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

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 ...
