Life Lately.

It's Monday again! Does anyone else feel as if the Fourth of July lasted forever with the day the holiday landed? We didn't necessarily do anything extra special over the weekend, but I heard lots of fireworks going off through the night, so someone somewhere was celebrating. 😉

I've been blogging here [almost] consistently for a year, and this blog has become somewhat of a digital scrapbook for me. I really treasure reading through old posts, and remembering events of the past. I wanted to share a bit of life lately, and what we've been up to this summer so far. 

Jack has a lot to say these days. Haha. He is talking like crazy and can say around 10-12 words. His newest tricks are saying "ROAR" if you ask him what a Tiger says, and saying the word "ball." 

He is cruising and crawling all over the place, so I'm sure we'll have a walker before too long. I'm not quite sure if I'm ready for that excitement, but I do love seeing him meet new developmental milestones. 

Sammy has been loving summer. This has been the summer of neighborhood friends, especially since a new neighbor moved next door who has a whole crew of little boys. Sammy knows that when his friends have their garage doors open that chances are good he can play with them for a bit. 

This week, Sammy will be doing Bible School at our church, and I'm excited for him! It's all day - 9:00-2:30 - so it will be good practice for Kindergarten. I know that he'll be excited to get out and be social with his friends. He's been loving the programs our library offers. In this photo he was helping a juggler with spinning a plate - so exciting! 

Our days seem to be filled with lots of meal prep and lots of snacks. We joke that Sammy eats two meals for every one meal. We call it "first breakfast" and "second breakfast" ...all day long. I've declared this the summer of paper plates to help eliminate some dishes for me. Haha. 

We've got just about 6 weeks of summer left before I head back to work. We're hoping to spend lots more time at the pool and check a few more items off our "Summer Bucket List." I love the fall season, but I'm not quite ready to say goodbye to summer just yet. 😉

Thanks for reading a little bit of life lately! I'll be back tomorrow. XX

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...

Friday Favorites [9-6-2024]

  I'm always happy to see Friday, but especially when the weather calls for... this gloriousness this weekend, I.Can't.Wait.!  I'm linking up with Andrea  and Erika  to share some favorites from our busy, short week!  These brothers get so excited to see each other everyday after school, it melts me! They were together at childcare last year, so it makes me think that they have to be missing each other this year.  Brother time is always a favorite of mine. 😊 The chicken street taco kit from Costco is a favorite as well! This time of year it's important to get dinner on the table quickly and I love that this kit involves minimal clean-up.  This little boy is determined to start walking. He's getting braver and braver by the day!  There's a new flag football player in town. 😉 Sammy started flag football this week and I can't wait to watch him in action this fall! This is his "tough face." Haha.  Sammy's lunches have been a favorite for sure....

Friday Favorites [8-9-2024]

  It's Friday! I'm linking up with  Andrea  and  Erika  to share some favorites from my week.  I don't even know HOW it happened, but this is my last official week of summer. Can you hear me crying from wherever you are? 😅 June passed slowly, but July and August flew. I know that I will blink and the upcoming week will be over.  We've just been over here trying to soak in all  that's left of summer. 😉 On August 6th, Dustin and I celebrated 8 years of marriage! We celebrated with our first date night in an entire calendar year.  With Jack's allergies and Dustin's crazy work schedule, we find it so hard to get out just the two of us. It's a goal of ours to make it a priority this year!  Sammy's Kindergarten backpack, lunchbox and thermos came and he couldn't have been more excited. We loaded up all of his supplies and he is ready. Me on the other hand? I need someone to come over here and hold me. Haha.  Smiley boys at the park are ...
