    30 Laps for 30 Days

    No Comments

    Ben gave the kids a summer challenge to dribble the soccer ball around the perimeter of the house 30 times a day and if they did 30 days they would earn a reward. The kids were diligent and did make their goal! They whined and complained a good deal but I think they’re better for it. For their reward Ben took them to the outdoor theater to see the Minion Movie.

    I chose to stay home with Millie and Tiago. Millie always enjoys being the only one home and getting the extra attention.

    We barely fit in our annual Demolition Derby this year. We went up to the Weber County Fairgrounds in Ogden. We met up with the Thals and had a great night.

    We brought the baby and the three big kids.

    We went down and looked at the cars at the end of the night.

    Car #80 was our favorite.

    And Erika won our competition. The Thal family is killing us in winning. Next year we are bringing as much of our family as we can.

    This 3 year old can be pretty fun. He got to go to the library and the cupcake shop for his dad night! He is getting so grown up. He loves to pose for the camera. He loves to play with Rosie and the big kids. The kid lives on pop tarts. HE’S PRETTY CUTE.

    We Blessed Tiago!

    No Comments

    Tiago was given a name and a blessing at church on Sunday August 2nd! It’s always wonderful to hear the blessings and know that they are on the records of the church.

    Ben blessed him and His Dad, Pete, Matt, Udine, Joel, Sean, and Bishop Chipman stood in the circle.

    The same crew with their families and Emily and Kelsey came over that evening for some dessert.

    I love the gospel plan. I love seeing life events and knowing that our children are on the right path to return to their Father in Heaven.

    Tiago – 2 Months

    No Comments

    back on August 1st  was Tiago’s 2 month mark. We spent the day in the car so no amazing pictures from that day. The little man is getting chubby. He is super cute but not a great sleeper and has not figured out the art of chill time..

    And these pictures are at the beginning of the treasure hunt. They don’t do justice to the hopping and skipping, backward walking, slow motion that was going on but thats what you get when the photographer has a nursing baby.

    Mehrtzen Creek

    No Comments

    One of our other main activities was to drive to Mehrtzen Creek. We went on Tuesday and Friday. It is a creek with a great swimming hole and a rock that we could slide down or jump from and a rope swing. We had a lot of fun just hanging out and watching each other swim and watching the kids explore.

    Down at the River…

    My mom and Dad always get in! I hope I’m still that fun when I’m older. They don’t just jump in because we make them – they are sometimes the first ones in and they enjoy it.

    The 2nd time there we diverted the water so that we had a longer faster slide…

    Really I don’t remember what this was called but … Kelsey’s activity was to spit some sticky bitter tasting balls at each other through big smoothie straws. Luckily Tiago was hungry right at war time so I sat and watched everyone get attacked and injured and messy. They had a blast 🙂
