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 [3-1-2024]

  It's Friday and I'm here sharing my favorites from the week. As usual, I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika . Here we go!  My very first favorite is that Jack is 9 months old today! I can't believe he's been "out" for as long as I was pregnant with him. 😊 He is the happiest little baby, and we just can't imagine life without him. I shared a little monthly update on the blog today as well.  Another favorite is that Sammy lost his second tooth over the weekend. He pulled it out himself! I told him that pretty soon he won't have any teeth left. πŸ˜‰ An easy sheet meal dinner was perfect for our Wednesday night. I took some italian chicken sausage, sweet potato gnocchi, and green beans, plus a little olive oil and seasonings and roasted it up for about 20 minutes. Sammy loves chicken sausages, so a fuss-free dinner is always a win in my book.  We put out some St. Patrick's Day books over the weekend and have been enjoying reading them. I keep a...

Friday Favorites [4-5-2024]

  Hello, Friday. It's always nice to see you. πŸ˜‰ I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!  My first favorites are these sweet Easter pictures. We had a fun weekend celebrating! I love any reason for my little boys to get dressed up and get a cute picture. πŸ˜‰ Another favorite on April 1st was celebrating Jack's 10 month birthday! I can't believe in two months he will be one. I loved this picture showing off his top two teeth.  3 years ago, my family was at one of our favorite places...Disney World! We went to Florida over Easter in 2021 with my extended family and it was a fun little trip. This trip was rescheduled from March of 2020, and I love seeing all of the memories from our trip. Sammy looks SO LITTLE.  In this picture we were riding Dumbo. I remember that Sammy got off the ride and promptly asked to go again. Haha.  We made my  Easy Weeknight Tostadas  on Tuesday of this week ...

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. πŸ˜‰ 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...
