My happy place

Tolmachoff Farms is my favorite pumpkin patch in Arizona, and we have been every year since Fox was two years old. The last few years we always went with friends, which always makes it even more fun.

Here is my only kid who will pose for a picture for me.

And here is my other kid (and his bestie) who think it's hilarious to smack their own butts for a picture. 


I kinda love this grumpy face!

The big boys were so happy to reunite and be crazy together.




They are also notorious to run away from my camera, so I have learned to be sneaky with it and to bring my zoom lens. 



I love this picture so much, I might have to frame it. Finn has the best facial expressions lately.



This moment right here brought up so many bittersweet memories. I have a picture of Fox in this exact spot when he was two years old, and I remember that day like it was yesterday. I'm so grateful to still have one little kid, but he will grow up in about 5.3 seconds, just like his big brother.


He is such an outdoorsy kid, and has been asking to go back to the pumpkin patch every week since they closed at the end of October.


Someone taught him how to peel the corn and eat it, and he was all about it. That was, until he peeled an ear of corn and discovered a caterpillar in it. I think that was the last time he tried to eat corn.







We stayed way past our bedtime, got lost in the corn maze and had to be rescued by the workers there, and all left feeling happy and a little tired. It was an amazing afternoon with friends!

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...
