Friday Favorites 9-29-2023

 



It's Friday! Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some Friday Favorites from the week. 


It's Homecoming week in my town, so we've had a super fun week at my school! Our town does a Homecoming parade each year on Thursday before the game. I walked in the parade with my school staff while wearing Jack in the baby wrap, while Dustin and Sammy watched. Sammy wore Dustin's high school jersey for the festivities. 


I wish I could tell that high school girl that 15 years later their son would be wearing that jersey for Homecoming. 😉


This pictures melts my heart. He has such admiration for the "Newton Cardinal Football players." 


It's soccer season! The "Hurricanes" [AKA Sammy's team] play a game each Saturday. I love watching him play! Dustin is coaching them and equates it to "herding cats." haha!


Sammy requested spaghetti this week for dinner and was thrilled when it was finally spaghetti night. He promptly ate a plate of it, then requested another. #growingboy 


Easy crockpot meals are absolutely a favorite! Have you seen my recipe for Crockpot Italian Beef? It's a super easy recipe that makes a really delicious sandwich. 


This was Dustin's last week of vacation. It's been so nice having him home the last 3 weeks! I love all the fun pictures of Jack I get from him throughout the day. 


Bath time is always a favorite of mine. Look at that clean and fresh baby!


Last weekend Dustin painted our front door to match our new siding, and we added a few touches for fall. I'm super pleased with how it turned out. 

It's a short and sweet post today. I am looking forward to a relaxing weekend! Dustin is taking Sammy to an air show, and I plan to have a quiet night at home with Jackson. Check back in on Sunday for  Jack's four month update! Have a wonderful weekend. XX

      The crockpot beef is delicious! It makes a lot, so I always appreciate the leftovers the next day. :)

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!

Disney World: Day 6 Recap

We're a little bit behind in posting, but today I'm sharing our day 6 recap to our Disney World trip! Today we went to...Animal Kingdom!  I love an Animal Kingdom park day following a rest day. Animal Kingdom has lots of opportunities for animal viewing, and the animals are most active during the morning. It's a great idea to start your day at Animal Kingdom early to maximize your animal viewing opportunities.  On this day we were up and on our way around 8:00. We had a lightning pass for the Nav'i River Journey beginning at 8:05. This ride is located in the Pandora section of the park and it is truly amazing. There are lots of floating mountains, water features, and fun details throughout. Although the boys had zero frame of reference about the movie, we enjoyed the ride and some breakfast before heading to... Festival of the Lion King! Truly - this show is worth the cost of your park admission alone. We loved the songs and the dances, and Sammy was thrilled with the f...

Disney World: Day 7 Recap

We woke up on January 1st ready for our last full day at Disney World!  The boys were a little slow moving this morning (who came blame them after 4 park days 😅) but we had a Lightning Lane booked at 8:05AM for Tiana's Bayou Adventure (formerly known as Splash Mountain). I sent Sammy and Dustin ahead to Magic Kingdom so Jack could have a slower start, and we met up with them in Fantasyland right around 9:30. We knew today was going to be a long park day. We were worried to leave for a rest in case the park reached capacity, and we wanted to make sure we stayed for fireworks!  We packed our morning with lots of rides and tried the new beignets. Sammy loved them! I also caught my favorite picture of the trip this morning. I was trying to take a cute picture of the boys, and Sammy's arm was around Jack's shoulders. At this exact moment... Jack took hold Sammy's finger and bit it. He didn't bite very hard, but hard enough to get this reaction from Sammy. 😂 It is somet...
