AGT Superfans
We were on a major America’s Got Talent kick this year. We drove up to LA to see a grand total of FIVE recordings. It was so easy to snag tickets and we got so wrapped up in the season that it got kind of addicting! We kicked off the…
September Little Things
We hit September head on with school and activities. It was rare to not be running around each evening, but I loved catching an occasional golden hour at the end of our street. We got roped into buying books at the back-to-school book fair like always. With Finn away at…
August Little Things
We kicked off August with Junior Lifeguards. This time, the little brothers joined the daycamp lineup. The camp is a vigorous mix of ocean safety and swimming skills. The rotations switch each day and they find out immediately when they arrive each morning if the dreaded “swim-run-swim” is on the…
Snow Cones and Raining Lava
Before leaving Vegas, Crew and Finn were happy to try out our friends’ new snow cone machine. We sent them in the backyard with their flavored ice to prevent a sticky mess in the house. The funniest conversations took place between the two of them, as well as new, morbid…
Utah According to My Phone
We packed in a lot during our week in Utah. We spent time with family and friends on the lake, we went on hikes and walks, we enjoyed an outdoor concert, and we soaked up down time around the cabin. I have just a few more things captured by my…
July Little Things
We kicked off July by getting serious about swim lessons. I enrolled all the boys in lessons at the same time, but since Blake was already practicing with the swim team and didn’t need lessons, he took a diving course so he would have something to do too. He absolutely…
June Little Things
The phone camera was a great invention. Sure, the pictures aren’t always top notch, but that handy device in my back pocket happens to be there to grab more often than my real camera. It captures so many little things that I want to remember. June started out with a…
Spring According to My Phone
As usual, much of our on-the-go activities ended up on my phone camera roll. Finn tagged along for many baseball games and practices. Blake did an overnight sleep study to see if his large tonsils were obstructing his sleep and needed to be removed. Thankfully, the results determined he wouldn’t…
Root Root Root for the Red Sox
Can you guess which team we rooted for? We love it when the Red Sox come to town! It isn’t Fenway Park, but Angel Stadium will do to watch our favorite baseball team.
Winter According to my Phone
It still amazes me that we can can sit outside and eat ice cream cones during the winter. Crew had an incentive program at preschool that we rewarded with an ice cream date every few months. Sometimes Finn got to tagalong too. “Wear a winter apparel item day” at preschool…
