Missouri Wedding Weekend Recap

I survived my first day back to work! Yesterday was a teacher work day to begin the week and it was a productive way to begin the week. The rest of the week we have meetings, trainings, Meet the Teacher Night, and our first day of school on Friday. Dustin is home with the boys this week (until Sammy's first day of school!) which is a great way for me to slide into the school year - I only have to get myself out the door, not myself + 2 little boys. 😉

Today I'm sharing a little recap from our weekend.

On Friday, we went to Missouri to help my cousin Joe get married!

Sammy was the ring bearer and did a terrific job. He is *very* well trained as a ring bearer, as this is his third time doing the gig. He told me that he thought this wedding was great because he got to wear shorts!

First we practiced...

...and then we did the real thing. 😊

A few more from the day...

We had lots of great family time and Sammy loved the hotel stay. It makes me laugh at how much kids LOVE hotels. Truly - I think we could have circled the block and stayed in a hotel down the road and he would have been just as excited. Haha.

Cousin Joe got married, we danced and ate cake...it was a very successful weekend. 😊

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...
