Mexico Trip

After every Home Show, we get a 3-day weekend to make up for some of the overtime from the week before, so we decided to head out for a quick trip to Mexico before it gets too hot. 
We used to go a few times a year, until we had Fox. We took him twice before and it was a disaster each time, so we haven't been back in 18 months. We were excited to show him the beach again and hoped he would love it.

The car ride there was a dream. He fell asleep almost right away (we left at nap time) and slept until we got to the border, where he was woken up by the border patrol agent.
We got there in the late afternoon and immediately went to the beach (their family house is right on the beach, which makes it perfect). Fox was in heaven! He was smiling from ear to ear and squealed in delight! There weren't many times in his life where I have seen him this happy! But see for yourself!







GG bought Fox some sand toys and he had a blast digging holes in front of the house. 


He kept pulling us back to the water multiple times a day. It wasn't even that hot and pretty windy on top of that, but he didn't mind one bit. Every once in a while he told us he was cold and wanted to go back inside to be "comfy cozy". 

We brought a batman kite and he was interested in it for all of 5 seconds!




The waves were unusually high and at some point he got a little scared of the water and didn't want to play in the waves anymore. 









Katie and Fox were sitting in a little pool of water (or mud) and splashed each other, it was hilarious. I'm so grateful for Katie and that she is a different kind of mom than I am. Of course I would've sat in that pile of mud too (what wouldn't I do for this kid?), but I'm so glad I didn't have too...ha!






We went into town twice to eat (it's about 20 minutes away from their house) and this one restaurant had a little cave that you could walk through and it was super dark and kind of scary in there. I told Fox that I was scared and he held my hand and told me "Mama be alright!" Oh my word, I never heard anything sweeter in my life!
















He was pouting here, because it was 7:30pm and he still wanted to go in the water and we told him that it was bedtime and the water was too cold. 

We had such a great time and Fox slept awesome as well (I'm always worried about him sleeping somewhere else, when in reality, we hadn't had a problem with that in a year). On the second day, I think he was ready to go home, because he asked to go to "Soxy's neighborhood", but when it was time to pack up, he got very upset and wanted to stay. 
We hope to go back for Thanksgiving this year and make more family memories!

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.
