Friday Favorites 10-27-2023

Happy Friday! It's the LAST Friday in October which absolutely baffles me. I can't believe next week will be November! I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some Friday Favorites. 


I have to share my new favorite family photo. Everyone is looking at the camera - including baby Jack! This was taken at a family wedding last weekend. We had a great time!


I'm certain Jack will hate this picture when he gets older. Haha! Obviously we had to put him in a pumpkin for his first pumpkin carving. 😉


Sammy got a full Broncos football uniform for one of his birthday presents and he absolutely loves it. In fact, he loves it so much that it may be his Halloween costume.


Look at these sweet brother smiles! Always a favorite of mine.


Another favorite is a matching PJ moment. Every night Sammy will run into Jack's nursery following his bath to see if they can wear coordinating pajamas. I know this time that they can match is fleeting, so I am fully embracing it. 


Pumpkin sausage pasta for dinner is a favorite at our house! It's one of those great meals that you can make in (mostly) one pan on the stovetop. So good! 


Last one for this week...look at those leaves! I was nursing Jack and admiring the view. The leaves in Iowa seem to be at peak this week, and are all starting to fall. I can picture some leaf jumping in our future. 😉

Have a great weekend! I'm off today for Sammy's five year old well-child visit, and I'm thrilled to have the day to spend with my boys. See you back here on Monday! XX

      It may be my favorite pumpkin we've ever carved. ;)

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...
