February iPhone dump

A look back at our February!

We've had weekly playdates with my friend Marcela, and when she started fostering two puppies, all playdates quickly moved to her house, because Finn was OBSESSED with them.

He asked about them all the time, and didn't want to let them go. Literally smothered them with love.

Their names were Peter and Parker, but he insisted that one of them was Oreo.

He carried one of them around wherever he went and then even asked Marcela if he can take him home.

When they found a permanent home Finn was so sad, and didn't understand why they weren't at Marcela's anymore.

Breakfast with a side of play-doh and a pouty toddler.

My baby niece Aila Rae! I went over to my sister in law's one day to help out with the kids and let Finn play with his cousin, and I was in baby heaven!

Celebrating my dear friend Lindsay's 40th birthday, a much needed night out!

Another day, and more puppy love!

For Christmas, I gave Fox a gift card for Ifly. He had done it once when he was four years old, and loved it just as much this time around.

Quick weekend trip to Vegas! I hadn't been for ten years give or take, so it was fun to be back.

We walked the strip, gambled a little bit, and saw a Cirque de Soleil show, which was my first.

It was amazing!

Finn and I made lots of trips to Butterfly Wonderland.

We didn't do anything special for Valentine's Day, but I always give the boys some little treats and toys, and they were very excited about it.

Fox had a dodgeball tournament at school, and parents were allowed to come watch.

I loved seeing him have so much fun with his classmates, here he is as the last kid standing from his group, he was super proud.

A little before and after DIY project I completed one weekend. I always hated how dark the cabinet was, but I'm not sure I love the white either. What do you think?

Donuts are his love language...haha.

It took us a few days, but when we finished this puzzle, he was super excited about it (even though he doesn't look it in this picture). He's actually really good at puzzles.

Fox and I had a special one on one date and he chose to go to Dave & Busters. We played games, talked, had dinner together, and a lot of fun!

He said this was the best chocolate cake he ever had.

Dinner and Escape the Room with some of my favorites. It was such a great night and I love Escape Rooms!

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...
