Hiking with friends

We didn't know it back then, but this was the boys' last time to spend time with friends before we went into quarantine and it ended up being a perfect day.

4 moms, 7 kids and 6 of them were boys, needless to say there was a lot of energy.

We went down into a canyon and this old car was just sitting there. I'd love to know the story behind it.

One of my favorite things is to watch my kids have fun and hearing Fox yell out multiple times "Best day ever" just made my heart so happy.

I borrowed the hiking carrier from a friend, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to bring Finn. It wasn't a hard hike at all, but carrying an extra 30 lbs on my back was a good workout for me.

Fox said this was his throne.

This kid would throw rocks into the water all day long if he could.

See that hiking stick in his right hand? He lost it somewhere on the way and was so upset about it, he declared it was the worst day ever now.

I miss this kind of stuff so much and hope we can do it again soon...although we had our first 100 degree day today, so I don't think there will be anymore hikes until the fall.

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...

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...
