Enjoying the small things...

Dezember ist fuer mich die schoenste Zeit des Jahres, Weihnachtsmusik, Lichter, Dekorationen and Zeit mit Familie und Freunden zu verbringen.
Ich geniesse die kleinen Dinge...

December is truly my favorite time of the year, Christmas music, lights, decorations and spending time with family and friends. 
Enjoying the small things...

...wie selbstgemachte Adventskalendar!
Ich fange eine neue "alte" deutsche Tradition hier in den USA an und habe fuer Katie diese 24 Weihnachtseimerchen gemacht. Ich bin vermutlich aufgeregter als sie, wenn sie jeden Tag bis Weihnachten ein Geschenk aufmachen darf!:) 

 ...like homemade Advent Calendars! 
Starting a new "old" german traditions here in the US and enjoyed making these 24 christmas buckets for Katie. I'm probably more excited than her when she is allowed to open one present every day until Christmas Day!:)


Wir haben auch einen von ihren Grosseltern bekommen, ich liebe es! Es ist schon Jahre her, seitdem ich einen hatte!

We also got one from her grandparents, love it! It's been years since I had one!

Letzte Woche hab ich beschlossen, ein wenig kreativ zu sein und habe diese Buchstaben fuer meine Kueche gemacht, Inspiration dafuer war die Kueche von Courtney Cox in der Serie "Cougar Town".

I decided to get crafty last week and made these letters for my kitchen, inspired by Courtney Cox's kitchen in the TV Show "Cougar Town".

Und fragt mich erst gar nicht, wie sehr ich unseren neuen Whirlpool geniesse...HIMMLISCH!
Wir haben ihn zwar bereits seit Mai, aber es ist schwer ihn zu nutzen, wenn es draussen 45 Grad Celcius sind...!:)
Hier koennt ihr mich nach einem langen, harten Tag auf der Arbeit finden...oder auch nach einem leichten!

And don't even get me started on how much I enjoy our new hottub these days...HEAVEN!
Okay, we've had it since May, but there is no way to get any use out of it when it's 115 degreens outside...!:) 
This is where you find me these days, after a long, hard day at work...or maybe even after an easy one! 


Ich geniesse...
Spieleabend mit ein paar von meinen deutschen Maedels...es war ein lustiger Abend! Danke fuer die Einladung Alex!

Enjoying...
Game Night with some of my german girls...fun times! Thanks for hosting Alex!


Ich liebe dieses Foto! Cosie geniesst ganz offensichtlich seine neuen Rentier Ohren, die ich ihm aufgezwungen habe (schaut euch sein verruecktes Auge an!!!) und Zuma lacht sich ueber die Tatsache kaputt, dass er keine bekommen hat!

Love this picture! Cosie, clearly enjoying his new reindeer ears that I forced on him (look at his crazy eye!!!) and Zuma cracking about the fact that he doesn't have any! 

Und habe ich euch bereits meinen Weihnachtsstrumpf gezeigt? Fast ein Schlafsack, aber hey, was immer  funktioniert, oder? Nun muss ich nur noch jemanden finden, der ihn fuer mich fuellt...hmmm...

And did I show you my stocking yet? More like a sleeping bag...but hey, whatever works, right?;) Now I just need to find someone, who will fill it for me...hmmm...
Ich wuensche euch eine frohe Vorweihnachtszeit!

Happy Holidays!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
