Guess Who’s going to Disneyland??

May 4, 2016 admin No Comments

900 stickers and we are going to Disneyland!! The kids are so excited! I’m proud of their hard work. Ray wakes up every morning now asking if today is the day to go to Disneyland 🙂 Millie is also Giddy to see some princesses. Benji remembers everything from when we went 3 years ago so he is excited. Packer is excited for most of it – and a little nervous. Cali and Rose are hoping they are TALL enough to ride on the big rides 🙂 Ben and I are excited too. Should be lots of fun!

tongue

May 4, 2016 admin No Comments

I got my first tongue injury. Talk about annoying and a bit painful. It’s been almost 2 weeks and I still have to baby it. I tried to eat an apple yesterday and just couldn’t, it’s still a little swollen and the cut isn’t completely closed. Can’t chew gum yet, for fear of biting my tongue again… I got hit under my jaw with the soccer ball. It caught me off guard and my jaw shifted and my fang tooth went right through my tongue, about a quarter of an inch cut.

11 month TIAGO

May 4, 2016 admin No Comments

Our buddy is getting big. His latest tricks are: pulling himself up onto everything he can. And now he is walking back and forth while holding onto the table. His other trick is saying, Brewer. He says it all the time. We love when he waves bye bye and he likes to spit and put his hand over his mouth and holler. And now today he FOUND The STAIRS! My next month will be spent policing the stairs as he learns to go up and down 🙂 He is LITERALLY learning SOMETHING new EVERY DAY. We love watching him learn and explore.

End of April, Tracie and John, Ryan and Mary, Joel and Megan

For the end of April, 27-30th, Tracie and John, Cedar, Bren, and Hadley came and stayed with us. The kids keep us busy since their 3 and our youngest 3 are the same ages.

We loved playing with little baby Hadley. Tiago is so big next to her. Packer got his birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa Robertson!

On Thursday we all drove to Springville and picked up Aunt Diane and Aunt Susan and went to lunch at Del Taco! It was fun to see them and catch up since they moved out here from Oroville. The kids got to play and we got to chat. Sean and Kelsey met us there and we brought Gus.

More chill time: Laser tag, playing with babies,

And then playing Code Names when we finally get the kids in bed 🙂 I think the boys won this round.

On Friday I watched the Hancock kids and Tracie and John visited some friends. Then Saturday they packed up while we ran between soccer games. They came to one of the games and loaded up a bunch of Brady’s things from the basement. We went out for Kong Kones and said our goodbyes around 2:00.

Ben and I played in a soccer game at 3:00 and then Ryan and Mary and kids came over! W played a few games and ate dinner and taught Kelsey how to play Puerto Rico and then Joel and Megan called to tell us that the party was at their house! We headed over there at 9:30 and they had leftover birthday party treats unlimited! We ate pizza and soda and churros and cookies and cake and donuts and… I don’t even know what they ate but they were happy. We played a round of fibbage and came home a little after 11:00pm.

And that was our week/weekend! non stop fun. In the meantime Brady finished his first week at the Academy! and a few pics I stole from Tracie…

Pinewood Derby PREP and RACE

PREP:

RACE:

This was the final standings: Packer got 7th and Benji got 8th!

Ben and Rose had a soccer game at the same time as the derby so we asked Grandma and Grandpa to come to the derby to help with the kids. They were excellent help. The boys had fun. They were hoping for the win but it’s a good learning experience.

This was Benji’s last pinewood derby! Packer has 1 more year!

Packer is in the 9 club, or upside down 6. This is how we do 9 years old:

These older kids have ideas for their birthday cakes. This one is Geometry Dash – a cell phone/tablet game that the kids are into right now.

On Saturday the 23rd we invited cousins over for a party. We played arcades and Ben made up a Geometry Dash Obstacle Course game.

we opened presents and ate cake and ice cream!

Big cousins entertained little cousins and everyone tried Ben’s virtual Reality… Then on Sunday night we had the first ever Netty Fireside 🙂 Grandpa taught us all about the plan of salvation.

MONDAY MORNING – BIRTHDAY!! we had to wake up early so he could open presents before school! don’t know how that tradition started….

He got Laser Tag! and Mine craft Textures and Skins! He got a new Scooter! and Books! and a night light!

That night Grandma and Grandpa Nettesheim came over to wish him a happy birthday and gave him some Rockets and the Hancocks came for some Brownies and Ice cream!

It was a busy day! to end a busy weekend! 3 party nights in a row at our house! We love Packer
