit.
Even though it was cold, this was an afternoon that I’ll never forget.
I thought they’d last a couple of hours maaaaybe? NOPE!
I had to beg them to come in after SIX HOURS!
The Whittier boys came + helped, which made it extra memorable.
The boys split the earnings. Any guesses how much they made?!
Coy works with Jon now + to be honest, they feel more like family than anything short.
We celebrated with homemade pizza + a trip to Crystal Hot Springs.
I didn’t lose my phone this time! 🙂
They begged to stay out longer every time I went to check in.
Rigg didn’t ever come in for anything but more water. Nope, not even to pee.
But once Coy + Jon came home from work, we added a clean up fee into their hot cocoa price + made them shut it down.
biggest supporter when it comes to chasing their dreams.
Here’s to saying yes to more of the little things that are easily overlooked or brushed off to a later date.
Their dreams are my dreams + together we’re becoming the best people we can be!
