Things I'm excited for...

The change in seasons always fills me with anticipation of the things to come. Here's a few things that I am excited for...

This is one of my very favorite things in the world. I love to turn off all the lights in the house and relax in front of the Christmas tree with a seasonal movie. 


Last year I was pregnant (AKA tired) during Christmas, so I don't feel like I did my Christmas baking justice.  But on the flip side, I was able to enjoy my Christmas cookies with a little less guilt about the calories last year. 😉


It is *almost* time for the heated blanket to be put on the bed. My husband HATES a heated blanket, so we have a twin sized one that is restricted to my side. I absolutely love to preheat the blanket while I get ready for bed and crawl into a cozy bed. 


Awww. Here's my little family at Christmas last year. Baby Jack was about 15 weeks along in my belly! I can't wait to add one more to the picture this year. 


But I guess before Christmas hits, we have to celebrate Halloween. 😉 Sammy plans to be Spiderman this year and I'm excited for a night of Trick-or-Treating with our friends! Baby Jack will be a skunk and I cannot wait to put him in his outfit. Last year Sammy was a pumpkin - and we grew every single one of the pumpkins on our porch! 

That's all for today - see you back here tomorrow!

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...

Friday Favorites [10-4-2024]

Happy, HAPPY Friday!  I hate to even say it outloud, but Jack slept through the night two nights in a row this week. He's been getting so many teeth - all at the same time for about three weeks. This led to lots of broken nights of sleep for our boy. It is AMAZING how much better I feel getting a full night of sleep. Haha.  Needless to say, I'm feeling extra perky this Friday.  I'm linking up with Andrea  and  Erika  to share a few favorites from my week. 😊 Sammy's flag football team is the Chiefs, and so obviously his favorite dog supporter needed to get a matching outfit. Look at Sammy's red cheeks! We're ready for fall weather to arrive in full force over here. Haha.  This week was National Night Out in our town, and Dustin helped work it. I stopped by with the boys, and Jack was genuinely surprised to see so many people who looked like his daddy. He got so excited when he saw the first police car, but was disappointed his daddy wasn't inside. 😉 D...
