  • This past weekend I took my two oldest boys to the Nutcracker Tea Party – what has surely become a fun tradition for us this time of year and we had such a festive time!  They were the handsome-est boys in the place and had the attention and admiration of all the young princesses at…

  • Last night was Nathan's flag football end-of-season party at his coaches house.  It was tons of fun and the best part? Nathan walked away with a fab football trophy! He now has soccer, violin, t-ball, and football trophies showcased in his bedroom.  I must put up that wall shelf I bought several weeks ago so…

  • We couldn't have picked a colder day to take the kids to the pumpkin patch…seriously!  It was so windy and chilly but we had a great time and pretty much had the place to ourselves too! Pumpkin carving was of course in order as well.  The boys enjoyed drawing their faces on while Grammy &…

  • Let me preface this post by saying I love my husband very much.  I am true to the vows I spoke over 8 years ago.  But as I write this, I'm pretty darn irritated. This day has been full of activity…only the third real day of school for Nathan, a Kindergarten outing at a local…

  • Nathan drew this a couple of days ago when he overheard David and I discussing grilling for dinner.  We later asked him to explain to us what the drawing was and he retorted, "NO MORE GRILLING!"  ♥

  • This past weekend we headed out to Summit Fair to catch their Back 2 School festival and grand opening festivities.  When I heard that one of the kids' favorite Disney acts, Choo Choo Soul, was going to be there, we were all in! The festival was actually a pretty cool concept.  It was on the grounds…

  • A slew of things have been keeping me busy for the past week or so.  While I've enjoyed the time away from blogging, I am starting to miss it.  I've decided to indulge myself back to mommy blogger world with a recap post, of sorts. My boys have enjoyed being boys, brothers, and most of all,…

  • Recently I shared the awesomely cool Lego blog with Nathan that I came across by chance one day.  He has truly been inspired and decided to start creating his own little Lego scenes.  He's claimed the ledge beneath our fireplace as his 'Lego Town' and is seen there daily coming up with different scenes.  Then, just two…

  • WOW!! Our backyard now has a LIFE!  Thank you so much to Grammy & Popo for your investment in Nathan & Will's playtime (and our backyard!).  I fell in love with this outdoor playscape the moment I walked into Costco and saw it back in early Spring.  Mom (a.k.a., Grammy) vowed to help make it happen! …

  • Have I ever mentioned I love being a boy-mom?  I am SO certain I will be that mom who is the loudest at football, baseball, soccer games – whatever.  I don't consider myself athletic at all which is ironic that I love the fact that my boys will soon have our family calendars jam packed…
