Finn's 4th Birthday

My little "Fournado" turned four at the end of July. Time flies! 
This must have been the first time since becoming a parent that I was actually looking forward to one of my kids getting older. Three was rough...not just rough, it was exhausting, frustrating, and I was more than happy to see it go. I knew Finn wouldn't magically wake up on his fourth birthday and everything would be different, but it was just one step into going into the right direction, and I remember four being an awesome age with Fox. 

He was so excited that morning to see all of his decorations, and to open his gifts. 


He decided that he didn't want to have an actual birthday party with his friends, but rather go to the Great Wolf Lodge with one special friend at a later date. We had a big party when he turned three, and I would confidently say that he absolutely hated it. He doesn't like being the center of attention or when there's too many people and kids at our house. 

So in lieu of a big party, we just had some of the family over for a low key pizza dinner and cake, per Finn's request. 






Everyone commented how Fox decided to "dress up" for Finn's birthday by staying in his pajamas...ha! I don't blame him, I like to stay in my pajamas too when we don't go anywhere. 
It was a great night celebrating our favorite four year old!

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...
