June iPhone dump

A look back at a very long June!

Pool time with friends is always more fun.

Mom's night out with these lovely ladies.

When your friend has an ice bath, you bribe all the kids to go in! Such a fun morning with this crew!
It was seriously so cold, it hurt my skin. The kids went all the way in, I only made it into a sitting position.



These two were good friends when they were very little, and I love seeing them reconnecting and having a blast together.

The ice bath crew!

Marcela and I took the kids to Costco for some shopping and pizza, it was a crazy endeavor.

He spends most of his days like this, roaming around the house on his hover board and listening to Harry Potter.

The boys and I visited a local dinosaur exhibit, because Finn had been asking for like two years to go back.




Ice cream date after swim lessons with our friends.


I love watching the kids doing karate, it's so cute.


Every Friday we go to the movies with some friends. These are all older movies, but it was $8 for 8 weeks of movies, and we all enjoy it. This picture sums up their different personalities perfectly.



Another fun Bunco night with great friends!




He's been practicing his gum blowing skills, and he was really proud of this one.

He's my little sous chef. I hate cooking, but he loves it. Maybe one day he can cook for me...ha!

Finn told me he drew me a picture, I had no idea he could spell and write out these words.

I've had a good ten days of sick kids in June, they both had strep and fevers for a long time. We were waiting for his prescription to be filled, and he just wanted to cuddle up on me...oh my heart!

I've made myself a new door mat to represent our current state of life. 

We’ve only been out of school for a month, but I have missed these two fiercely. It was so good catching up with my old classmates, and I'm already sad that we won't be together next semester.

He fell asleep listening to his audio book.

After the kids were back to normal, Fox started his first ever summer camp, so Finn and I had a full week of adventures by ourselves. First up, Butterfly Wonderland! He's been asking to go back ever since our membership ended last year, so we finally got another membership and he couldn't have been more happy.


He asked me what my favorite thing in the whole world was. I told him spending time with him and Fox. He said "No, nothing to do with me or Fox!", so I told him that I really like going to brunch with my friends, to which he responded "I will go to brunch with you!" And so we did, and it was perfect!

Glow in the dark mini golf! He even scored a special hole in one at the end and won a free round of mini golf.



I love his eyes!

Since Fox was in camp, Finn and I went to the movies by ourselves.

Indoor play places with our friends are pretty much the only thing you can do in this Arizona heat right now. 



We found this gaming chair at Goodwill, and they both love it so much, that we had to buy another one, so they could each have their own.



This is what a sore Candyland loser looks like...haha.

I found this selfie on my camera roll and it made my laugh.

Our friends invited us to come swimming at a public pool with them. I can't believe that 9 years into this parenting gig, we had never been. It was so much fun, they had slides, a lazy river, and the big kids loved jumping off the diving boards over and over. 


Another summer movie date!


Meet our new family member for the next 9 days! The boys were so excited, and I probably received 16 hugs and thank you’s from Fox today for having a dog here. It will be very hard to give him back to his real family when they return from vacation, and it doesn’t help that he’s the perfect dog.






Girls brunch with my friend Kayleigh and her sweet daughter.
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...
