Happy Mother’s Day to this rockstar! Beach days, polar express, monster jam, and all the daily things @ashleydakota puts her heart into for our little guy mean more than I could ever pay back. We love you!
FIVE // Someone please tell me how to stop time?
The little bestie is FIVE today and I'm unwell. 🥹
My Ellis Jay - you are the funniest, most athletic (!!), kind hearted, silliest, and best little bestie I could ever have asked for. You teach me daily to challenge limits (lol), strive for great things, compete with heart, and that one human can seem like they're caffeinated without caffeine?! (send help sos)
@jabbaum and I would like to slow down time but we are also so ready for our elementary school era 🤍
We love you #ellisjaybaum. Happy fifth!
PS scroll to the end for a LOL. 🐈 Yes, I did order this school photo option 🤣
TEN // It's hard to put into words and wrap my head around it, but happy tenth wedding anniversary to my guy, @jabbaum .
We've weathered a lot of storms; probably have aged more than ten years; and added a family member #ellisjaybaum, but the love remains the same. We were just kids back in 2015. And a part of me is so grateful for the life we've lived together these 14 years.
Cheers to another 10 and to the life we are building every day. 🤍🫶🏻
P.S. A lot of our couples have gotten to meet Jake this year at weddings! That tall guy I boss around and flies the drone is one and the same. 🫶🏻 Grateful to be operating as husband and wife at weddings these days!
DADS // To the dads.
@jabbaum - for quite literally being the best dad Ellis and I could ask for. Selfless, fun, always up for an adventure. You’re our rockstar, and quite literally, my rock most (read: all) days.
my dad in heaven - thank you for raising me with a kind and gentle love. For packing my lunches and driving me to school every single day. For hanging during summer breaks, and teaching me about football. Miss you every day. ❤️
My FIL - thank you for raising the man that I love and help him become the father he is. Thankful to have a bonus dad these days too!
To all the dads - the heroes in the eyes of the kiddos. The selfless, strong unrelenting love. The leadership and guidance. You all are the best! 🤍 Happy dad’s day!! #fathersday #bestdad #bestdadever #heavenlyfathersday #fathersday2025❤️ #fatherinlaw
FOUR // Our favorite little man is FOUR and we are in awe of time and who he's becoming.
My little angel. Our little athlete. The little comedian. The all star breakdancer. The basketball superfan. The nonstop tornado. Our train conductor. And my little bestie.
From his arrival four years ago in the early hours of the morning, following a dramatic pregnancy, I still maintain that he saved me. This little man has taught me more about life, love, patience, timing, and the grandness of it all, on top of helping discover serious health issues that may have never been uncovered.
Happy birthday to my favorite little guy, our Ellis Jay. 🤍

2025 // happy new year from the baums 🫶🏻 here's to more peace, more love, and more productivity.

time to rock it in 2025 ✨
