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! :)

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha.  Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

August iPhone dump

Some moments from my August... Coffee treats during busy shifts! Fox had a pool playdate with some friends. First day of middle school! Unfortunately I had to work and couldn't send him off that day, but my favorite co-parent came through with some pictures from the bus stop. Found a bunch of these selfies on my phone haha. On the way to school one morning, middle school is rough apparently. A quick brunch with friends to celebrate the end of summer break! My sweet friend Nikki gave me this bucket full of beautiful dresses that she had outgrown. A lot of them still had tags on them! Dinner date with the boys, they preferred playing a game together instead of talking to me...haha! Homework struggles have begun again! Sweet treats after school while we wait for Finn to get off the bus. Unfortunately their buses arrive an hour apart from each other, so we have a lot of waiting around because the bus stop is too far from my house.  He was helping me make schnitzel! We watched Bad guys ...
