Friday Favorites [4-25-2024]

 


I'm so glad to see Friday roll around this week. There are 24 more school "wake-ups" until summer and that sounds pretty good to this teacher. 😉

As usual, I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some Friday Favorites. Here we go! 

My first favorite is our very mobile Jack. He's been pulling himself up to stand on all sorts of furniture (or people), and he's also mastered the stairs. Sammy had zero interest in the stairs so this is brand new territory for us. I think baby gates are in our future. Haha. 

We live in a fairly new houseing development, and there are several houses for sale a few streets over. On Wednesday there were open houses, and a taco truck was parked to bring more traffic to the area. We gladly took advantage and took a walk to grab our dinner. 

Roo's little feet got tired, and she ended up riding most of the way home. Hahaha. 

Sourdough continues to be a favorite around here. This past weekend brought us a pesto and mozzarella loaf, and some sourdough discard cookies. 


Spiderman stopped fighting crime for one, and he approved. 😉

It is my firm belief that breakfast casseroles are too delicious to only be eaten on special occasion breakfasts. We had one over the weekend and it was a favorite for sure. 

Swing rides are one of Jack's new favorite things. We put up Sammy's old baby swing and Jack couldn't have been happier! It makes me happy to see a baby swing on our porch again. 😊

I just finished "Darling Girls" by Sally Hepworth, and I am CONFLICTED about how I feel about it. This book tells the story of girls, who turn sisters, who were in the foster care system, and treated terribly. While I'm not sure how to feel about this book, I couldn't put it down. I literally read it in 24 hours. It was an addicting read!

That's all for this week! Have a great weekend, see you back here Monday! XX

    Oh wow! It doesn't seem that long until summer. I think we have a little longer.
    Aww! Jack is just adorable. My girls used to be obsessed with the stairs when they were little.
    How cool that there was a taco truck near you. What a great sounding evening.

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...
