Mortimer Farms

Alright, this is seriously the last pumpkin patch of the season...ha! 
Kristy and I made plans to go up north to visit a pumpkin patch we had never been to, but when the kids got sick, we rescheduled and ended up going the last weekend of October. 
It was supposed to take us an hour and 15 minutes to get there, but with traffic and pee stops for the boys, it took us two hours. Luckily the boys were such great passengers.

I seriously love this picture below!

The farm had a lot of fun activities, but once again, it was hot as hell. We thought it was going to be much cooler, since we were going up north, we even brought sweaters and pants "just in case", but it felt just as hot as Phoenix. 




Making corn angels

The boys spent like 30 minutes on this tractor and the only reason they came down was because we told them to...they would've stayed up there all day long.



Petting some chickens










He had so much fun on this jump pad...



The boys wanted to play hide and seek in the corn maze, which totally freaked me out, because we always get lost in these things. Luckily we all made it out together!





While we weren't impressed by the farm itself, we had a fun day. The pumpkin patch looked so brown and dead, I didn't even take a single picture of it and there is a pumpkin patch a little closer to our house that is much more fun than this one was. It came highly recommended from a few friends, but we decided we would go to the other one closer to home next year instead. 
But the boys had a blast and so did we, so that's all that counts!

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...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget.  Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place.  Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
