January iPhone dump

A quick look at our January!

Nursing Level 2 unlocked...after getting a heated vest, I now also have my personal space heater at work. No one warned me how cold hospitals are...haha!

We watched our friend's dog for a few days and Mr. Finn was in heaven.


He wouldn't let go of poor Nugget and always wanted him to be right with him.


His eyes say "Save me!!!"

Cherishing the times that he will cuddle with me. I know I don't have much time left, and that makes me really sad.

Self-care...reading a book in our hammock while the kids were playing nicely together.

Another downfall of them growing up, is that we now have to order adult meals at the restaurant. I might have to get another job in order to afford these two...haha. 

Katie sent me this picture of Finn sleeping with their dog one night. 


Sweet things my co-worker leaves for me when I was sick at work...she made me a to-go tissue packet because the box I kept carrying around kept falling out of my fanny pack that I wear at work. And yes, I wear a fanny pack, it's the best thing!

Nights with him are my favorite. We usually go to bed an hour before Fox comes in, and I read while he either draws, or reads, or listens to an audio book. 

Finn was so excited that we got to take his classroom hamsters home, he had been waiting for this day since August. There were three of them.



He made little magna tiles cars for them, and a hamster maze.


All three of us dragged our kids to the playground, just so WE can have a playdate together. It was everything my heart needed and more. 

My latest obsession are Goodwill treasure hunts. I usually go for books, but on this day I found this brand new toy that sells for $65 on amazon, and I paid $5. I was so excited, and both my kids enjoy playing it.

Finn's new year resolutions, "Ask my mom to give me some hard 5th grade spelling words, like syrup, nauseous, digestive, soap, coat, charters, schedule, narrative, January." This kid cracks me up, he will spell things for us all day and is often better than Fox!


It's always a happy day at work, when one of our doctors brings us treats. 

Working on his Valentine's box!

We are arm wrestling in this picture. He has been crazy about working out every night and has a whole set up right next to my bed. He still believes he can beat me, but one day he actually will. 
And that wraps up January!

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...
