He made it back for picture day! Phew!

Kindergarten has been a little rough for Jackson's immune system. He has been more sick in the last few months since school started than he has in all 5 years leading up to kindergarten. Poor guy. In fact, he was sick the entire week of picture day last semester and they did NOT have a picture make-up day. WHAT!?!? Who doesn't have a school picture make-up day?? My child's school, that's who! I was so disappointed that my little man wasn't going to have kindergarten pictures. Until, that is, I got a letter in his weekly folder (last week) that informed me that class pictures were today, AND they would be taking individual pictures as well with packages that could be ordered when the proofs come in. This news almost made me cry, I was that upset that he didn't get kindergarten pictures. But then, my little man got a stomach virus that wouldn't go away the week of picture day- AAUUGGHH! Seriously!? But, thankfully, he stopped vomiting just in time to make it back to school for PICTURE DAY!!! I'm so relieved and excited for his kindergarten picture day today! And so was he! He stopped anyone who would listen to him to ask them, "Do you want to see my smile for picture day!?!", to which every one (including strangers) sweetly replied, "Of course, I do!". Thank goodness for patient staff and parents that indulged my 5 year old's request to share his handsome picture day smile. He's so cute and sweet he makes his mama so proud.

Here is a sneak peak at my little man before school this morning-

And, of course, Austin needed to show off his "'cool picture day mile"-

It's baaaaaaaaaack... The Nuffer Family Summer Camp 2018

Man, it's been awhile. A long while.

The blog is baaaaaack! And so is the Nuffer Family Summer Camp!!!!!

The NFSC is going to be pretty different this year. The big boys need to be challenged so much more than a few crafts and story books like when I first started the summer camp many moons ago. With that said, I don't really know exactly what it will look like because I have to test the waters to see what interests them and what doesn't. My mom gave each of the boys a Little Passports membership, so we'll be using those in our weekly themes as well. I have a preschooler, a second grader, and a fifth grader- needless to say, it should be interesting. but no big deal, right?
Riiiiiiiiiight.

Every day they'll spend their mornings doing some chores, spending some time outside, reading independantly, doing a little work in grade-level appropriate workbooks, doing an NFSC activity or two, and I think I'm going to teach the older boys to write in cursive. Phew!

Brian and Whitney get married!

Our family has been waiting for this day for well over a year! My little brother, Brian, finally married Whitney a couple weeks ago. Such a wonderful weekend!
I mean, how cute are they?!

The first night was the rehearsal, of course, but I didn't get many pictures.
I do have a fun little story, though...
Jackson was the ring bearer, and Whitney wanted him to walk arm and arm with the flower girl, Delaney. But, he wouldn't do it. I thought maybe it was because he didn't know her before that night, but no, that's way too simple for Jackson. Jackson didn't want to walk down the aisle with Delaney because he thought if he walked down the (wedding) aisle with this stranger-girl, he'd be married to her! bahahahahahahahaha! That is hysterical!
Once we assured him that they would not be married if he walked arm and arm with this (super sweet) little girl, he was totally fine with it.
But look at their little faces. And their little fists. Hahahahaha! This is t…

A Whole Lot of Random...

You guys know that my children are crazy. And hilarious. And random.
So here's a bunch of random moments from the Nuffer Nest. Enjoy.
Sometimes, you just feel like Yoshi.

And sometimes, a tiny person steals my phone and takes 458 selfies that look just like this:

And sometimes, mom and grandma spend way too much time at Costco.

Other times, you smash your finger in a door and have to take a "quick" trip to urgent care. At least it wasn't broken.

And sometimes, life just gets hairy...

Other times, the Captain Underpants underwear you just got for your birthday has a cape, so you have to show it off by not wearing pants.

Sometimes, you're as cute as can be when you get a free apple at the grocery store.
(You guys, look at that little round belly- I just want to tickle and squeeze him!)

And sometimes, your brother helps you hang on when life gets tough.

Other times, they're there to give you a hug.

Sometimes, your future is so bright, you have to wear shades.
