Sometimes Finn is sly enough to sneak his nie-night into Target. When you’re the baby, you get away with a lot. It’s a sad day when Finn’s beloved stuffed animal has to be washed. He stands on a stool next to the washing machine and watches it spin. I took…
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 kicked off December with Blake’s birthday and our sweet old neighbor girls brought him a gift. He had a backyard movie night birthday party with a bunch of friends. I helped in the kindergarten STEM lab a few times a month. There were lots of high-tech activities to…
Crew got to dress up like a reindeer for his kindergarten holiday production. Looking through these photos makes me laugh every time. The too-small shirt and the sock tail dragging down his pants. It’s all too good. Crew’s performance was quite entertaining as well. He made sure to pull some…
Blake and Nash both performed at their Christmas Piano Recital and earned some awesome end of the year awards. Blake earned first place in a year long contest for the second year in a row. The contest was a point system among 75+ students based on practice, attitude and preparedness….

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 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…
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…
