Some years we are great at incorporating our school year theme into our lives and revisiting the theme throughout the year. This year was not one of those years. Most of us forgot what our theme was immediately after our traditional “Back to School Fancy Dinner.” Our house entered mass…
We were so excited to have three boys all at the same school this year. Blake, the big fifth grader, started his last year of elementary school, Crew started his first year of elementary school, and Nash fell right in the middle. Finn started preschool and was thrilled to have…
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…

In August, we packed up and headed to the mountains for a week to spend time with family, exploring and boating. I always say that I prefer the ocean over the mountains, but there is something special about the mountains in the summer. We spent our first night in Park…
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…
