April iPhone dump

Some of my favorite April moments!

Karate with two of my besties (and my sweet sidekick of course).

Fox showed me his finger and asked if it was normal. Ummm, no. Definitely not normal kid! :)

We had a little staycation and the boys loved the community playroom.

This is our favorite milkshake place. We had lunch there, followed by a movie in the theater.

I made some shirts for my friends and I for our upcoming graduation. So excited!

Of course the boys needed some shirts as well.

Fox was so happy that his cousin just plopped down on him like this.

A sweet find in our backyard.

Fox's teacher asked us to write some letters to him for his upcoming state testing. I asked Grandma and Grandpa to write one as well, and they really went over the top with it, I thought this was so sweet.

Almost six years old and still keeps me on my toes every day.

Bunco night at my house, so much fun!

BLS class at work, I'm still terrified about the idea that I will have to perform CPR on a real patient one day.

I ordered myself a new watch band and I absolutely love it.

Finn was very proud to be sitting up there and wanted me to take his picture.

Sweet messages from friends that kept me going through rough days. This semester has been insane and I worked about 80 hours a week between clinicals, work, lab days, lectures, and exams. I was so exhausted.

Grandma and Grandpa watched the boys for me one day while I was at clinical.

We finally got some new couch tables, so Finn converted our old one (that Katie and I purchased in 2009) into a candy shop.

He started basketball classes in April, and he has been doing so well.

He was super proud of the metal he received, and even brought it to show and tell at school.

Fox bought this for me while he was with his grandparents one day. So sweet of him.

Pool season has begun!

Celebratory lunch after an exam!

We had clinical at Phoenix Children's hospital for a few weeks, and our instructor took up up onto the roof and heli pad for a picture. She also showed us the morgue, but no pictures of that!

Such a gorgeous view from the top!

My very LAST day in my school uniform!!!

And that wraps up April!

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...
