Family Christmas trip

One side of Katie's family invited the boys and I to come on a little post Christmas trip up north with them. We left the day after Christmas, and my sister in law found the most beautiful AirBnB for us. This was the boys' and my room.

They had a little game room downstairs along with some bedrooms and the kids loved playing down here.

Grandpa is always everyone's favorite.

I think one of my favorite memories of the trip was, that for the first time in YEARS, I was able to read a book front to back. It didn't hurt that there was a fire going, I was comfy under a blanket, and the snow was falling outside. It was magical.

Every night we played a game that one of the kids brought (I think it was called "How well do you know your family?"), and there were some funny truth or dare scenarios that Grandma was more than happy to oblige with.

They had some swings for the kids under the patio as well, and an obstacle course, including zipline, in the back.

There wasn't enough snow to go sledding, but we were able to play a little bit in the snow. My "homebody kid" opted to stay inside...I don't blame him, it was so cold and windy!

Grandma and Grandpa brought an old school SEGA game for the kids to play together.

She just turned one, but I got some baby snuggles nonetheless. Love her!

It was super relaxing, we stayed home all day, mostly in pajamas, ate good food, played games, and relaxed.

Where are Grandma and Grandpa?

It was a great week, and the perfect way to end the year!

August iPhone dump

A few of my favorite moments from August! Meet the teacher for the boys! I received this picture from Katie's wife, such a sweet bond they have. I'm also loving how his pajamas are inside out...haha. Walter came back to spend a few days with us! We watched him last summer, and the boys kept talking about him, so we were all so excited when his mom asked us to watch him for a few days. Notice Finn pouting. He was upset that Walter "only pays attention to Fox". So many big emotions in such a tiny body. Mr. Cool Guy at his dentist check up and teeth cleaning! I was trying to get some work done in my office, but this guy needed some attention. Finn made a bed for them, so they could sleep together. In the end, no one wanted to sleep there, but he was so happy to cuddle with Walter for a bit. My friend got me some comedy tickets to see "Nurse John", so I invited my two besties, and two of my old classmates, and we had a blast, he was so funny. We even got VIP acc...

May iPhone dump

Some of my favorite moments of May that haven't made it on the blog yet. May has been such an incredible month and I wish I could turn back time and do it all over again. Between graduating from nursing school and all the celebrations that came with that, Fox's 10th birthday, Finn's Kindergarten graduation, and all the sweet little moments in between, it was a month I will never forget. Kindergarten Homework for this cutie, he is very smart, but hates doing it. This was my favorite view at school, right when you exited the building. This was the place where we met up with friends during breaks, and after every exam, and I wanted to take a picture to remember this special place. Making paper airplanes has been a new favorite for him. This was two days before I took my final exam, and I probably should've been studying, but having an ice cream date with the boys sounded much more fun. He loves to make us laugh. While Finn and I were getting ready for bed, I asked him to...

Graduation Party

My mother in law Rene' and my friend Allison threw me a graduation brunch the day after I got pinned as a nurse. I love this picture of Patrick. My other (ex) mother in law made this incredible cake for me, she is so talented. My sweet friend Mason. We spent our first year in nursing school together, until he decided to go a different route. We still meet up for brunches and he is also my hairdresser, but I still miss seeing him as much as I used to. It meant a lot to me that he came. I can't even express how loved I felt on this day. I am one lucky girl to be surrounded by so many amazing friends who have been through it all with me. Ten years of friendship this year! Katie and Christina brought the boys and also attended my party, which I really appreciated. Classmates! I was joking that the next time I will receive this many flowers, it'll be my funeral. I also received so many thoughtful and sweet cards and gifts, I was truly spoiled. It was the perfect ending to an em...
