Thing 1 and Chloe

Once I guess one trip after school in the sand at the park was all it took for Chloe and thjng1 to be best buddies. Thing 2 loves to dig even more he loves to direct diggin and when Chloe was up to the challenge there were some amazing exch ages like. 

"Wow this girl is awesome" 

She can really dig and she is just six!

So thing 1 gave her a gift of the toy he found on the way back to the car! Apologized for calling her annoying earlier that same week. And she in return created this amazing book for him! Showing their two adventures! Sooo adorable! 

Seriously adorable! 

The fish give his first talk in primary!!

JustOHe's six years old, he's in live with legos, he loves watching scary movies and this week he couldn't sleep in bed as he was brushing his teeth. I asked him to say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to mcalm him so he could sleep. He did and fell asleep really quite quickly after. 

Now today the primary asked him give a talk and he stood at the pulpit of like a good solid minute of silence.  Just love this kid and totally doing this during my next talk! 

Restaurant Madhouse

Yesterday was amazing the sunset we caught was beautiful.the little light was the moon coming out.  Pat got his new bike that is super fast. Its an older marin. which doesnt mean much to me but he knows he can hall. He had us all ride at night with little lights and it was really fun. The kiddos need so much a bike ride in the am before we go to school. It relaxes them so much. Breakfast picnics would be so fun! 

I actually got an oreck vacuum for a whopping 50 on Craig's list. It looks like its been used but not abused. We will be abusing it! I used it yesterday and was shocked at how clean it got the carpets. 

Even with the other "good vacuums" they haven't done the job this one has. It's ridiculously light so going up stairs and down isn't gonna be a problem at all. 

I posted this video on fb and need to repost it on YouTube so I can have it there. It was the active version of the picture of us down there. We had cleaned the church and then We jumped over to I hop. The kids waiting for the food went a little berserk. They are soooo funny. The fish did the hula. Thing 2  sticking her mouth through a hole she made in her menu started singing. I was laughing so hard. The band not so much. Thing 1  literally was the one who was just watching and just laughing. He has mellowed out so much and become a great little young man. Can't wait to see who he gets as teachers. And I would love to home school him. Just to hang out with him more. I will for sure be in the 

June....

This marks three years of no preventative action taken to have one more little one. Hmmmm I might be making that appointment for that tube test.... 

Summer Day 1

Having so much fun playing on our first day Of summer. We are trying games before screens this week;) marbles with painters tape has really worked out. 

Then there is always a new lego creation of thing 1 he's amazing with the structures lately. 

Editing and Me

I remember the laundry. Doing it is another thing. 

So many different ways to dres up photos and I love them all. 

S'mores on enhanced performance mode.

Cookies

Reese's peanut butter cups and you you have some seriously sugared up kids! We had a blast! 

Great sandwhich. Barfs later that night:(

We were off to ironman 3 and stopped by here for dinner. Kids hated the sandwich but the price was right. The band and I loved it. But I'm queezy and the fish threw up popcorn all night long. Don't think he'll be eating any of that anytime soon:( 

Little birthday girl turns 8

Seriously I am not sure how I got here but I'm for sure here.

Pictures are worth a thousand words.

Mostly because I think I'll forget to keep writing on here. But mostly because I am gonna be down for a couple of days and can get this done.
Let's write on the blog.
I have started some picture books to file away for the kids. I need to get the pictures off the digi format and into something we can look at. I want to burn movies for the kids too. But that will have to wait as it is super tedious. And takes longer than making bread. That makes.me think I'll just never do that. Might pay someone to do it for me.
Hello Harper.

Kids played "black men"

Yeah that is what thing two said to the band as he walked through the door tonight. She had dressed herself and the fish (or dish lol) all in black and they started performing a play. They were in a fit of giggles over this move and looking at them selves ......

Moobie just thinks this game is great! Hahahah love this life!

all three a little bit sick

Ok this bug was a nasty one. Headache fever with a nasty nasty cough. And the croupe cough makes dogs perk their ears.
I am just catching it now and pray I get the light version.
Found this on pintrest. I have to admit they weren't as creepy as they are in real life! Kids love making them. I lied the quiet busy house

Had a great labor day weekend

Kinda in love with this picture!

Growing up too fast

Just love these three little people!!

Target tales

Passing by the bathroom fixtures and accessory area in target thing 2 totally picked up and soap dispenser and said when I grow up I want to make my bathrooms look just like a hotel bathroom. Ehhhhhh yeah my bathrooms are the opposite of a hotel' s bathroom. But we has been working on that:) They found this mask on the toy isle as well:)
Hulk wants a hotel bathroom too I guess.

Wrapping up mini darts

This little guy has gone from being nervous in the pool and going in with out a couch to jumping of the side of the pool with out assistance. He has learned the back stroke, freestyle and the breast stroke. This week was when he finally took the plunge off the diving board. Here he is with his little swim buddy Arri.

Last Saturday we were there bright and early so he could compete with his brother and sister in the swim meet. Where e took first place in a 25 meter kick board heat. He was so excited and since he did so well across the pool they allowed him to swim the 25 back stroke. He came in fourth but no other mini darts were competing!

DMV and kinder registration

Today I register the car and my son for kindergarten yeah lots of crazy paper work. And it's all sitting in a folder in my lap. I am number 18 and we are on number nine or so.

Ok so I think The fish has had all his shots but have to go and grab his shot record after is sit here for an hour or so lol

Couple nights ago Braden came down like this......
He said look I'm just like wall-e!! He was kinda excited. For me the excitement ended quite quickly.

New Lens means new pictures of the kids!!

I am addicted to this lens!! It is so much fun to play around in a new way! Spring is almost here and we have been playing with the Band on Saturdays because he is actually home!! We have had the best month of fun time and weekend fun.

This was taken as they kids played at a playdate with Thing 1's friend we all had a blast!

Little brother just got his mission call

We were all around the phone. And gathered to hear those Written words and find out where he was going! He totally is going to serve in Pat's mission!! Guatemala North. Oh we are Sooo thrilled for him and it's totally gotten Patrick all excited to go back and frankly so did I! So many stories and so many things to hear about!
Can't wait to hear all about it!

The flu

This one is pretty intense. I have had the cold and sinus stuff all winter long but this body ache, head pounding, and fever stuff isn't for sissies. After the mucus does down I want to make the kids these....
