October iPhone Dump

My favorite post of the month...my monthly iPhone dump!
I'll never get tired of sleeping pictures.

Finn didn't want to take a nap that day, so we decided to skip it, but the minute we went in the car he fell asleep. Every time...and it ruins bedtime. But look how cute he is!

They built another fort and Finn was so happy that big brother let him in.

He tries to copy everything Fox does and thinks he is hilarious. I think so too.

My friend and I went shooting one night. I hadn't been in years and never actually been to a shooting range, my brother in law had taken me shooting in the desert a few times before. I'm pretty sure that everyone at the range was making fun of me, because every time a shot was fired my whole body flinched. I'm scared of guns and it was definitely not my favorite activity, but I wanted to get a refresher on how to use one. 

This was our first time at the playground since February (besides the time we went in Long Beach) and while it was still pretty hot, both boys enjoyed their time and didn't want to leave.


A few weeks after Fox's unfortunate haircutting incident during his class zoom call, my friend Tilly offered to come over and shave his head, because we had family pictures coming up and we tried to even it out as best as we could. He wasn't too happy about getting a buzz cut, but he has gotten so many compliments on his hair cut since, that I wonder if he will ever let us grow out his hair again.

The kids had fun playing the rest of the night and we all had dinner together.

Finn started his first sports class! They rotate between soccer, basketball and baseball, but Finn was only interested in playing basketball, even though this week started with soccer. 

He was supposed to stand on this yellow circle, but he decided to carry it around instead.

He didn't really want to participate and acted a little shy, but Fox helped him get more comfortable.

They love each other so much!


Now that the weather is getting nicer, I'm trying to have as many meals outside as possible. These boys are messy! We just have to remember not to leave the food unattended for even a second. They wanted to jump on the trampoline for a bit and when we came back, all of the waffles were gone...apparently Cosie was hungry too!

This is my favorite Halloween house, the pumpkins are synchronized to Halloween music and I believe Finn could've stayed there all night long. 

We've been driving around neighborhoods looking for Halloween decorations a few times this month and this one was amazing. You can't really tell in this picture, but they had dozens of skeletons everywhere and Finn couldn't get enough. He's been asking to go see "spooky decorations" every single night. I think Christmas is going to blow his mind...I can't wait!


Working outside while watching them have fun. 

This is what Fox's live PE zoom class looks like, Finn was getting in on the action as well and they were both giggling their little hearts out.

Lately, a lot of my nights have been looking like this...catching up on Etsy orders while the kids are with Katie.

My friends are better than yours...lol!
I had a little procedure done (I’m ok!) and for the last few days I have been spoiled like I’ve never been spoiled before. They brought me multiple dinners, breakfast, treats, kept me company, took care of me, checked in on me, drove me around, did my dishes, and helped me with Etsy orders.
I knew I had amazing friends, but I’m just blown away. I’m truly blessed to be part of such an amazing tribe! ❤️


Halloween Nails...
...and they even glow in the dark!

I took Fox on a little one on one date after school one day and asked him what he wanted to do, so our first stop was the Gelato Spot!

I was surprised that he wanted to go to the playground afterwards, but when we drove around one night to look for Halloween decorations, he had seen a new playground that he wanted to check out, so that's what we did.


That night, we went to a Haunted House in my friend's neighborhood. This was the only night they put on the event without any actors jumping out at you and Fox had told me that he was ready to try it out.



We waited in line for about ten minutes before we were able to go in. He was so scared and couldn't wait to get out. But in the end, he was proud of himself for trying it. 

Another sports class and Grandpa joined us!

They were working as a team to "fix" their car.

Sometimes appreciation and kindness come in unexpected ways. Loved finding this note.

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...
