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. :)

Jackson Nicholas is TWO!

Jackson Nicholas is officially TWO years old today!  He's been so fun lately, and definitely showing off his two-ness. 😉 He's got a LOT to say.  He loves his big brother and wants to do anything and everything that he does.  He loves his family and talks about them all day long. He loves Mickey Mouse and can't wait for his next trip to the castle.  He loves to play outside! We'll be living in the backyard this summer.  He loves to EAT! This has been his biggest area of growth from this time last year. At his first birthday party, he was just able to eat single-ingredient foods due to his allergies - we just didn't know what was safe for him. Yesterday he was able to have a cupcake..with frosting!  Such a win!  We love him and his silly little personality. We can't wait to celebrate him today!

Sammy is SEVEN!

  Sammy is SEVEN! Seven years ago we were at the hospital, excited and nervous to meet our Samuel John.  Sammy was always a happy baby and toddler, and that's continued into childhood. He is so affable, friendly, and confident! He loves his family, he loves to play and he loves to be active. Games are his favorite, and he loves to "snuggle."  Since returning back to school, he's developed a huge love of reading! As a first grade teacher this WARMS my heart. He loves most books, but right now he favors graphic novels. He is the best big brother. Without us asking, he is so willing to help his brother. Just yesterday, Jack sneezed and Sammy ran to get him a wipe and then proceeded to wipe Jack's nose for him. If someone gets hurt he often hurries to see what's wrong and if he can help. He's a lot like Dustin in that he loves to have fun and be social. He's a lot like me in that he loves to make lists and know the when/how things are happening. He loves a...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
