Friday Favorites 11-3-2023

 

It's Friday and it's November, which means I can officially light my "pine" scented candles this weekend...right?! As usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share my favorites from the week. 

Let's back it up to last weekend....

It was a cold, blustery weekend and I was feeling ambitious in the kitchen. I decided to make some homemade noodles. 

Oh my goodness...homemade noodles are so delicious, and not as difficult as one would think. I made them on Saturday, and on Sunday we enjoyed them with my Skillet Beef Stroganoff. I tripled (tripled!) the batch so I could have some in the freezer. Yummy bowls of comfort food is one of my very favorite things. 

Even though I'm seeing twinkle lights and garland in my future, we can't forget about how much fun we had celebrating Halloween! Sammy was a Denver Broncos football player and Jack went as a skunk. 


A moment for the side profile of the costume...😂 He was a HIT! 


We had to stop by their grandparents homes the day before Trick-or-Treating, so I snapped this quick photo. So cute!


The morning after Trick-or-Treating left us all feeling a little exhausted. Can we petition to only allow Trick-or-Treating on Fridays or Saturdays? I came out from the bathroom and found Sammy and Jack snuggled up in our bed. We put our heated blanket on over the weekend and Sammy has mentioned more than once how he thinks he needs on in his room. 😉


Baby Jack also turned five months old this week! I know I'm biased, but look at that sweet smile! When he sees me get closer he smiles and kicks his legs. There is really nothing better. 


I love getting pictures of the boys throughout the day! It's so fun to see what they're up to. 


Have you tried this new flavor of sparkling water from Trader Joe's? It's cranberry clementine flavored, so I'm guessing it's seasonal. I bought one case and I'm wishing I had bought five. SO GOOD! 


We had one of my favorite crockpot meals this week - a Chicken and Corn chowder. Easy crockpot recipes are forever a favorite of mine. There's nothing better than walking in the door after a busy day to dinner already prepared! 

That's it for today, I hope you have the best weekend! XX

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...
