And just like that… summer said BYE. ✌️☀️
Summer bucket list officially complete, and yesterday we met our teachers and found our classrooms.
4th + 1st grade, here we come! 🍎✏️
How did that happen so fast?! 🥹

Cue the Creeper. 💚🟩
When your sister dreams up a Minecraft party, you happily volunteer to help make the magic happen.
From the giant Creeper centerpiece to Creeper Juice and every pixelated detail in between, the backyard officially became the Overworld.
Happy 6th Birthday, Valentino! Here’s to another year of building big dreams, going on adventures, and making memories—one block at a time. 🎮🎉💚

Cousin Crew, Cape Cod style. ☀️
A place where six-year-olds get to drive bumper boats, ice cream counts as a food group, and bedtime is merely a suggestion.
Mini golf, baseball pitches, dining alfresco, and another weekend making memories together. 🤍
These are the moments they’ll remember long after summer is over.

Kicking off Year SIX. ⚽️
Six years of big smiles, muddy cleats, endless energy, and a heart that makes everyone around you better.
You play with passion, celebrate your teammates, and remind us every day that joy is found in the little moments—whether it’s scoring a goal or blowing out candles surrounded by the people who love you.
We are so proud to be your biggest fans.
Happy Birthday, Emmett. Here’s to another year of chasing dreams, claw machine wins, kicking goals, and making memories. ❤️🥳⚽

Five years ago, we took a leap and moved our family to Charleston.
Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Zero regrets.
This week alone, the boys spent their days at what they lovingly call “shark tooth hunting camp” Coastal Expeditions Charleston — exploring remote islands, searching for fossils, kayaking alongside dolphins (a core memory for Weston), and even getting an up-close visit from Birds of Prey .
Then we wrapped up the week the Charleston way—with a stop at Pitt Street Pharmacy, Pitt Street Pharmacy where the kid-size ice cream cones are still the right price.
It’s the simple moments that remind me we made the right choice. We’re so grateful these boys get to grow up with adventures like this, surrounded by nature, curiosity, and a community that still feels a little like the good old days.
A week for the books. 🤍

The annual Hartmann 4th of July Extravaganza never disappoints, but celebrating America’s 250th anniversary made this year’s celebration feel even more memorable. 🇺🇸
Watching Bri and The Drift CHS kick off the evening, spending time with friends, and ending the night with the most incredible fireworks show made for one unforgettable Fourth.
Grateful for traditions like these and the community that makes them so special. ❤️🤍💙

Bri, you are the strength of our family in so many ways.
You never shy away from the fray—you jump right into the middle seat, jiu jitsu matches, soccer practices, bedtime routines, and all the beautiful chaos that comes with raising boys. Watching you raise Weston and Emmett into the talented, kind, and respectful young men they are becoming is such a blessing.
Thank you for choosing us, for showing up every day, and for leading our family with strength, patience, and love.
Happy Father’s Day. 143, today and always. 🤍
Keep scrolling for a then & now from our family vacation in Cape May—eight years of love, growth, and a whole lot of memories. 😉🥰
