Roadtrip Day 1

The boys and I escaped the heat in Phoenix for a week and went on a roadtrip to Colorado. Now that I have a smaller car, but still being a notorious over-packer, the car was packed to the brim!

I printed out some roadtrip games for Finn to do, because he always struggles with long car rides, and I was nervous about this trip with him.

To break the trip up a little, we did a one night stop in Flagstaff, and met up with our friends Kristy and Jake there.







We can't go to Flagstaff, and not visit our favorite obstacle course!

This was Finn's first time trying the kids course, and he was super nervous about it. Next year, Fox will be old enough to do the adult course with me, and I cannot wait!


He did so well, and I was really proud of him!







The big kids zoomed through the course a few times. 






We grabbed some lunch, and then headed up to Snowbowl, the local ski resort here.

They had summer tubing set up for the kids, and while it was hot, they all went up and down five times.

Big kids were exhausted...haha.




Kristy brought her dog with her, so she stayed at the resort while I took all the kids up the mountain with the gondola. 












We went downtown for some ice cream, before checking into the hotel.


The water was freezing, but that didn't stop the boys from playing in the pool for hours. They ran back and forth from the pool to the hot tub.




It was a beautiful day, and a great start to our summer vacation!

July iPhone dump

The rest of our July in pictures! Movie date with the boys! I took Finn and his best friend to the Aquarium one day, while Fox was at the allergist with Katie. They both had a blast. Trying to touch the sting rays... Sweet brotherly moment at a play place. One of my patients made this for me, and it made my day. It's now hanging from the mirror in my car, as a reminder how fragile life is. This kid kills me with his watermelons. He always wants to buy them, so he can help me cut them, but then won't eat them. When I pointed this out to him, he simply replied that I could take the watermelon to my co-workers again because they love it when I do.  Fox told me he is allergic to Goodwill and puts on this big act whenever I make them go. His throat starts to be itchy and he can't breathe. We might have to get him tested again...hahaha. We visited a lot of play places this summer to stay out of the heat. This was at a library and the kids played with this lite-brite forever. Finn...

First day of school

This year, I have a second and a sixth grader! How is he almost filling out this shirt? This is Fox's first year of middle school, and saying that we were both very nervous about is, is an understatement.  A look back through the years... So far, the boys had a pretty good first month. There have been a lot of changes for Fox, but he has been handling them all like a champ.  We are looking forward to some cooler months coming (hopefully) soon, and all the fall things!

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...
