This one is a two parter
Part one: All 180 notes to Bodhi for his 2023-24 school year. 4th grade was a big one for B, @kstylers , & me. But mostly for Bodhi, because his journey took him to a new school, with new friends (and some old ones), and other new challenges.
If these notes brought you joy throughout the year, know they brought me joy making them…and they especially made Bodhi smile, laugh, and feel special.
Thanks for going on this journey with us! More to come in 5th grade!
❤️❤️❤️

Here it is, Bodhi’s 1,000th note! The fact that I’ve been making these since he started preschool is mind blowing! This is a little behind the scenes/tribute vid I made. The actual note is in the next post. Hope this brings a smile to your face and adds some joy to your day. Btw, @timkubart ’s “Day One” is the perfect song to sum up all those feels you have watching your kid grow. ❤️ Cheers to 1,000 & unlimited more to come!

I’ve been asked, “Have you really written over 1,000 notes to you son?” This video will answer that question. It started in preschool and B’s now finishing up 3rd grade! 🤯
❤️❤️❤️
Btw, @timkubart ’s song “Day One” is the perfect song to capture all the feels I have when writing to Bodhi. Thank you Tim 🙏❤️

My gig last night at Universal Bar & Grill was a lot of fun! Having my friends turn out made it even more memorable! Grateful for y’all! 🙏 Btw, thanks Max for the “action shots” on stage! 🤘❤️
Pretty rad to find out that @people credited (and linked) our interview with Laura San Giacomo in their retrospective article on Pretty Woman!
📼🤯📼
Seven years into this, we are still very much an indie podcast. So when we get recognized by a legendary publication like People, it’s kind of a big deal! Btw, if you haven’t checked out our interview with LSG, you should! 😘

Billy Idol! And Ernest!

❤️❤️❤️
“Hi Bodhi,
It’s me, Ernest! My good buddy Billy Idol stopped by to say, “In the midnight hour Bodhi, you did great on your Passion Project! I learned a lot about mini-figs because of you! It made me wanna dance with myself before I went to a White Wedding! Weird thing is the bride had “eyes without a face!” Kinda freaky! Anyways, great job on your project! School’s almost out for the summer and you’re closing out the year, “hot in the city tonight!!” That’s right, Billy! And Bodhi-man, don’t worry about K-9…Monday is gonna be crazy in the Red Dimension! But it’ll be ok! Know what I mean?”
❤️❤️❤️
TGIF, homie! Ernest & Billy Idol are right! We can’t say enough positive things about your project! Woo Hoo! Take that joyfulness and let it start your weekend on the right note! Btw, Billy Idol’s lyrics are a lil’ sus. Glad he’s on our side and not Dark Dungeon Masters!
❤️❤️❤️
“Hi Bodhi! It’s me, Bill! Did you hear about the guy who was afraid of hurdles? He got over it. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
❤️❤️❤️
Have a “Dancin’ with myself!” - tastic day!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, & The Crew!

The Wolves distract the Tall Man!
05-14-26, Day 161, Note: 1634
❤️❤️❤️
“Hi Bodhi
It’s me, Reg-Man…that Tall Dude and his nasty friends are pretty crafty, but we are too. As they were getting the upper hand on us last week, I called in a favor to my buddies Wolves of Glendale. They agreed to play a gig here at Outpost 31. Their music is so catchy & funny, it totally distracted the Tall Guy and gross gang. So we’re running as fast as we can to get to K-9 in the Red Dimension and set things right before it’s too late. Wish us luck! Btw, you’ve got the heart of a lion and you’re a miracle of science! And you passed the pasta test!”
❤️❤️❤️
The Wolves are distracting the Tall Man, homie?! That’s amazing! Guess it’s easier to get distracted than we thought. Just make sure you stay focused at school and keep being a good listener! Only 19 days left in 6th grade!
❤️❤️❤️
“Hi Bodhi! It’s me, Bill! How did the piano get locked out of its house? It lost it’s keys. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
❤️❤️❤️
Have a “This is the part where you run away!” - tastic day!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, & The Crew!

K-9 makes it to Polybius!
05-12-26, Day 160, Note: 1633
❤️❤️❤️
“Hello Bodhi,
It’s is I, K-9! I have made it to Polybius in the Red Dimension. Doctor Who told me to insert the mixtape into the transfer device Dark Dungeon Master received from Steven Seagal…Dark DM is still distracted by Billy Ocean. So he does not know I am here…I will be activating the transfer device in 3. 2. 1…(Wait! Is that K-9?) Doctor…I am in need of assistan…” (STATIC)
❤️❤️❤️
What happened to K-9?! Uh-oh…hopefully we get an update soon! In the meantime homie, we wanted to tell you how proud we are of your Passion Project! We know we said it on Monday, but it’s worth saying again…staying on task, working hard, and doing your best always pays off! Congratulations again!
❤️❤️❤️
“Hi Bodhi! It’s me, Bill! Why did the soccer player hire a lawyer? He needed help with his defense. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
❤️❤️❤️
Have a “Go ahead K-9…don’t let me interrupt you” - tastic day!

Love,
Mommy, Daddy, & The Crew!

Ken Masters! And JCVD!
05-12-26, Day 159, Note: 1632
❤️❤️❤️
“Hi Bodhi,
It’s me, JCVD! My Shidoshi told me things in the Red Dimension are going good. Billy Ocean is distracting Dark Dungeon Master…but we still need to stop him from freeing Vecna. And Captain N is still trapped in Polybius too. That’s why I sent my fighters from the street, like Doug Masters’ cousin, Ken! He’s a real “iron eagle” you know?! Btw, remember my friend Timecop? He’s got big news to share after he went back in time! He’ll be here next week to share the news! I gotta go streeeeeeetch! You should stretch too! Like me, JCVD!”
❤️❤️❤️
Umm…Doug Masters (from Iron Eagle) is not Ken’s cousin, homie. But JCVD is right about one thing. Stretching is a good thing. So make sure you stretch before and after you play hard. Your body will thank you for it!
❤️❤️❤️
“Hi Bodhi! It’s me, Bill! Did you hear about the guy who drank invisible ink? He’s at the hospital waiting to be seen. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
❤️❤️❤️
Have a “Ken IS Doug’s cousin! No JCVD, he isn’t. My Shidoshi told me…” - tastic day!
❤️❤️❤️
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, & The Crew!

Waiting on K-9, but Billy Ocean is performing!
05-11-26, Day 158, Note: 1631
❤️❤️❤️
Hello Adventurer!
It is I Dark Dungeon Master! I saw K-9 make his way into the Red Dimension last week with the “Ultimate Mixtape.” You think that’s really going to stop me from releasing Vecna? Which will be soon btw! Ha! I’ll be waiting on that robot dog and when he comes out of the portal, I will stop him! In the meantime, Billy Ocean is here! “Get out of my dreams! Get into my car!” Ohhh what a special surprise! TTFN Adventurer! “Get out of my dreams…”
❤️❤️❤️
(Whisper) Hey homie! We think Dark DM is distracted enough not to see K-9 coming out of the portal. This plan might work! Btw, we are so excited to see your Passion Project today! We know you’ve worked so hard on it! Now’s your time to shine! Be proud of yourself!
❤️❤️❤️
“Hi Bodhi! It’s me, Bill! What do you call a rude cow? Beef jerky. Ha. Ha. Ha.”
❤️❤️❤️
Have a “I say, Hey! You! Get into my car! Ohhh love me some B.O.!” - tastic day!
❤️❤️❤️
Love,
Mommy, Daddy, & The Crew!

Happy Mother’s Day, Momma! My gosh, where would I be without you?! From riding around Detroit in your orange VW bug to eating sushi at Miyakis in Cupertino…Grateful for every moment, mom! Love you so much!
❤️🌼❤️
Happy Mother’s Day, French! You wear many hats (as seen in the pics). But your “mom hat” is pretty darn awesome! Love you, Frenchie! Hope you feel the love today and every day!
