August iPhone Dump

Let's see what we did in August...although without looking at the pictures, I assume it involved a lot of staying home and avoiding the heat.
Finn is my cuddler and I'm loving it. Fox has never been like this, so I'm soaking it in whenever I can, because I know my days are numbered.


This reminded me of his baby days, sleeping with his butt up in the air.

As I mentioned before, we finished up our monthly photo shoots with our photographer. I love every single picture and wish I could've done this when Fox was little. 


"Free write Friday"...his teacher told him he could write about anything he wanted and this is what he wrote: Finn drives me crazy! 
I was laughing so hard when I saw this, but I know he loves his brother fiercely as well.

One day, I made the boys all kinds of food for lunch. Mac and Cheese, hot dogs, carrots and pretzels with hummus, cheese and a grilled cheese that's not pictured. Finn was so upset, because all he wanted was pancakes. He's been asking me to make pancakes almost daily, but I only make them in the morning. Feeding them (and myself) is my least favorite thing...anyone else?

I have a love/hate relationship about them sleeping with me. I don't get a great sleep because someone always needs to touch me or kicks me or uses me as a pillow. But on the other hand I know that they are only little once and one day they won't want to sleep with me anymore. I get some rest when they're with Katie, so for now, I'm allowing it, no matter what other people think about it. The days (or nights in this case) are long, but the years are short. 

The boys' favorite Friday tradition (when I have them): going to In n Out for dinner.

He stole my heart!

When we went to the Great Wolf Lodge, Fox saw a girl who wore these pajamas. He immediately said that he wanted them too, I think mostly because they looked comfy and are green, since he doesn't know what Minecraft is. It's still a little too hot here to wear them, but we are getting there. He is just like me, if he could, he would stay in pajamas 24/7.

This smart boy here has figured out how to push the step stool to the fridge, climb up and open it to get his own snacks. I'm not even kidding, this kid is constantly eating and Katie and I joke about it all the time. Fox is a very picky eater and always has been, so I'm glad Finn likes to venture out a little bit and try different things. 

Another day of distance learning.

This was PE, he had a lot of fun building this tower and continued to do so during his lunch break. 


He wanted me to spike up his hair and was very proud.

Of course Finn wanted to get in on the action as well.


We made cookies one day and the boys were excited to make them, but no one ate them in the end. Maybe I'm not a good baker, although I thought they were pretty good.

Finn always has to touch me in some way, he's so cute. I hope he will continue to be my snuggle bug for a while.

After 2 years, my picture wall in the hallway is finally finished and I'm obsessed! 


Working hard...in his pajamas of course.

I don't remember what was going on here, but he sure is cute.


Fox's best friend that he's known since he's three came over for a playdate. Fox could not wait and told me he would wait by the door and waited there for at least 20 minutes. I love their little friendship and how much they love each other. Fox told me that he will marry Dylan one day.

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...
