Kindergarten!!

Easton is growing up way too fast!!! School started for all of the older kids at his school yesterday, but we just went in for a meet and greet at his school. Easton and Afton are in the same class and we went to school to have a look around. His teacher had a little scavenger hunt for them to get to know their classroom. Later that day we had to go back for his assessment test. It was so funny to hear some of his answers. When she would ask him what word sounds like Rug, is it Dirt, or Kite, or Bug. Easton would be so sure of himself when he answered Kite-like Duh!!! Count as high as you can, okay, 1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.9.10.11.12.13.15 (not sure where 14 went) 16.17.18.19.20.21.22.23.24.25.26.27.28.29 long pause..... Mrs. D asks, Easton do you know what comes after 29? Easton: Hmmm....200

It was funny to hear the answers to questions that he already knew the answer to, but just didn't want to answer it right. He later told me that he was just tricken. I am not sure where he has heard that before. Also, I thought it was so cute when we were driving over to his assesment he said, "Mom, I sure wish Camden could come with us." He is so thoughtful at times, why can't they always be like that! I don't know why I can never get Easton to look at me when I take his picture. I thought maybe he would do a better job for Mrs. D when she took his, but he did the same thing to her as well. Maybe one day we will get one where he is looking at the camera.

Take me out to the Ball Game

Growing up I spent many fun filled days, and nights, at a ballpark. My dad has played Softball ever since I can remember and we would go to all of his games and all of the tournaments. We always had so much fun playing with our friends and really looked forward to those nights. It is really fun now that Spencer plays softball with both of my brothers and my dad, yes he is still playing after all of these years. The kids love it because they get to play with their cousins. Little Addison just runs around and laughs and does what the boys do, it is too cute!

Happy 24th of July!

It is so nice living in Utah and having our own special holiday! Spencer still had to work, but was able to come home early. We ended up having a last minute BBQ at our house. A few people were actually able to come! People started showing up to swim around 3:30 and the kids did not get out of the pool until about 8:45 P.M.-they were beat! They did get out to eat and go to the bathroom and that was about it. They were definitely worn out at the end of the day. We finished off the day by getting the kids all bathed and ready for bed and had a fun firework show in front of our house-thanks Mathews for providing the Fireworks. We could not get Brayden to stay in the picture, he kept swimming off.
Easton is getting so brave and will go under water without his life jacket, and can go under without plugging his nose.
AnaBella has her pick of boy friends when she gets older, she has five boyfriends that are all within a few months of her birthday, but Boston and Bridger are in the lead for her favorites as of right now. Bella was climbing all over Bridger one week in Relief Society, it definitely was not appropriate behavior during a very nice lesson. The other ladies around us were sure enjoying the show! She has also shared binkies with Boston, and they see to like to grab each others faces. As you can see it is a close call on who is in the lead to win her heart!

Lagoon

Spencer's work decided to do their company party at Lagoon this year. We are so glad that they did. The boys had a ball! This was their first time to Lagoon and they loved it. Camden was barely tall enough to go on most of the bigger rides. They even went on some of the rides I have always hated-the Rocko planes being one of them!
We didn't even ask them to pose like this. Easton was just being so sweet to Camden, they would hold hands too as they walked around. They were both so good, and didn't fight at all-maybe we should go to Lagoon everyday!
This picture is a little blury, but I love the action shot of Camden. He rode the ride the whole time like that, he wanted to make sure he knew what he was shooting at.

Ute Fans!

On the 18th of July, I know I am way behind! I found the boys in their room playing their own form of dress up! They were Utah football players, and they had tucked the jerseys into their pants and they were all bunched up. Pretty hot stuff-I love the slippers, they make the outfit!!!

After

Memories

MEMORIES
I got this from my friends blog. I thought it would be fun! I hope you will play along. Here are the directions:1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It's actually pretty funny to see the responses.

"You're Daughter Needs You"

Those are the words my husband said to me to go check on Bella in her crib. I knew she was going to be stinky, but I had no idea what a mess she was. I walk in her room and there she sits, with poop everywhere! Not just on her clothes (of course it has to be one of my favorite outfis), but all over the crib, her bumper, her comforter, in her hands, her hair, and the worst part was it was in her mouth. My cute, sweet, innocent baby is sitting in her bed eating her poop!!!
Luckily Eden was at my house and helped give her a bath. She went into the tub, clothes and all. While Eden was bathing her Spencer was getting all of her bedding into the washing maching, and I was disinfecting anything that was in the vicinity of her and her crib. We finally got her all cleaned up and Spencer had to wash her mouth out because she had poop breath. Luckily a little poop hasn't hurt anyone right? The one thing that I do wish I had was pictures of this precious moment, I'm sure I could have used it as blackmail later in life.

Thanks to BIZ all of the poop came out of her bedding and her clothes, after soaking in it all night long.

AnaBella is almost 10 months old and finally has her first tooth!
