Weekend || Boston to the Beach

Published on July 17, 2017 by 7friarysLeave a comment

I don’t usually get the Monday morning blues in the summer but I was really sad to see Monday get here so quickly after such a fun weekend.

We took the kids into Boston on Saturday. Jon’s wanted to take us into Chinatown for a while now. I think it’s another one of those “I miss London” things. I know that a lot of people complain about the food in London but it was honestly some of the best we ever had. So we headed out into the city for some lunch (London’s was better but this was still good).

Don’t let Beckett’s face fool you, he loved it! Ha! His appetite started picking back up this weekend and he spent the entire lunch flirting with the cute waitress.

We had to run into Primark while we were there. I love that we have two near us now!

Sunday we tried a new (to us) beach up near us.

It was a perfect beach day!!

We stopped for some pizza on the way home

How cute is she??

This weekend was full!! Jon took Megan, Chloe and Lucy to the drive-in on Friday. Emma was out with Collin. Once Beck went to sleep I had the entire house to myself and it was glorious! Hahaha! I love my kids but sometimes I crave the quiet. Saturday night Megan and Emma went to another movie. So Jon and I had a quiet night with Chloe (Lucy decided watching YouTube was more fun than hanging out with us). I’m just gonna add that I love the fact that my girls all love hanging out with each other. They’re always off shopping together or going out to eat or the movies. They’ll run up to Starbucks and get a quick desert together once a week too. They’re so lucky to have one another!! Love them ❤️

A couple more photos from the weekend:

Grocery shopping with half our crew

Moment like that are ones I ALWAYS want to remember because as fun as the city and beach are our everyday moments are by far my favorite.

I ordered Beckett some new fall shoes and he was obviously excited when they came in

Hahaha! This baby cracks me up!

Happy Monday!!

Life, This Week

Published on July 14, 2017 by 7friarysLeave a comment

I have 600+ photos on my phone from the last 10 days. This summer has been kinda funny, we’re either really busy or really bored. The weather this week has been horrible!! Hello… 58 degrees yesterday!! So the past few days definitely fall into the boring category.

Last week we spent the afternoon and evening with Kirsten and her family. They just put in a new pool and the kids had a blast!

I just love that picture up above of Kirsten feeding our babies. We’ve been friends since fifth grade and have gone through EVERYTHING together. Those two sweet little babes are our rainbow babies ❤️

We had a ton of fun that day and maybe a little too much wine

Before the weather turned spring like, it was HOT HOT HOT!!

He was hamming it up until he heard something in the woods

Getting all five of these kids to sit down and take a picture for me has been hard lately! Seems like someone is always missing.

Sometimes I find cute selfies on my phone and I want to keep them forever because I know that next year this little girl will be off to college and I won’t find these gems from her anymore

Beckett and I are always taking selfies too!

Speaking of Beckett, this little boy has hit the toddler picky eating phase. It is so hard to get food into this boy lately!! It’s frustrating because he used to be such a great eater and now I’m constantly worried that he’s not getting enough calories throughout the day. Yesterday he sat down and ate about 30 mini pretzel sticks with hummus. Yay!!

I heard about a frozen yogurt place that sells Dole pineapple soft serve, like the kind I obsess over in Disney, so we took a ride out there to see if it was any good. It was absolutely delicious!! If it was 20 degrees warmer I would’ve closed my eyes and pretended I was in the Magic Kingdom.

Lucy started gymnastics this week and she’s loving it!! She and her friend got moved up to the 10 year old class so she’ll start that next week.

I have to throw this last picture in here because Beckett was climbing the rails while I was on the computer and I kept telling him to get down. He would turn his little face around, look me right in the eyes and yell “get down”. like he was totally mocking me. He’s such a little stinker!!

Let’s hope that the weather starts to warm up so we can get on with all the fun summer activities we have waited all year for.

Happy Weekend!!

Pre 4th Festivities

Published on July 2, 2017July 2, 2017 by 7friarysLeave a comment

This is one of my favorite Instagram weekends! I love seeing all the cute little babies and kids all decked out in their red, white and blue outfits celebrating our great country! You all know I’m a sucker for traditions and this weekend we had our town parade and fireworks. Such a fun day!!

My Patriotic babies

Emma and Colin

A cute dancing baby and his equally as cute daddy

Beckett wasn’t a huge fan of the fireworks. He moved from person to person burying his head in their neck to pretend that the sky wasn’t exploding with fire. He didn’t cry but he was definitely not a fan!

As you can see we were short another child during the festivities. We missed you, Megan! We did get to meet up with our friends at both the parade and fireworks, though. It was a really great way to kick off summer!!

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸

Gillette Stadium

A few pictures from our annual trip to Gillette with the kids. Some of the kids.

I have to admit that it’s a little sad not having the whole crew together when we go off on these family outings. But, we still had a GREAT time with these three

loved seeing all FIVE trophies!!

Beckett was so cute! He kept throwing his hands up in the air and yelling Touchdown! So funny that he remembered that from the season.

I started taking these Wilfork pictures while Beckett was in my belly 💗

After walking around the Hall of Fame (and yes I cried during the movie….again) we stopped for lunch at Patriot Place

I probably shouldn’t say this out loud but I am SO ready for football season to begin!! LOVE me so Patriot football!

I’m trying to convince Jon into buying me Patriot tickets for my birthday. He’d rather watch from home but I HAVE to go to one this year!!

Today is Lucy’s last day of third grade. I know I say it every year but this has GOT to be the fastest year EVER!!

Jon took Emma, Megan and Chloe to the Red Sox game the other night

I had a very nice, relaxing night with Lucy and Beck. I bought Beck his very first Happy Meal. He wasn’t impressed

He follows her all over the house. The other morning when we went to wake Lucy up he crawled in bed with her

Jon and I took our weekly (sometimes biweekly) date to our favorite restaurant and yes, I ordered the same thing AGAIN. It’s actually the only thing I get there because it’s my FAVORITE

A few more photos from the week

Summer vacation officially starts for us in 1.5 hours!!!

Our lives lately consist of lots of visitors and little sleep. I’m not complaining about either. I LOVE having people here to meet Beckett! I also love my quiet time with him when he wakes in the middle of the night. I like it more when it’s every 3-4 hours instead of every 45 minutes.

Life is starting to get back to normal and we’re definitely falling back into our busy daily routine. The photos on my phone have been piling up over the last couple of months.

Loved this little fall outfit on Lucy!!

Megan had homecoming a few weeks ago

We celebrated Jon’s 41st birthday

My sad attempt at catching the blood moon

Megan found my cheer jacket in the closet

Life has been busy and it’s been wonderful. We’re trying to soak up all of these fun fall and newborn moments.

Colton came up for a visit with my parents. It’s been a while since we saw him and we sure did miss him.

We’ve been spending a lot of time at home this summer. Way to hard to go anywhere with workers in the house

Megan and her friend, Rachael went to Taylor Swift on Friday.

While she was there she ran into our favorite Desmarais girls

We hung out with Mimi and Baba while they were there. Lucy and Chloe took advantage of the pool

Daddy taught Lucy how to golf

And baba taught her how to play cards

We started school shopping this week

Shopping was obviously exhausting! So we stopped at Cupcake Charlies on the way out

And one of Emma and Daisy from this morning. Daisy likes to hold your hand while you pet her

A few moments from the end of June:

Lucy had her 7 year old well check this month.

She also had her author’s tea in her classroom. It was fun getting to go into the classroom and read all the kids’ stories. Lucy wrote her book about London. I love how she is standing in front of Big Ben. Too cute!!

I was so excited to get my new car seat!!

My Meg and me

Jon and I went to Lucy’s field day

My 25 week bump

Chloe already got in a beach day. I’m a little jealous

26 week bump

I love to watch her play! Especially in that morning light.

I’m all caught up with my June photos.
The summer has been quiet so far. A few birthday parties here and there. A few play dates and sleepovers with friends. Movie and lunch trips with the girls. A slow, relaxing summer!! Just what we wanted 🙂

We had Megan’s cheer banquet a few weeks ago. It was really sad at the end when the coach announced that she was retiring. The girls love her so much!

I took this picture to send to Kirsten when she was 2 weeks over due. Boobs, belly and ice cream

The carnival came back to town. Being pregnant is the best excuse to stay off the rides!

I’ve got one of his drawers filled

Ordered this car seat is charcoal yesterday.

Went on Lucy’s field trip yesterday to see a play called Click Clack Moo

Emma and Chloe worked on some paper flowers for Lucy’s birthday party this weekend

This morning I got to snuggle this little girls for 2 whole hours!! So excited to finally meet her!!

April is over and it’s half way through May! Time to upload some of my recent iPhone photos so I don’t forget 🙂

We’ve been to the movies a lot this winter and spring. Lucy loves to stop and pose in front of all the kid movie displays.

We also took the girls to the drive-in for the first time this season. Not sure how many more times we’ll be able to go this summer. I was already pretty uncomfortable sitting in the car for that long!

We did our yard clean up. Well, Jon did. I pretty much stood there with the hose making sure that the forest didn’t catch on fire.

We were psyched to hear that Riley’s State Gymnastic Competition was up here at our high school this year. We got to see her in action (she’s awesome) and then got to spend the day with them. LOVE LOVE LOVE our Desmarais girls!!

Lucy had her first grade play at school. She played the Mom. She did an excellent job!! She had quite a crowd come and see her too. She called us all “her people”.

She helped design the t-shirt that everyone wore. She drew the car.

When I was pregnant with Megan and worked down the hall from Jon, he would deliver these to my desk every afternoon. They were called Big Kats back then and were my biggest craving!! He brought me home a couple last week. 🙂 Wonder why that scale keeps going up…..

The weather has been BEAUTIFUL!! But, I haven’t been able to enjoy any of it because of my allergies. They are SO bad this year!!

Emma is home for the summer!!!

She celebrated her 19th birthday! That’s a pretty sad looking cake but we really did have a nice couple of days. I drove down on her actual birthday and took her shopping and out for lunch. She moved back home the following day. So nice having her back here and having my dinner table full at night again (one of my favorite things).

Yesterday was Mother’s Day. It was also Emma’s first day back at her old job so that’s why she isn’t pictured. It was a wonderful day!! My favorite part of the day was when we first woke up. All the girls came into my bed with their cards and gifts and we sat there talking and laughing. Little baby boy kicked the entire time. Made this mama’s heart SO full!! It was a perfect start to a wonderful day. We drove down to see both our moms. Then headed to Newport. It was so nice to be able to be outside breathing in that ocean air!!
