Friday Favorites [5-3-2024]

 


Yay! It's Friday and it's the month of MAY! Both of those things are very good things in my book. Today I'm linking up with Andrea and Erika to share some favorites from the week. 


On Monday I shared that we had a busy weekend! My mom and I hosted a Bridal Shower for my sweet cousin Caitlin, and then our new niece and nephew were baptized on Sunday. It was a fun (but tiring) way to spend the weekend! 


Jack especially loved all of the family time, and was happy to sneak in some giggles with Great Grandma before the shower began. 😉

We whipped up these Burrito Bowls for dinner one night this week, and it was a new favorite. It was such an easy meal that Dustin and I both loved! 


It's May, which means that it's time for me to read "Charlotte's Web" to my class. I read it every year during the month of May! This book has seen much better years - I think it's time for a new copy. Haha. 

The boys and I love to play in the basement, where most of their toys are. Have you heard of the Nugget Couch? It's one of our most versatile toys. You can arrange it to make all sorts of structures. We had set it up as a slide, and Sammy rolled down it with the bean bag on top of him. He said, "look out, it's a Sammy sandwich!" 

Baby Jack turned eleven months this week, and I'm in denial that he is turning a year old on June 1st. This year has really flown by. We've started planning his first birthday party. So much fun! 


And for fun, here's a little comparison picture of both of my boys at 11 months. You can absolutely tell that they're siblings! I'd love to go back and squeeze Baby Sammy again. 

What's everybody up to this weekend? We have NOTHING on the calendar, which I am SO EXCITED about. I need to play catch-up and get ourselves pointed in the right direction again. Have a happy Friday, see you back here Monday! XX

      The burrito bowls are going to be added to our meal rotation, for sure! Have a great week, Kim!

    Your little guy is a cutie! Charlotte's Web is still one of my favorites and is a tale that never grows old. Enjoy a weekend with nothing on the calendar. They are so necessary now and then. I hopped over from the Friday Favorites link up this week.

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!

Disney World: Day 6 Recap

We're a little bit behind in posting, but today I'm sharing our day 6 recap to our Disney World trip! Today we went to...Animal Kingdom!  I love an Animal Kingdom park day following a rest day. Animal Kingdom has lots of opportunities for animal viewing, and the animals are most active during the morning. It's a great idea to start your day at Animal Kingdom early to maximize your animal viewing opportunities.  On this day we were up and on our way around 8:00. We had a lightning pass for the Nav'i River Journey beginning at 8:05. This ride is located in the Pandora section of the park and it is truly amazing. There are lots of floating mountains, water features, and fun details throughout. Although the boys had zero frame of reference about the movie, we enjoyed the ride and some breakfast before heading to... Festival of the Lion King! Truly - this show is worth the cost of your park admission alone. We loved the songs and the dances, and Sammy was thrilled with the f...

Disney World: Day 7 Recap

We woke up on January 1st ready for our last full day at Disney World!  The boys were a little slow moving this morning (who came blame them after 4 park days 😅) but we had a Lightning Lane booked at 8:05AM for Tiana's Bayou Adventure (formerly known as Splash Mountain). I sent Sammy and Dustin ahead to Magic Kingdom so Jack could have a slower start, and we met up with them in Fantasyland right around 9:30. We knew today was going to be a long park day. We were worried to leave for a rest in case the park reached capacity, and we wanted to make sure we stayed for fireworks!  We packed our morning with lots of rides and tried the new beignets. Sammy loved them! I also caught my favorite picture of the trip this morning. I was trying to take a cute picture of the boys, and Sammy's arm was around Jack's shoulders. At this exact moment... Jack took hold Sammy's finger and bit it. He didn't bite very hard, but hard enough to get this reaction from Sammy. 😂 It is somet...
