Weekend Recap

Hello, Monday! 

I took a little break from blogging at the end of last week, and then again on Monday. Both boys had colds, Jack got his first ear infection (which meant two nights of no sleep for me), and I somehow managed to come down with strep throat. Yuck! We were healthy for the weekend (yay!) but by the time Sunday came around, I realized I hadn't gotten a post ready for Monday. So, here's my Monday post on a Tuesday. 😉

We had a fun little weekend that I wanted to share some highlights from. It was Dustin's weekend off (yay!) and it happened to be his birthday weekend, so we had to squeeze in as much fun as possible. 


On Saturday, we took Sammy to Monster Jam, and he was living his best.boy.life.. He couldn't have been any happier! My parents watched Jack for us, and it was nice to have some 1:1 time with Sammy. 


At one point I looked over, and I wasn't sure who was having the most fun...Dustin or Sammy. 😂

On Sunday it was Dustin's birthday, and we did our best to celebrate him all day long. 

We had a family birthday party on Sunday night. We grilled out burgers and hot dogs, and had some yummy sides to go along with it. 

Dustin requested poke cake for his birthday, so that's what we had. 

And Sammy very kindly helped Dustin open his birthday cards. 😉 Ignore that big dead spot in the yard, that's where the baby pool lived last summer. Haha. 

It was such a fun weekend! But by the time Sunday rolled around, I was wishing for another day off. Summer will be here soon, friends!

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...
