March iPhone Dump

A look back at the month of March! 
He asked me ever so sweetly if he could bring a few lovies in his bed. How can you say no to this face?

Playing in a big tire in front of the aquarium.


We got a zoo membership this spring and it has already paid for itself, because we've been there so many times. Finn loves all of the animals and told me the other day "We need to go back to the zoo, because the flamingos are missing us!".



No, it didn't rain (because it seems like it never does in Phoenix), but they wanted to play with the umbrella outside. Whatever keeps them entertained, right?


Fox worked so hard that week and I was so proud when he brought his math test and spelling test home that Friday. 

A rare picture of just me.

The trampoline has probably been the best gift the boys ever received, we use it all the time.



This doesn't happen too often anymore, so when it does, it needs to be documented. My happy place...stuck under a baby.

Fox came out of our half bath and couldn't stop laughing. I asked what was so funny and he told me what my letter board in there said. This was the first time he actually read it, so I guess it's time to re-think my letter boards.

He hasn't figured this one out yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

This is my "Wednesday Walking Crew". Every couple of Wednesdays we go for a 4-5 mile walk, usually with Finn in the stroller, but on this day we decided to take a hike instead and I left Finny with grandma. 


I realized that I need these outings with my girls so much. When I'm in a funk or feeling depressed, all I need is to spend some time with friends and I'm all better.

While I was on my hike, grandma sent me this picture of Finn and grandpa going to Target to pick out some new toys.

I can't even count the times we've been at the aquarium this year! He still loves it.


Such a handsome dude.


One day I'll get them out of my bed, right? Fox actually starts in his bed every night, but sometimes comes into my bed in the middle of the night. 

One day I was watching my friend's girls for a few hours. It always seems easier to have more kids at my house, vs. just mine.


Fox has been begging me to go back to Kids Empire for a year. I finally felt comfortable enough to venture out to an indoor play place, and both of my boys didn't want to leave. 


I was exhausted after a few hours from climbing all over their climbing structure.


Finn and I went to Target one morning and he spotted this golfing game and had to have it. What can I say, I wanted it too...haha.

Mr. Cool at the zoo.

Tilly and her boys joined us one afternoon after early release for a few hours at the zoo.

This seriously warmed my heart. Fox is not an affectionate kid, but with Henry he totally is. Fun fact: Henry is only a month older than Fox, but he is super tall.

Tilly volunteered to take almost all of the boys on the camel ride.

He often asks me to make a "burrito baby" out of him. Fox made up the game, and I don't think he even knows what a burrito is, because he's never had one and neither Katie nor I eat them.

This is probably one of the last naps he took at home. He has been refusing naps lately and only sleeps in the car when we pick up Fox from school.

I felt crafty and made a new sign for my front door...seemed fitting.


Do you see the dragon? It was totally random and Fox and I both saw it.



Fox and his cousin driving around Grandma's yard.

Getting ready for my birthday trip with my girls, so I made us some shirts. I loved how they turned out and everyone looked so cute in them. Take a guess which one I wore!

Another beautiful sunset hike with a friend.


Anyone else see the orb? This was actually a video and I took a screenshot of it. On the video you can see me walking down the path and the orb keeps following me. I thought it was pretty cool.


Finn loves everything that involves a ball, so we took him to glow in the dark golf one day.

They both claimed that they won.

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...
