September iPhone dump

A few moments from our September!

The last swim play date at the water park with some friends!

Brunch with my old classmates!

Karate crew!

Every other week, I can go visit the kids during their lunch break at school, and I will show up as long as they let me!

Fox and his best friend from class.

We decorated for Halloween, and this kid was all about it.

This was his idea of decorating, and he was not happy when he came home the following day and I had moved his spider into a different spot.

He calls this his "Rockstar Pose"

We changed Fox's room a little bit, and I was very sad to say goodbye to his space room and rocket bed, but it was time, and he loves his new room.

A quick scooter ride to the little library in our neighborhood to exchange books.

He cracks me up every day. The other day I picked him up from school and asked how it was, and he replied "It was decent!"

I'm getting up really early these days for clinical days and school, but on this morning the sunrise made it absolutely worth it.

We picked up Miranda for Karate, and Fox is very smitten with her.

This is what happens when you have a brother...apparently they had a little (fake) axe throwing competition at Katie's house.

Another school lunch with my bestie.

I think Fox only agrees for me to come because I bring him Chick fil a...but I'll take it.

A quick trip to Flagstaff for my favorite ropes course.

I bought some booger candy for Finn because he loves to eat his boogers, but he was not impressed.

We had Fox's friend over for a playdate and the boys swam in the pool for the last time before it got too chilly.

A quick trip to San Diego for a long weekend. My professor told us the day before that we need to make school our number one priority. She said she knows we want to see the beach, but vacations have to wait until we graduate in May. These were my weekend views. Zero regrets!

It was a great, and busy month!

April phone dump

Some more pictures of our April. He's my bed hog, but I love sharing the bed with him and the way he comes find me in his sleep to snuggle up to me. Work Crew! Easter Preparations...it took me a solid hour to fill all the eggs. Finn chipped his permanent front tooth, and had to get it fixed. He was so brave. I tried to hold his hand to let him know I was there, and he kept giving me a thumbs up. Reading in bed with them is my favorite. We went to play mini golf, and it was an absolutely shit show. Just look at Finn in the background, he was on fire on this day. That's his "cool face". Not pictured are all the times he melted down because he wasn't "good enough". I really need to stop playing this game with him, because it happens every single time...haha. Book Club! I wasn't a fan of the book, but it was great getting out and talking about books with other readers. He got into kinetic sand for a few weeks, and I felt like my floors were covered in s...

Germany

I took a quick trip to Germany over spring break while the boys were on vacation with Katie. My dad had some medical issues over the past year, and it had been almost two years since I went, but a trip that was supposed to be five days in Germany, ended up being only four days because of flight delays. When in Germany for the first time, you HAVE to try Mettbroetchen. Needless to say, she was not a fan haha. A trip down memory lane is always on the agenda for the first day, walking around my village, visiting the homes where I grew up in (which are luckily still owned by my family), visiting my grandparent's graves, and eating all my favorite foods. My only living grandparent, and one of the main reasons I wanted to go visit. It was so special to spend time with her. We had doener almost every day! Family dinner at my favorite restaurant one night, I absolutely loved how many people were able to join us even though it was very short notice. We also had breakfast at my grandma'...

August phone dump

It's September, and I couldn't be more excited for what's to come...Fall, Halloween, Christmas...it's my favorite time of year. But let's look back at our August! I've had them fill out the same back to school form since they started school many years ago. When all the kids go back to school, us moms celebrate with a back to school brunch and it was everything my heart needed and more! So many good conversations, so many laughs, and getting to hold baby Nora was the icing on the cake! Playdate with some friends! Fox read with me in the car while we were waiting for Finn's bus...it made me so happy! He asked me to make him an "ultimate chill space" while he was at school, and this is what I came up with. He approved, and even tried to have a sleepover with me there, but we only made it for about an hour, before we went to bed. I took the kids, and one of Fox's friend to the water park one afternoon and it was perfect. Finn braved the high dive f...
