March iPhone dump

Weekly playdates with our friends Marcela and Simon were our favorite this spring. On this day we went to the Train Park.

Our zoo membership expired at the end of March, so we took advantage and went many times while the weather was still nice.

Same with our butterfly wonderland membership, it also expired, and I decided to not renew these memberships because Fox will be on summer break soon and doesn't enjoy going to these places.

A beautiful hike with a friend! How bad is it that I'm already looking forward to the winter when we can hike again? It's been 100 degrees in Phoenix this past week and I'm already over it.

Every time I try to take a picture of him, he makes a funny face.

I loved our park playdates. Soon this little guy will be in preschool every day, and our one on one time is coming to an end.

We were able to convince Fox to join us at the zoo one day, but just because I rented us a Rydable. They both loved cruising around the zoo with it, but Fox was a crazy driver!

Finn's signature "Mama is taking a picture" face.

Fox's school potato project had to be documented as well.

Finn and I invited our friend Allison to join us at the zoo and of course Finn wanted to get another Rydable. He had so much fun steering it himself.

When I checked on the boys before going to sleep, I found them like this. Sweetest thing ever. Finn always needs to be touched or touch someone when he is sleeping.

Fox had been talking about cutting his hair off for a few weeks. He had refused any haircut for over a year, but finally asked to get one. Looks like he was enjoying getting his hair washed.

He was super proud of himself for building this tower all by himself.

Monkey see, Monkey do!

Another zoo visit...

...and another Butterfly Wonderland visit.

Until next month!

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...
