Finn's Third Birthday

And just like that, my baby is three! While the last three years flew by, so much has happened and it's hard for me to remember a time when our family looked different.

Fox and I decorated the house after Finn went to bed.

My big THREE year old!

We opened some presents and he was so excited about everything he got.

Fox may have been excited about this marble run (that I scored on Facebook marketplace) as well.

A few months ago Katie told me that she had talked to Finn about his birthday party and that he wanted a poop party. Which was kind of funny, but also not very surprising, because Fox and him love to talk about poop and farts. Is this a boy thing?

And whatever you want on your birthday, you get...so a poop party it was! I made all of us, including Katie and Christina, shirts, that said Party Pooper and then our name.

Finn loved the shirts, but it took quite some convincing to get Fox to wear the shirt. I told him that I would really appreciate if he wore it for Finn's party, but that he wouldn't have to wear party shirts in the future, if he decided not to. I love matching family shirts, but I knew my time to get away with this, was going to be limited.

We held his party at the Little Gym, the same place we also held Fox's 4th birthday party.

We only invited a few friends that Finn knew from playdates, plus their siblings. A lot of our friends weren't able to come because they were out of town, but I'm glad we kept it kind of small because Finn gets really shy when there are too many people around, and I could quickly tell that he didn't like being the center of attention.

Grandma and Great- Grandma

Aunt Ashlie and Cousin Beckett!

Fox was very happy to have his bestie join as well.

After cupcakes, he immediately asked to go home. I think he had fun, but he reminded me a lot of Fox during his second birthday party, just being really overwhelmed with the amount of people and being the center of attention.

We went home, opened his presents, and Katie, Christina, and Ashlie and her family joined us for a few hours.

This was his favorite present, kinetic sand from my friend Tiffany.

Happy Birthday sweet boy!

He's already telling me that his birthday is coming up soon and he will be four! Slow down buddy, Mama is not ready!

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...

Graduation Party

My mother in law Rene' and my friend Allison threw me a graduation brunch the day after I got pinned as a nurse. I love this picture of Patrick. My other (ex) mother in law made this incredible cake for me, she is so talented. My sweet friend Mason. We spent our first year in nursing school together, until he decided to go a different route. We still meet up for brunches and he is also my hairdresser, but I still miss seeing him as much as I used to. It meant a lot to me that he came. I can't even express how loved I felt on this day. I am one lucky girl to be surrounded by so many amazing friends who have been through it all with me. Ten years of friendship this year! Katie and Christina brought the boys and also attended my party, which I really appreciated. Classmates! I was joking that the next time I will receive this many flowers, it'll be my funeral. I also received so many thoughtful and sweet cards and gifts, I was truly spoiled. It was the perfect ending to an em...
