Kids

It is no secret that I am obsessed with my kids, as I should be. I would go to the ends of the Earth for my 3 babies. They make my heart beat and I am forever grateful Heavenly Father blessed me to be their mama! 

Soccer Tourney

Hallie subbed for Josh's soccer team this weekend. The tournament was clear up in Ogden. It was nice to see her play on Josh's team (a team we thought she might make in May) and realize she is actually one of the best on that team and truly deserves to be on the A team. I am biased, I know, but I really believe it. The team got silver and lost against one of her teammates (Liyah) who was also subbing for another team.

Aquarium

We got invited to the aquarium for a business event. It was fun. The kids had a blast. The aquarium is so nice and fun but super expensive and so we never go. But we had a great time. I sure love my family! 

Brooks lost a tooth!

Brooks lost his 2nd tooth today but his first tooth lost at home. Russ pulled it out and it was a little traumatic for Brooks. There were lots of tears and he hated the whole process but he was as brave as he could be and did great. He is now missing his top and bottom tooth but still has the cutest smile ever!

Fathers Day

Happy Father's Day to our main guy!! He is the reason we live the beautiful life we do. My kids have a safe home, full bellies, fun extracurricular activities to do, Nike shoes (haha!) and a beautiful life. We are so grateful for the amazing person he is. All 3 of my kids prefer him to me. They constantly ask when he is coming home from work. The boys ask for him to put them to bed every single night. They idolize him and he is a great one to look up to. He gives me the life I always dreamed of as a little girl. 

The kids wrapped up a game we had in our basement (haha!) and gave it. Russ got some of his favorite treats and a new tie. 

Locker Progress

The lockers are slooooooowly coming along. Unfortunately, after Russ spent hours and hours and months and months building, gluing, sanding down, and painting the doors to the lockers he realized that the doors were all 1/2" too big. It is an understatement to say he was frustrated, as anyone would. I felt so bad for him! After the frustration settled, he decided not to re-build the doors and pay someone to make the doors instead. Russ will then paint the doors after someone makes them.  

Stockton

Stockton is just the cutest little 3 year old around! He hit 1 year of doing private speech therapy this month. He is making incredible progress but our speech journey is not going to be over any time soon. There is still worry about apraxia as making certain sounds are incredibly difficult for him. He has a recent obsession with his nose and when he gets a bloody nose (or even if it is just watery from crying) he keeps a tissue on his nose for over an hour. He will freak out if you try to move the tissue before he is ready. At times, this has also woken him up at night and he wants us to "hold" pressure on his nose to stop it. Silly goose! He loves his siblings and will do and participate in whatever they are doing. He is my little caboose and I wish he would stay little forever. I sure love my side kick. 

Swim diaper on his head!

Paint tips on all 5 fingers!

He is always lining up his cars

Happy Birthday, Russ!

Happy birthday, Russ! The big 37!! The kids wrapped up a game we had in our basement and gave that to him. Haha! I gave him tickets to see Jim Gaffigan and a Flowbee hair cutting system. Russ worked on his bday but did get off a little early that we went to dinner at Smoked Tacos together. After dinner, we had ice cream cake to celebrate. 

For his birthday date we went to Ruth's Chris with the Naylor's and Malmberg's and then went to Top Golf.
