Monday Things

 Monday Things

The Fourth of July always seems to be the halfway point of the summer, and I can't believe school supplies are already making their appearance in stores. I'm so glad that I still have 9 weeks of time at home with my family!

Jackson 

Baby Jack is starting to lose a bit of his newborn look and is looking more like an infant - if that makes sense. He's alert longer stretches during the day and I'm able to predict when he's going to be awake and when he'll be asleep or hungry. Yesterday we were out of the house quite a bit - going to church, lunch, outlet mall, and the church pool party. He was a little trooper through it all! It felt so good to get dressed in normal clothes and leave the house as a family of four. 


Sammy 

Sammy was thrilled with our outing on Sunday. He loves to go, go, go (like his daddy), so he was glad to be out of the house. We got him a new pair of tennis shoes for him to wear to soccer camp tonight. He is currently wearing size 12s which seems so big! I held them up in the store and thought, "there is no way these will fit him," but sure enough...they did. 

Sammy is currently in a bit of an "imaginary friend" phase, which has been so funny. Sometimes his imaginary friend is Olaf, sometimes it's a dinosaur. He insists that I set a plate for them at the dinner table and he often tries to give his imaginary friend the food that he doesn't want to eat. Nice try, buddy. ;)


Lately I've been trying to find all the matching clothes. We're in a very brief window where Jack can wear size 0-3 months, and Sammy is wearing size 5T, so I can find them matching or coordinating outfits in those sizes at certain stores. I know this window will probably close soon, so I am on a mission! They matched this weekend for Jackson's first time at church. 


We're off for another day of summer fun! We've got a walk, a trip to Fareway, and soccer camp on the docket for the day. I am loving these days with my boys. :)

Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

  Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from the week.  On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend!  Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉 We whipped up these  Burrito Bowls  for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved!  It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha.  The boys and I love to play in the basement...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...
