Frozen yogurt date night with my boys

What's better then a late night date with the 2 cutest boys EVER?... NOTHING, that's what! Last night I had a fun frozen yogurt date with my boys. Love spending time with them!! And the sunset was to die for...

Baby's first football game... DUCKS

The saturday after our big trip to Illinois we headed to Eugene for the UofO duck game... Jarrod's coworker was officiating the game and gave us 4 tickets. For those of you who don't know, our household is divided, meaning I'm a OSU Beavers fan and Jarrod is a UofO Duck fan... so I was a little reluctant to have the Ducks be his first football game, but I was the bigger person and made the ultimate sacrifice... and agreed. haha. We invited our good friends Caleb and Lindsey and met Jarrod's parents down there too. Brayden LOVED the game and I must admit it was pretty fun... The game was a blowout, but still good. I can't write this post without mentioning... OSU WON TOO! Whoop whoop, we also got to see my cousins who have seasons tickets... Love them! Besides getting rear-ended and running on virtually no sleep after traveling cross country the night before... it was a good time!

I was upset about wearing a yellow shirt... but excited about my Beaver sticker I got to wear on my hand! 

 Jarrod was so excited for Brayden's first football game! 

Team Fogle at the Duck game

Win for Oregon - Win for Oregon State - Couldn't ask for a better night with my boys! 

It was so loud in the stadium, but baby was so sleepy being it was a late game. Sleepy, Sleepy Boy!

SURPRISE trip to visit The Lewis Family!

Last week Brayden and I surprised my brother, sister in-law and nephews in Illinois. He has been deployed over seas for a few months so I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to go and visit. My mom already had this trip planned and was suppose to go with my little sister, but Rachel couldn't go at the last minute so Brayden and I decided to join! The trip started off rocky because my mom was SOOO sick (but after a few doctors appointments, we were better) and the SURPRISE went off perfectly thanks to my mom and Emily!  

PS. Brayden did so good on all the flights and loved watching the airplanes!

Here is a little photo sequence of our very fun trip!

We love Uncle Jesse "Bawk Bawk"

Sidewalk Chalk Day



Heading home after a week of much needed family time... but we sure did miss Dada! 


Family time is amazing, and it really makes me wish we lived closer. All the boys are so cute together and I hope one day they can grow up together. It's crazy it's been so long, but my brother and I share a weird bond that can never be broken or shared with anyone else! The only way this trip could have been better is if Jarrod and Rachel could have joined. Hopefully Soon!
