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...

What's Up Wednesday [September 2024]

And just like that...it's the last week of the month! Time for What's Up Wednesday with  Sheaffer  and  Shay .  What We're Eating this Week... Fall weather is officially upon us, so I'm craving warm, comforting meals. This week's menu is... Sunday - Meatloaf and green beans Monday - Chicken Pot Pie with a green salad Tuesday - "Smash Burger" tacos  Wednesday - BBQ Chicken bowls Thursday - Spaghetti  Friday - we're grilling up the Trader Joe's Unexpected Cheddar Chicken sausages...so good!  My boys have been eating a lot of pumpkin muffins this week. I had to make a second batch this evening because Sammy ate 5 (5!) in one day.  We're basically eating pumpkin in whatever we can these days, which is why I made these pumpkin sourdough discard bagels. A warm bagel + pumpkin cream cheese from Trader Joe's = a little slice of heaven. 😊 What I'm reminiscing about... As always...this time last year. Look how small and squishy Baby Jack was!  T...
