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

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...
