March was largely taken up by preparing for and enjoying Hawaii, but we still had a few little things I want to remember. Disney days, of course. Finn got a nice big shiner. Some funny emails from the boys while we were in Hawaii, spelling errors and all: Our brand…
Going to Hawaii with some of our oldest and dearest friends was a dream come true. Troy and I were the first to arrive on the island because we traveled the shortest distance from California. We soaked up the views from the air as we spotted O’ahu. We stocked up…
February began with the 100th day of school, where Crew dressed like he was 100 years old. He made a collection of 100 pom pom balls. Blake participated in an interactive Walk Through the American Revolution. We did a few Disney days. Love that uncle photobomb. Crew and Finn found…
We celebrated Nash’s 9th birthday with his favorite activity. We had very melty pizookie instead of cake. The boys love to mix around the letters on the letter board. A few days later, I took Nash on his Disney date. We met up with our cute friends who were in…
We kicked off November with a trip to the orthodontist to trade in Halloween candy for cash. The boys were very excited about those crisp dollar bills. We couldn’t let a month pass without visiting our favorite place. We also couldn’t let a month pass without an inevitable sick kid….
Here are a few things that happened in October, according to my phone. Crew settled right in to the kindergarten routine and he loved seeing so many friends from church at school. Sometimes we had picnics on early-out Wednesdays. Finn and I walked over to pick him up every day…
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…
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…
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…
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…
