Friday Favorites

Happy Friday! I've got a long weekend on tap, Dustin is off this weekend, and I couldn't be more excited for 3 days at home with my people. I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some favorites from my week. Here we go!

My first favorite is this new toothy smile. Sammy lost his first tooth! He pulled it out himself and couldn't have been more proud. 😊 How do kids look instantly so much older once their teeth start falling out?!

Another favorite HAS to be my two tiniest valentines. We like to get the boys a little something for Valentine's Day to make the day special. 😉 Even though our day was busy with school, we tried our best to celebrate!

My day at school was nutty, as are party days. Sammy went through my valentines and I died when I saw what one little friend wrote on my card. Those of you who can read first grade will see it's from a "secret admirer." SO PRECIOUS! I told Dustin that he has some competition. 😉

This picture is a new favorite. I think the boys look so much alike here!

Sammy's Valentine's Day party was on Thursday, and he headed off to school with his Bluey box, made by Dustin. He couldn't have been more excited!

Jack has had a couple of rough nights this week. While Sammy has teeth falling out, Jack has teeth coming in! Even though he's a little more cranky in the evenings, he has been really loving strawberries this week.

Has anyone read Kristin Hannah's new book? I've got it queued in my Kindle, and I'm hoping to make some good progress on it over the weekend!

Speaking of weekend, I'm ready for it! See you back here on Monday. 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...

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...
