Let the summer begin!

Now that school is out, summer has begun! I'm not doing the Nuffer Family Summer Camp quite as structured as I usually do, but you can click here , if you want last year's NFSC plans.  This year, I'm going to randomly select boxes from Little Passports that my mom had sent to the boys last year.  We have some left over, so this summer we'll go through the rest of them.  We'll also participate in the Lubbock Library festivities, and whatever else that comes up this summer.  It's going to be super relaxed and a lot less structured.  I mean, they still have to read every day, write in a jourmal, and do some daily chores, but overall, this summer is going to be relaxed. So far this summer, the boys have taken advantage of the summer reading program all on their own.  I'm not mandating that they read daily until next week. It's actually Jackson that has taken the reading initiative and the other boys are following his lead. Last week we surprised

The end of school; the end of an era

Soooo, it's been awhile since I've posted, and by "awhile" I mean a year ago.  Oops.  I'm so busy during the school year with my own classes that I forget to post in the blog.  I'll try to do better, especially for our family that lives far away. The end of this school year was crazy!  I felt like I was running in circles working in the PTA- there was so much to do!  I thought joining the PTA would be some good volunteer time at the boys' school- I had NO idea just how much time it takes!  Next year, I'll be a little more prepared because I know what's coming.  And that's not even the crazy part- Jackson has finished elementary and Harrison graduated from pre-k.  That's crazy!  Where did the time go?! Harrison's graduation was first, so I'll start there.  It was soooo sweet and so cute, and I cried like a baby because he IS my baby.  This tiny person is such a perfect little caboose for our family.  Recently, I've been think

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

4th of July 2018

The 4th was so nice this year because I lounged around all day until it was time for fireworks that night.  Because, I don't know if you guys know this or not, but Texas is hot.  Really, really hot.  The town parade is too peopley, and it's hot.  Super hot.  So the perfect 4th is hanging out with my family on the inside where it's not hot. That evening we met up with some good friends, and a new friend, for some fireworks in the park.  We can't have any family events without this little ham: And I got quite a few pictures of these two because they're so cute!  But I'll spare you and only post one. You might be thinking, where's Austin.  He's here: ...in the car because he's afraid of nature, and he's allergic to it anyway.  He asked to get in the car, and he hung out there the first half of the night.  He was happy as can be in there! Hanging out: Getting ready for the show to start: Soon the show started!
