My Once Upon a Time...

A few more pictures from February! I found them cuddling on the couch together, but it didn't last long.  We went rollerblading around the lake one evening, I hadn't been on rollerblades for many years, but it was a lot of fun! Beautiful sunrise on my way to work. Practicing his cup stacking. Another sunrise from the parking garage at work. Fresh haircuts for the boys! A few more pictures I received from my friend's Tilly's wedding at my house. My favorite people! Fox learned how to grill steak by himself and it's been a game changer. Growing up so fast! Cuddles with my wild child. Reading before school! I visited Finn for his Valentine's day party at school. Helping a sixth grader with math homework has not been my favorite haha. Reading outside with a sixth grader however, will always be my favorite! I asked Finn to take a picture of Fox and I reading together, and this is what I got. This little President's day project that Finn brought home from school m...

It had been five years since we've been on this trail, but we took advantage of the beautiful weather and even though neither of them wanted to go, they ended up having a blast. I loved seeing them walk arm in arm and talk about who knows what the entire time. They are blending right into the scenery! I wasn't sure if we would find water since it had been so dry, but the "waterfall" did not disappoint. This little guy absolutely loved exploring, it made my heart so happy. It took us about two hours in total and we were all tired, but I had an amazing time, and I think they did too.

A look back at our January! 12 years ago I was pregnant with Fox, and I made some of the most amazing moms on a "First time moms of 2014 babies" facebook group. Since then, we have spent countless days together, from playdates, birthday parties, holidays, to camping and trips. These moms have made the biggest impact on my life and I have gained so many incredible friends over the years. It's been such a blessing to watch our kids grow up together! We decided to have a little reunion for some of the kids that hadn't seen each other in a while, and we went to this place called "Activate" where they got to play some games together. The beginning was a little awkward, they were all nervous, but in the end, they were all fast friends again.  We took them to dinner afterwards and it was loud, wild, but full of laughter and exactly what my heart needed. They took some selfies in the room together, unknown to us moms, who got them emailed later on.  And just for fun...
