Friday Favorites [7-12-2024]

 


As summer continues on, I am finding these weeks are passing even more quickly! I can't believe that we're just about halfway through July. I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to share some favorites from the week. Here we go! 

First up...Vacation Bible School for Sammy! It was his first year attending, and it was from 9:00-2:30 each day. That's a long day for a little boy! Each day he'd come home hungry and exhausted, and I'm pretty sure it was a glimpse of what starting Kindergarten will be like. 😉 Overall it was a great experience for him! I'm glad he has the weekend to recover and have some down time. 

While Sammy was gone at VBS, Jack had...all the appointments. Womp womp. He had his first dental visit, a pediatrician appointment, and an appointment with his food allergy dietitian. He was a little trooper through it all! 

Matching outfits will always be a favorite of mine. I loved my boys looking handsome in their matching Mickey Mouse polos! I've been adding new Mickey shirts to the boys' wardrobe in preparation for a little surprise trip we have planned for them in December. Shhh. 😉


BLTs and Iowa sweet corn is one of my very favorite meals of the summer! Especially when I make the sandwich using homemade sourdough. 

The boys love the sweet corn, too. 


One last favorite from the week is this picture of the boys from our church's pool party last night! They love any chance they get to swim. 

That's it for today! I'll see you back here on Monday. Have a great weekend! XX

    Summer always seems to fly over so quickly!
    Aww! It sounds like Bible School has been a great experience for Sammy. What a busy time for Jack. What a star he is! The matching outfits are so cute.

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...
