November iPhone dump

Another month has passed and I'm falling more and more behind on this blog, but determined to catch up one day. School has been crazy for me, I still love it, but it certainly keeps me very busy.

This was our November!
Finn loves to do all sorts of arts and crafts, and made us approximately 735 Christmas ornaments this year.

In this house, we celebrate half birthdays!

Friendsgiving: Lots of love, lots of good food, lots of laughs, and a whole lot to be thankful for!


Illumination…I admit, I watched their faces more than I watched the actual light show!

Never too early to start on Easter decorations, right?

A lot of my kid free nights were spent like this...cozy in bed, doing school work, and watching some kind of trashy reality show. 

I remember the days watching Fox’s preschool class doing sing-along performances and smiling ear to ear because it made me so happy. Those days are long gone, but how lucky am I that I get to do it all over again with Finn now?

He was very serious during the entire performance, and didn't sing along with his classmates.


Playdate with his buddy at our house.

Dinner and drinks with a new friend.

Thanksgiving at Ashlie's house with the entire Jones family. Finn was really into basting the turkey, and worked on it for 15 minutes straight.








He asked me to take his picture, how can I say no to this face?


Decorating our annual gingerbread house!









Every once in a while they will play nicely together.


The kids went ornament shopping with Katie, and brought this one back for me, claiming it looked like an artichoke which is my school mascot. I thought it was so funny, but thoughtful. Also, who came up with having an artichoke for a mascot?!?

Naps don't happen very often anymore, but when they do, it's always in the car.

We rode scooters (and the crazy cart for Fox) at a nearby golf course.

After 8.5 years, Fox was finally willing to learn to ride a bike. He got the hang of it pretty quickly and I loved seeing his confidence, and how proud he was of himself.
Until next month!

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...
