Zoolights

Last year we bought Zoolight tickets and weren't able to go, because Fox got really sick and then December kind of flew by in a flash, like it always does. So this year, we decided to go to their Member Preview Night, which is a few days before they open to the public. I always love those nights, because they are way less crowded, since it's just for zoo members. 
It was a perfect night and Fox loved seeing all the displays, especially this spiderweb and the spider!


These are their Spiderman moves!

Katie is deathly afraid of snakes, so when Fox spotted one, he was all about riling her up about it. These two are so alike, I love watching their relationship. 

We also went to see the dinosaurs again. When we went a few weeks ago with Fox's friend Jake, he was a little scared of them, but he did so much better this time around, even though it was now dark on top of the "scary" dinosaurs. Katie obviously loved it. 

We watched their light show a couple of times and played on the playground before it was way past someone's bed time and we had to go home.
It was such a great night spent with my two favorite people. Love this time of year!

    So fun! Don't you just LOVE Christmas lights? We do River of Lights at our Botanical Gardens and it's one of my fav holiday traditions. That last picture of the lights on the water is absolutely beautiful!

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'...

May iPhone dump

Some pictures to round up on our May! I got this sweet birthday card from my supervisors and director and it made my day. Playdates with friends! I took the boys to the Home Show to visit Katie. Aunt Bri photo bombed their picture! Dentist vibes! We had a fun dinner and swim date with my friend Lindsay and her kids. These two jumped in the pool fully dressed! I loved seeing how well they got along. Finn's Mother's Day Project from school, always funny! They had a cute Mother's Day celebration at school where they served us moms with muffins and coffee, and presented a little poem. My friend Jessica posted this about our random Goodwill date, and I loved her words. For my birthday, I wanted to have a little brunch with my friends, and it was such a perfect morning with my favorite people. Add a baby in the mix, and I was in heaven! Proud mom moment, and this needs a permanent spot for my memories. Fox has worked so incredibly hard this year, I was so worried about him transi...
