March iPhone Dump

A look back at the month of March! 
He asked me ever so sweetly if he could bring a few lovies in his bed. How can you say no to this face?

Playing in a big tire in front of the aquarium.


We got a zoo membership this spring and it has already paid for itself, because we've been there so many times. Finn loves all of the animals and told me the other day "We need to go back to the zoo, because the flamingos are missing us!".



No, it didn't rain (because it seems like it never does in Phoenix), but they wanted to play with the umbrella outside. Whatever keeps them entertained, right?


Fox worked so hard that week and I was so proud when he brought his math test and spelling test home that Friday. 

A rare picture of just me.

The trampoline has probably been the best gift the boys ever received, we use it all the time.



This doesn't happen too often anymore, so when it does, it needs to be documented. My happy place...stuck under a baby.

Fox came out of our half bath and couldn't stop laughing. I asked what was so funny and he told me what my letter board in there said. This was the first time he actually read it, so I guess it's time to re-think my letter boards.

He hasn't figured this one out yet, but I'm sure it's just a matter of time.

This is my "Wednesday Walking Crew". Every couple of Wednesdays we go for a 4-5 mile walk, usually with Finn in the stroller, but on this day we decided to take a hike instead and I left Finny with grandma. 


I realized that I need these outings with my girls so much. When I'm in a funk or feeling depressed, all I need is to spend some time with friends and I'm all better.

While I was on my hike, grandma sent me this picture of Finn and grandpa going to Target to pick out some new toys.

I can't even count the times we've been at the aquarium this year! He still loves it.


Such a handsome dude.


One day I'll get them out of my bed, right? Fox actually starts in his bed every night, but sometimes comes into my bed in the middle of the night. 

One day I was watching my friend's girls for a few hours. It always seems easier to have more kids at my house, vs. just mine.


Fox has been begging me to go back to Kids Empire for a year. I finally felt comfortable enough to venture out to an indoor play place, and both of my boys didn't want to leave. 


I was exhausted after a few hours from climbing all over their climbing structure.


Finn and I went to Target one morning and he spotted this golfing game and had to have it. What can I say, I wanted it too...haha.

Mr. Cool at the zoo.

Tilly and her boys joined us one afternoon after early release for a few hours at the zoo.

This seriously warmed my heart. Fox is not an affectionate kid, but with Henry he totally is. Fun fact: Henry is only a month older than Fox, but he is super tall.

Tilly volunteered to take almost all of the boys on the camel ride.

He often asks me to make a "burrito baby" out of him. Fox made up the game, and I don't think he even knows what a burrito is, because he's never had one and neither Katie nor I eat them.

This is probably one of the last naps he took at home. He has been refusing naps lately and only sleeps in the car when we pick up Fox from school.

I felt crafty and made a new sign for my front door...seemed fitting.


Do you see the dragon? It was totally random and Fox and I both saw it.



Fox and his cousin driving around Grandma's yard.

Getting ready for my birthday trip with my girls, so I made us some shirts. I loved how they turned out and everyone looked so cute in them. Take a guess which one I wore!

Another beautiful sunset hike with a friend.


Anyone else see the orb? This was actually a video and I took a screenshot of it. On the video you can see me walking down the path and the orb keeps following me. I thought it was pretty cool.


Finn loves everything that involves a ball, so we took him to glow in the dark golf one day.

They both claimed that they won.

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...
