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! :)

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
