Catch up

My blog has always been sort of an online album with descriptions of all our memories. I still haven’t decided if I’ll continue on this way or change it up. I do love being able to read back on different stages of our lives and how far we’ve come; hence, growing towards a dream... my 10 years ago self  had many of the things I have today on my vision board! 

Back to being “back” since I missed sooo many months of posting, I’ll quickly add 100 pics below haha!! With short descriptions. Jusssst so I can have them logged here! Haha 

Then the next blog post I want focused on our February family trip. You can see many of the pics on my Instagram too. 

Ok here we go!

August 2018! Baby M turned 3!!!!

 This little 3 year old is full of energy but loves a good cuddle. He’s super sweet and loves singing. Especially Drake songs. Gods plan his fave! 

My birthday is in August too! This year (2018) I had a little weekend getaway with my mom, who shares the same birthday as I, and my sister and aunt! We went to two sisters winery and had soo much fun. I can’t wait to do it again this year! 

This summer we got a boat! Soo many of our weekends and weeknights we were on the water! 

Ok this post might be longer than I thought haha. 

We can’t forget our yearly traditions of camping! 

Last year was even more fun with baby M being older and loving the great outdoors. 

Over the summer we decorated the new home and had many family get togethers. 

We had our thanksgiving day turkey tradition. The kids love making the turkey all together. It’s a whole family event! 

Oh wait, can’t forget that Mr K also started a new school! He was so brave! I was so worried about the switch, but as always he shocked me! He loves his new school. 

Ok where are we. Hmm. Our fam traditions. TFC soccer, great wolf lodge, Santa! Christmas and New Years! 

Kris turned 7!!! It’s been Minecraft everything, everyday! 

Our unfinished backyard has a hill which was the BEST this winter! Soo much fun! 

Great wolf lodge is always so much fun. 

Santa! Haha baby M was still terrified. We all had to sit on Santa. 

Happy New Year! Haha. We hosted NYE at our house and everyone had a blast. 



Winter has been long! And cold! 

As I quickly summed up the last 9 months 🤦🏻‍♀️ I wish I would have blogged each of those moments with more detail! For now I just wanted to get up to date. Although I missed a whole lot! But you try scrolling through thousands of pics haha. Not easy! 

So that leaves me to my next blog post before I get back to regularly posting.

Our 2019 family vacay! 😘😘if you read up until now you are awesome. I’ll be back soon! 

first few weeks of school!

I wasn't nervous at all about Mr K heading to grade 1... up until the night before! A flood of emotions overwhelmed me. I was nervous for him! Going to a big kid class and the big kid yard! 

Little K was ready that morning. He was calm and cool, didn't say much but  he seemed way more ready for grade 1 than I was! Haha

Baby M had a hard time at daycare the past week because big brother leaves the room quickly in the mornings after they get dropped off. During the summer they both had summercamp at the same daycare Little K would stay at least a good hour with baby M before going to the big kid class but now Mr K heads over to the big kid morning class right away and baby M caught on to that. :( he's adjusting but it was a hard first week for him! Missing his big brother! 

He looks so big! He had a great first week and another great second week. 

He's enjoying grade 1! He loves his teacher and friends. He's practicing his writing and reading without a fight. He loves drawing ninjas still haha it's the cutest. I've seen so much positive change in him and it's only been 2 weeks. The next stage for him is creeping up. He'll be 6 in a month and a bit. 6! Of course it'll be a ninja birthday :) 

Yes that's a ninja. He's just breaking in his Halloween costume haha. 

  

Our nightly routine (when we start early enough) always includes reading before sleep. Baby M has his book that he repeats "daghoo" aka dog for the paw patrol book. Little K will start with the books that he is familiar with, that are easy for him to read, and I'll read a new book and have them follow along. 

We can't wait to see what else grade 1 brings! Love these little boys so much. 💞

SK celebration!

Today was our end of year celebration! A special one because MrK has completed kindergarten!!! And will begin grade 1 in September! He's grown soo much since that first day of JK! 

First day of JK 

First day of SK 

Last day of SK 

We had to go to the gym and wait for all the kindred to walk in. As they were walking in there was someone holding back the line. Of course it was little K! He was stalling and wasn't sure where we were and didn't want to walk in that big crowd. When he finally walked in and spotted us, he ran over to give me the biggest hug! Totally melted my heart!

Mr K! You are so sensitive. You know exactly what to say to melt this mamas heart!

You love to draw ninjas and hearts haha great combo 

You love love love ALL nerfguns and love to explain to us about how each one works exactly. 

You are very attentive and pay attention to everything! You are sooo in tune with your feelings.

We can have big boy convos with you that you understand! You are 5! 

You love to laugh! You laugh hysterically at things your little brother says.

You love salmon sashimi. If you need to pick a restaurant, you will always pick sushi! 

You know what money is! How to collect it! And how to spend it haha. You know you need to save certain amounts to get those things you want! 

You like going to soccer, but you still have more interest in the grass, flowers and the weather... oh and the snacks. 

You rather a Starbucks cake pop over Timbits.  But you do love a sprinkle donut! 

I can write and write! These are just s few things about you right now! We can't wait to see what grade 1 brings for you. We are so proud of everything you do! 

We love you! 

Now back to our day! 

 

There were stations of fun for everyone. We played, chatted, spent time with great friends and teachers. It was a perfect celebration.

After the celebration we walked over to a nearby shop for ice cream! 

 

 Then we headed back to the school for baby M's daycare BBQ! 

It was a day full of fun! 

 Let the summer begin!!!!
