Snuggly Puppies, Crazy Cookies, Cute Kids

The last few weeks have flown by and I have not been keeping up! I have so many cute pictures of puppies and kids and cookies. Ruthie and Hudson are inseparable and having 2 puppies is sort of insane sometimes (potty training times two is NO JOKE), but it is the BEST thing we could have done. They play from the moment they wake up until they crash asleep at the end of the day. They run and chase and frolic. They pounce on each other and wrestle and snuggle and they are so cute together I can’t imagine ever having just one puppy ever again.

We joined the YMCA so I could practice swimming before my lifeguard re-certification. It’s been very fun for the boys and I to go play and they are very excited for swim lessons to begin in June.

By the time May is over, I will have made 46 DOZEN cookies. That is OVER 500 cookies. I have had so many custom orders and I really enjoy a challenge.

We had a playdate at Richardson Nature Center with Skylar and Phoebe. It was SUCH a nice day outside and they had a ton of fun exploring and playing.

On the same day, our neighbors had a Cinco de Mayo party (both the husband and wife’s birthday is May 5!). They had a pinata! We are realizing that we have VERY fun neighbors and there’s always someone to visit with or something happening in our neighborhood. I feel very lucky to not only have a house we love but also a neighborhood where we get invited to parties with pinatas!

The boys and I all had dentist appointments and I was really happy with how well they did. The dentist also discovered a loose tooth in Xander’s mouth while she was cleaning his teeth! 

. 

We had another playdate, this time with Xander’s bestie Leo at a cool park we’ve never been to.

Xander has been super obsessed with legos recently and has been putting together sets on his own. 

.  

On Mother’s Day, we went to Danny and Heather’s house where Danny made possibly the best steak I’ve ever eaten with a side of lobster. It was such an incredible meal! 

. 

Xander’s lego obsession reached new levels when he realized he had enough money in his piggy bank to actually buy some legos. We went to Target and the boys looked at and touched every single toy and then eventually made their selections. They were very proud to make their first purchases and now they are eager to earn more money for their next shopping trip.

Our neighbors (the same ones who had the Cinco de Mayo party) love the puppies and so when we were chatting, we all agreed a window in the fence was a much needed adjustment for both of our yards. Nate installed it and now the puppies can poke their heads into the neighbors’ yard to say hi. Our neighbor took the cutest picture of what they can see from their side.

On Sundays, it’s my day to sit on the couch and drink coffee and relax in the morning. Lately, there has been less quiet relaxing and more of 2 puppies wrestling on top of me. 

. 

Today the boys were at my mom’s house and they were VERY excited that Danny and Heather came over for a pickle ball lesson. Uncle Danny had his hat on backwards and soon after, both boys’ had rotated their own. 
. 

The weather has been so warm and wonderful, so we are spending as much time outside as we can. The boys drive around, the puppies chase the boys- it’s utter chaos. Nate and I do our best to ignore the madness and enjoy our patio while sipping a drink. 

The week ahead is SO busy- here we go!
