Birthday Fun

We celebrated Rene's and Christian's Birthday last weekend and it's always so much fun for me to hang out with the whole family.
We went to the Old Spaghetti Factory and then headed over to their house to do cake and presents.



Letztes Wochenende haben wir Rene's und Christian's Geburtstag gefeiert und fuer mich ist es immer toll, wenn wir Zeit mit der ganzen Familie verbringen. Wir gingen in die Old Spaghetti Factory zum Essen und danach ging es nach Hause um Kuchen zu essen und Geschenke auszupacken.

Rene got this card from Christian and I love how he wrote on the back "BAM! Home-made card"...totally cracks me up that kid. 

Rene hat diese Karte von Christian bekommen und ich liebe es, wie er auf die Rueckseite schrieb: "BOOM! Selbstgemachte Karte"...er bringt mich immer wieder zum Lachen.

Winston was tired!

Winston war muede!
This is Ashleigh and her boyfriend Jordan. Ashleigh is Katie's cousin and just moved from Alaska to Phoenix...if we're already hot here, I can't even imagine how they must feel, talk about a drastic change in weather.

Das sind Ashleigh und ihr Freund Jordan. Ashleigh ist Katie's Cousine und gerade erst von Alaska nach Phoenix gezogen ... wenn es uns schon heiss hier ist, dann kann ich mir gar nicht vorstellen, wie sie sich fuehlen muessen, was fuer eine drastische Wetter Veränderung.


Katie and I always like to give Christian "Trick" Presents. This year, we made him a card that had a picture of him in it, where he was posing at Victoria's Secret with some women's underwear. We said something like: Next time you want something for your birthday, all you have to do is ask...don't be so subtle!"

Katie und ich schenken Christian immer gerne "Trick" Geschenke. Dieses Jahr haben wir ihm eine Karte mit einem Foto von ihm gegeben, wo er bei Victoria's Secret mit Frauen Unterwäsche am posieren war. Wir schrieben in der Karte so etwas wie: Nächstes Mal, wenn Du Dir etwas zum Geburtstag wuenscht, dann frag einfach ... du brauchst nicht solche unaufaelligen Andeutungen machen!"
After he read the card, we gave him this little Victoria's Secret bag and he kept saying "Did you really get me this?" (Meaning the underwear he was holding in the picture)
He took it with humor though, but I think he was more than relieved when he found a video game in the bag instead of underwear! :)

Nachdem er die Karte gelesen hatte, gaben wir ihm diese kleine Victoria's Secret Tasche, worauf er immer wieder sagte: "Habt ihr mir das wirklich gekauft?" (Die Unterwaesche vom Bild)
Er nahm es mit Humor, aber ich glaube, er war mehr als erleichtert, als er ein Videospiel anstatt Unterwäsche in der Tasche gefunden hatte! :)

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...

January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January! Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha! We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven. He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him. His eyes say "Save me!!!" Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad. Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together. Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha.  Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night.  Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I...

First day of school

This year I have a first and a fifth grader! Aww, he was so tiny in the first picture in Pre-K! Last year of elementary school for this big kid, and Mama is not ready for middle school next year. The boys had a great start to their school year, still taking the bus every day, and while no one is a fan of going to school around here, they seem to like their teachers and classes so far. I'm glad to be getting back to more of a routine for them (and me), because let me just tell you...summer was rough! Haha.
