March iPhone dump

Some of our March moments...
My friend and I took our four boys to an indoor obstacle course/trampoline park that also had some skate ramps. Finn was a little scared to ride his scooter down the ramps, but then loved it. 

After drawing this picture, he stated that he was going to sell it to mom for $10. 

Happy hour with my "divorced moms group". Love these ladies!

Katie and I got Cosie in 2009, when he was six weeks old. He had been sick for a long time, and it was so hard having to say goodbye to him. Fox took it really hard, but we were all comforted by the thought that he is now running free with Zuma again. Until we meet again...!



My besties and I celebrated the beginning of spring break with a comedy show, and late night shopping. Well...late night for us old ladies, it was like 9pm...haha! It was such a fun, and much needed night out. 

Dinner with my boys’ diblings (donor siblings) and their amazing Mama from Utah. Unfortunately my kids were on a spring break cruise with Katie, so the kids weren't able to see each other, but I loved catching up with them.

I look at this picture and just remember how Finn lost his mind when we were having dinner at Dave and Busters. We played games, picked out prizes, and had dinner, but something was up with my little tornado, and later that night I figured out what...

Poor guy had an ear infection and we ended up in the emergency room for most of the night. He never complains when he is sick, but when he wouldn't stop crying for hours on end, I knew it had to be bad. 

He was feeling much better after they got some meds in him. 

I called him a party animal because he was up so late, and he thought it was so funny. Now, a month later, he still asks me if he can be a party animal, whenever he wants to stay up late.

I don’t get to go into Fox’s classroom often, so I loved being able to watch him dissect an eye. Plus…I never got to do cool things like that when I was in school! It’s safe to say that he won’t be a surgeon when he grows up, there was a lot of dry heaving, “eeeews”, and plucking his nose!






Finn and I made some sand art at Grandma's house.

Finn loves school, so when he started to cry one morning before school, asking to please not go, it was very odd and unusual for him. And of course I'm such a pushover, that I kept him home with me, although he had to accompany me to a doctor's appointment, and to study group with some friends at our library. It's safe to say that he didn't hate it.



The boys and I haven't been to a movie together in a long time. We saw ant man, and only 1/3 enjoyed the movie (Fox). 
Until next time...!

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...

December iPhone dump

December came and went in a flash! We visited Santa! I started a new job in November as a patient care technician in the Oncology unit at the hospital I'm hoping to get hired by after I graduate. I have heard from many people that this hospital usually hires nurses from within, so I wanted to get my foot in the door, and also gain some more experience before graduating. I was really nervous about handling two 12 hour days per week, on top of school and sharing custody of the kids, and while it hasn't been easy, it has been very rewarding. I love the unit I'm on, the patients, the people I work with, and it's a very humbling experience to work in Oncology.  I took a screen shot of my activity after one of my shifts, I usually average between 7.5-9.5 miles per day, just from walking all over the unit.  The boys are playing bar with their cousin at Grandma's house.  We celebrated their cousin's first birthday! S'mores in the backyard. Nikolaus (a german traditi...
