Christmas 2014

 This was the first year, Katie and I hosted Christmas at our house. Katie has three families, so it's impossible to get everyone together, but we managed to get two out of the three over on Christmas Eve.
We had Christmas Eve off, so we started our day by going to church, just us three, before everyone came over. 
Here's Mr. Fox, looking all cute, as usual! Love this kid!

 

 

 

 

 

Our fireplace literally got finished a few days before Christmas, so we still have to figure out how to decorate it for the coming years, but it made me so happy to finally see our stockings up.
 

 
Katie's sister Ashlie, her boyfriend Brad and Fox.

This cracker was Fox's Christmas dinner (along with some Breastmilk)...haha. This boy does not like food, the only thing he voluntarily puts in his mouth are these crackers and bananas. We're still trying and I hope it will get better soon. 

 

 

 

 

 


 
Aunt Ashlie read "The Night before Christmas" to Fox before bedtime. 

 
We really love our neighborhood! One of the reasons we love it, is that some of our neighbors put up luminaries around the entire neighborhood, in front of every single house, along every single street, on Christmas Eve.The entire block is lit up with these and it looks so pretty!

 
Fox was already asleep when we took this picture.

 

 
We literally ate dinner at 11pm that night, because the prime rib took so dang long. Everyone was exhausted!

 After everyone left, Fox woke up and was wide awake, so we took him out in the living room and snapped some selfies in front of the tree. He was so sweet and cuddly and went right back to sleep after a few minutes up.

 
Christmas morning started with a family breakfast and Santa pancakes. 

 

 
Brett was too tired to open presents...ha!

 

 
It seemed like Fox really loved all the presents he received from his grandparents. Katie and I decided not to get him anything this year, because frankly, the kid has everything he needs and more and we knew, that between four sets of grandparents, plus great grandparents, he would be spoiled rotten. 

 
He was so excited to rip all the wrapping paper. 

 

 
Obviously, everything underwent a taste test first. 

 

 

 

 

 Best stocking stuffer ever!

We hope you all had a great Christmas as well!

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.
