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.

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...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...
