Sammy is 5!

Our biggest boy is celebrating his FIFTH birthday today! He is so excited to finally have his turn to celebrate, and it is so easy to celebrate him. 


From a newborn...


To a one year old...


To a two year old...


Then he was three years old...


Then he turned four years old...


And now he is five. Time absolutely flies! 

He LOVES his baby brother, Jack. His adjustment to having a new brother at home truly couldn't have been more seamless. 


He has the biggest sweet tooth of anyone I know...besides me. 😉



He is active and competitive. Sammy participated in a soccer camp, football camp, and soccer league this year.


He loves to be outside. 

He loves to ride his scooter. 

He loves to be cozy in his pajamas. 

He hates to wear "church clothes." (Even though he looks adorable in them). 

He is really interested in writing, letters, and numbers. He is constantly pointing them out, and trying to write them down on paper. Right now his favorite number is "100." I often see him grabbing paper and markers and being creative.


He is a helper. When Jack was born we tried really hard to refrain from asking him to do stuff (like "hand me a diaper," or "throw this away") just because he was able to. But he genuinely wants to help and I often find him taking care of little things. 


He is protective. When we are walking and a car is coming, he will throw his hand in front of me and tell me to wait and watch for cars. 

He LOVES his adventures he gets to go on with his daddy. When the two of them leave the house he yells, "bye, Mommy! We'll be back soon!" They've been fishing more times than I can count, and taken in air shows, races, and baseball games. 

He is JOY. 

Gosh, we sure do love this boy.

  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. 😉 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. 😉 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. 😉 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 and they were a hit! We loved this eas

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. 😉 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, where most of
