Full House and a Busy Weekend!

Two weekends ago we had a full house. And by full I don't mean the three adults and two huge dogs that live in this tiny house already, I mean FULL. 
Katie's parents were on vacation and we had the pleasure to spend some time with Christian. I just love having him around, although I know he probably thinks it's a borefest at our house and I don't even blame him. 
We also had two of their dogs over and Katie's sister joined us for the weekend as well.
Cosie got all dressed up for the occasion!

Vor zwei Wochen hatten wir ein volles HausUnd mit voll meine ich nicht die drei Erwachsenen und zwei riesigen Hunde, die in diesem kleinen Haus  bereits leben, ich meine wirklich VOLL.

Katies Eltern waren im Urlaub und wir hatten die Ehre, Zeit mit Christian zu verbringen. Ich liebe es, ihn hier zu haben, obwohl ich weiß, dass er bestimmt der Ansicht ist, dass es sterbenslangweilig bei uns ist und das kann ich ihm nicht einmal verübeln.
Wir hatten ausserdem zwei ihrer Hunde bei uns und Katies Schwester verbrachte das Wochenende auch noch bei uns.
Cosie hat sich für den Anlass zurecht gemacht!

Please....don't even feel bad for him, I totally think he's diggin it!

Ach bitte .... ihr braucht kein Mitleid mit ihm zu haben, ich denke, er findet sich total stylisch!


The weekend was a busy one and I love busy weekends, if they don't include any type of cleaning for me!

I had committed to babysit for two different families that weekend, which is always a blast for me anyway.
Since our next Home Show was only one short week away, I also had to work a little from home, but luckily I breezed right through it and could join Katie and her sister Ashlie on the apartment hunt. Ashlie is moving back to Phoenix and although it was blazing hot outside, we had fun looking at all of the different apartments. I guess my favorite part was all of the free candy and popsicles that we got at every apartment!

Saturday night I met Katie's biological dad and halfbrother, who live in Reno, NV, for the first time. We all went to dinner and had an awesome time.
Afterwards we played Super Mario Brothers and Mario Cart with everyone, which was so much fun!

Wir hatten viel am Wochenende zu tun, aber ich liebe stressige Wochenenden, wenn sie nicht irgendeine Art von Putzen fuer mich beinhalten!

Ich hatte zwei verschiedenen Familien fuers babysitten an diesem Wochenende zugesagt, aber das ist fuer mich ja sowieso immer mehr Spass als Arbeit.
Da unsere nächste Home Show bereits am naechsten Wochenende war, musste ich auch ein bisschen von zu Hause aus arbeiten, aber zum Glück habe ich das schnell hinter mich bringen koennen und konnte Katie und ihre Schwester Ashlie auf die Wohnungsjagd begleiten. Ashlie zieht wieder nach Phoenix und obwohl es draussen lodernd heiss war, hatten wir Spaß uns all die verschiedenen Wohnungen anzuschauen. Fuer mich war das Beste daran wohl die ganzen Süßigkeiten und Eis am Stiel, die wir bei jeder Wohnung  bekommen haben!

Samstagabend habe ich zum ersten mal Katie's biologischen Vater und Halbbruder, die in Reno, NV leben, kennengelernt. Wir gingen alle zum Abendessen und hatten eine tolle Zeit.
Danach spielten wir Super Mario Brothers und Mario Cart mit allen und hatten super viel Spass.




Sunday we went out to lunch with Christian. I asked him what his favorite restaurant was and was surprised when he picked the one I really wanted to go to that weekend, only to find out later that he only chose that place because he knew I liked it. How sweet is he? 

Later, we went on another successful couponing trip and brought back some dog ice cream, the dudes (as we call them) LOVED it, they totally went crazy for it...thanks for the tip Alex!

Sonntag gingen wir mit Christian zum Mittagessen. Ich fragte ihn, was sein Lieblings-Restaurant war und war überrascht, als er das Restaurant nannte, wo ich an diesem Wochenende unbedingt hinwollte, nur um später herauszufinden, dass er es nur wählte, weil er wusste, dass es eines meiner Lieblingsrestaurants war. Wie süß ist er denn bitte?


Später ging es nochmal auf einen erfolgreichen Coupon Trip in den Supermarkt und wir brachten den "dudes" (so nennen wir sie) Hunde-Eis mit. Sie haben es geliebt und waren total verrueckt darauf ... danke für den Tipp Alex!


Look at his crossed eyes and "milk mustache"!
Schaut euch mal seine schielenden Augen und "Milchbart" an!
Life is good!
Ich liebe mein Leben!

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...

Graduation Party

My mother in law Rene' and my friend Allison threw me a graduation brunch the day after I got pinned as a nurse. I love this picture of Patrick. My other (ex) mother in law made this incredible cake for me, she is so talented. My sweet friend Mason. We spent our first year in nursing school together, until he decided to go a different route. We still meet up for brunches and he is also my hairdresser, but I still miss seeing him as much as I used to. It meant a lot to me that he came.  I can't even express how loved I felt on this day. I am one lucky girl to be surrounded by so many amazing friends who have been through it all with me. Ten years of friendship this year! Katie and Christina brought the boys and also attended my party, which I really appreciated. Classmates! I was joking that the next time I will receive this many flowers, it'll be my funeral. I also received so many thoughtful and sweet cards and gifts, I was truly spoiled. It was the perfect ending to an em...
