Happies

Happy Monday! Last week was BUSY, friends. And the thing is...I think life now is "busy," but I'm certain I will think back on these days when the boys are in high school and think, "you thought that was busy?!" I think it's all relative. 😉

We had the best, most rejuvenating weekend. Nothing spectacular was on the agenda, but it was the perfect mix of productivity, fun, and down time. Mid-week last week Sammy was feeling some big emotions. He said, "why are there so many days until Friday?!" Ugh. Same, buddy. We needed a quiet weekend at home to gear up for another week. 😊

Last week was Homecoming Week in our town. Sammy LOVES a parade and couldn't have been more proud to wave at the Newton Cardinals football players wearing...


Dustin's old jersey. 😊

Our church had it's annual Fall Festival. There was a blow-up inflatable, tattoos, crafts, and cotton candy. Sammy was happy to indulge in all of the above while Jack watched from his spot on my hip. Haha. 


And on Friday evening, we celebrated my sweet mama who is officially RETIRED! She has worked SO hard for SO many years, and I am so happy for her to have a chance to slow down in life. 


I love this picture of them! Everyone is looking and smiling - which is no small feat. 



Sammy had his first flag football game of the season this weekend, too! He scored two (I think) touchdowns, and mostly had fun cheering on his friends. I laughed so hard...he was smiling so big his mouthguard kept popping out. I love this little boy and his joyfulness! 

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend and are ready to kick-off this last week of September. How did that happen?! Be back tomorrow. 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!
