April iPhone dump

Missing the days where we would drop off Fox at school, and head to the playground for a few hours.

Also missing our friend Allison who went back to Michigan for the summer. Here she was teaching Finn how to crack eggs.

Some of my favorite baby outfits from their first year of life all in one perfect quilt! I dreamed about having this quilt made before Fox was even born, and I'm pretty sure it will be in a closet for the rest of my days because it's too special to use...haha.

Sleeping angel. I take a deep breath of relief whenever this little tornado finally falls asleep. I don't remember this stage with Fox when he was that age, but let me just tell you, three is hard.

Basketball class. He hated it, I hated it, probably not doing it again.

Tuesday playdates with our friends Marcela and Simon are another thing I already miss.

The boys made an Easter sugar cookie house.

We've had a membership to the Natural History museum since last summer, and only used it once, so we took Allison one day, and Finn enjoyed mining for gold.

They have a prison there as well, and he thought it was funny to sit on the beds, but didn't think it was funny when I closed the door...ha!

Impromptu staycation at the Great Wolf Lodge! We all love it there, and already have plans to go back for Finn's birthday.

He has no personality at all...

Another morning at the playground. Finn was so excited when the sprinklers turned on and had a blast running through them.

Quick weekend getaway to Flagstaff where we stayed in this cute little cabin.

One of my all time favorite things to do is the Flagstaff Xtreme Adventure Course. I hadn't been in two years, and it was so fun, and my body was so sore the next day.

Fox and I had a little one on one date at his school's art walk.

He was super proud to show me all of his artwork, and even more excited, when we met one of his best friends there.

Finn and I had a few lake days in April as well, while big brother was at school. His favorite activity was to do treasure hunts, where we walked around with a bucket and collected trash on the shore.

Until next month!

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...
