June phone dump

I already posted about most of our June, but here are some other random pictures that didn't make the cut yet. My work friend left me this note on my desk at work and it made my day. Breakfast date with Finn at our favorite restaurant.  Toy Story 5 with Jake, followed by a swim date. Fun Fact: Toy Story 4 was Finn's very first movie theater movie, at 11 months old! Little dude had an eye exam. I told him that I was proud of him and it must have been so hard to get his eyes dilated, and he said: "What do you mean, this was fun!" Big day for Mr. Fox, he got his braces and I feel so bad for him, because I remember too well how painful this is.  After Finn and Charlie got along so well during our trip, we invited him over for an all day playdate, which ended up with him inviting himself over for a sleepover as well...haha! They had so much fun together and even built a fort to sleep in. Little did I know that they would sneak out in the middle of the night to play on thei...

Flagstaff with Friends

This was our second annual "Friends Trip" to Flagstaff with the kids and it made me so incredibly happy spending time with my friends and all of our kids.  Jessica and I got to the AirBnB early, and took the kids downtown for lunch and some shopping.  This girl has been my constant support, sounding board, and seriously such an amazing friend to me.  Our cute little AirBnB. Tilly and Becky arrived shortly after we got back, and I immediately snatched up the baby! Happy place! The kids immediately started a game of hide and seek in the house and listening to their laughter made me so happy. His smile is 100% fake. I handed him the baby to see his reaction, and he was so awkward about it haha. Neither of my boys want another sibling! Check out these smiles! Even though they hadn't seen each other in a year, they all got along so well.  We hung out on the patio all night, and after being in the Phoenix heat for the last two months, it was such a nice break to sit outsid...

Road Trip Part 5: Pennsylvania

I wanted to hit one more state on this road trip, so we took a three hour drive to visit Pittsburgh, PA for our final day. We took a little trolley, called the  Duquesne Incline  up and down the mountain for some sightseeing. We didn't have a lot of time in Pittsburgh, because we took our time leaving Ohio and having lunch on the way, but we spent a few hours at the Science Center, which was actually really impressive and fun. They're inside a space shuttle. You can also tour this Submarine, but we ran out of time. The planetarium. We had a great dinner that night, before checking into our final hotel for our last night. I’ve been solo traveling with the boys for 8 years and while we’ve had some incredible adventures, it’s also been very hard doing it all alone. I feel like this year we finally reached that sweet spot where things got a lot easier and it was such a pleasure traveling and exploring with them.
