Hiking Adventures

I've never been a big hiker before, but I really enjoyed doing some hikes with friends this spring. There's something about exercising outside with good company and beautiful scenery...and I already miss it and can't wait for the winter. 

This was a five mile hike with my friend Tiffany.



A few days after, a few of my friends and I took all of our kids on an easy hike. We didn't get very far, but they all had fun.
Henry and Fox always hold hands and I think it's so sweet. 


Of course my kid had to be the odd one out...haha. I kinda love it that he always does his own thing. 




Finn is NOT a great hiker (or walker), which is why I mostly hike without kids, since I don't have a hiking carrier.


Look at these sweet friends!

One evening after Katie picked up the boys, I decided to do something I had never done before: Go on a hike by myself. I think I was mostly procrastinating having to do my english homework, but hey...it was a great time!


I made it to the top by sunset, but it unfortunately got dark on me way too quickly and I was pretty scared hiking down by myself in the pitch dark. Never again.
I love Arizona!

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...

March iPhone dump

A look back at the month of March! Fox and I had a few hours to ourselves while Finn was at a birthday party, and he wanted to go shopping at Target and get some Starbucks. Sounds like my kind of date! This is where you can find him most days, playing games with his friends online, while simultaneously being on facetime with them. When did he get so big? Family game night outside! My sour patch kid. He told me he will still cuddle with me until he is 42...haha! I've been having a really hard time sharing parenting time lately. It kills me every time when I have to drop them off every other week for a stretch of five days, and I have been getting anxiety attacks. I know they are well taken care of, I know they have fun there and don't even think about me, but it still sucks. Whenever I'm not with them, I'm at work, and I guess it's just been extra hard because I never had to be away from them as much as I have since becoming a nurse.  Fox brought this home from schoo...
