First Day of School 2024

Happy Monday! I hope that everyone had a wonderful weekend. After my first full week back to work, and the first day of school on Friday, I was so thankful for a weekend filled with some preparation and organization, as well as plenty of downtime. 

On Friday we sent our boy to Kindergarten for the very first time! He had a terrific day, and can't wait to go back. 


Dustin, Jack and I were able to drop Sammy off for his first day, and I had the hardest time keeping it together. Thankfully I had 20 first graders to distract me shortly after getting him dropped off. 😉 He's getting so big, and it doesn't seem quite right that he's in school all day. I know that a tremendous amount of growth happens during this year, and I can't wait to see how much he learns. 

Fun fact, MY precious Kindergarten teacher snapped this picture of us walking in. Even though I've got tears, I'm so thankful she took this picture of us. 

Last year I asked Sammy 10 Questions as he started the school year, and I wanted to carry on the tradition this year. 

1. What's your name? Sammy John Brisel

2. Who is in your family? Roo Roo, Mommy, Daddy, Sammy John and Jackson Nicholas

3. What do you want to be when you grow up? a diver

4. What do you think you'll learn in Kindergarten? I think I'll learn how to read. 

5. What are you most excited for in Kindergarten? I think I will like lunchtime the best.

6. What is your favorite color? Blue

7. What is your favorite book to read? The Crayon Book (The Day the Crayons Quit)

8. What is your favorite animal? Elephants or penguins

9. What is your favorite thing to eat? Nutella Sandwiches

10. What is the most special thing about you? That I'm a good swimmer

We're praying for the best first year of grade school for our boy. XX

The Brisel family is OFF!

I'm so excited to share that our family is celebrating the holiday season at our very favorite place...Disney World! This trip has been a long time coming. We have been saving and planning for over a year, and yesterday we [yes we...Santa doesn't get credit for this one 😉] surprised our boys with a trip to Disney World for their Christmas gift. Disney is truly Dustin and my happy place, so we couldn't be more excited to bring the boys!  While we're gone I plan to blog about our trip, so I'm hoping to share an update tomorrow evening. For some who may not know, I am working my way through the certification process of becoming a Smart Moms Travel Agent, which is a travel company that specializes in trips to Disney World. I'm hopeful that it might turn into a fun hobby that lets me share a little bit of my Disney knowledge with other families. 😊 I thought blogging our trip would be a fun resource to share with future clients! For a little recap of today... We wer...

Disney World: Day 5 Recap

Rest days are a necessity for any Disney vacation, no matter the length of your trip. 😉 We have been pushing it and hoofing it all over Disney World, so we were overdue! Our plans today included a character breakfast with Minnie and her friends, spending time at the pool, and a character dinner at 1900 Park Fare.  Both boys slept in until 7:00 which was amazing! We got dressed and ready and began our way towards Cape May Cafe located at The Beach Club Resort. We took the Skyliner from our resort to the International Gateway at Epcot. From there, we had about a 5 minute walk to our restaurant. Super easy!  This character meal is one of the lesser known options for character dining. We've done character dining at Topolino's Terrace (amazing!), Tusker House and Chef Mickey's, so we were excited to try something different. Minnie, Daisy, Donald and Goofy are all dressed in their beach attire, and make their way around the restaurant several times. You're also able to do a ...

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!
