![Valentine A Day [14 Days of Valentines]](https://ourboylife.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/Valentine-2BA-2BDay-2-1.jpg)
When I first started blogging, one of the first things I found and tried on another blog was 14 Days of Valentines. It’s a cute and easy way to celebrate Valentine’s Day, AND it can also be fairly inexpensive too! I haven’t done it in several years but decided to go for it again this…
This is a throwback to some cards the boys made all the way back in 2016. It doesn’t seem like that would be that long ago, but the boys have changed so, so much since then! So keeping that in mind, these cards were made by a 1.5 and 6 year old. Big Brother’s hand…
Every year our family likes to reflect on what we are thankful for. I think it’s a good way to get the boys to think about all we have and how much we are blessed. We usually do a Thanksgiving Paper Chain and have even done a Thankful Jar but this year, I wanted to do…
Meet Winston. He’s an Australian Labradoodle who joined our family a little over 2 weeks ago. We just love him! He can be sweet and ornery…just like our boys! Speaking of our boys…they’re both just thrilled to have a little “brother”. Early on, he became my little shadow, and he took to laying or sitting…
Big Brother has needed somewhere to put little keepsakes for sometime now. They’ve been piling up in his dresser drawer.

We recently were able to buy a backyard play set (swing set) for the boys, and I thought I’d share some of the photos from while Jeremy and my dad were building it. There were A LOT of pieces. Jeremy says that there was not a single piece that you didn’t have to put together….
This year we stayed home and hung out at our house for 4th of July. I didn’t want to make a big production of it like we did for Little Brother’s birthday party, but I still wanted the day to be special. So I planned a few little activities to do around the house, and…
Since Little Brother loves just about anything that “goes”, we decided a Thomas The Train Birthday Party would be the perfect choice to celebrate his 3rd birthday. I did a lot of planning and searching for ideas, and I’m sharing our favorites, so you can easily learn how to plan a Thomas the Train Birthday…
Recently, we went to “A Day Out With Thomas” at the Colorado Railroad Museum. I actually chose Thomas as Little Brother’s birthday party theme with this event in mind since I already had the tickets. Little Brother loves Thomas even more since his birthday, so it was great planning! There were several activities to do…
