Chad and Mikey. Sometimes I can't believe how much they look alike.
H has 8 teeth now, but he got his first when I took this picture
One day we were driving home and Owen started panicking because he had to go potty so bad. I made him hold it until we got home and as soon as we did he ran out back and proceeded to relieve himself. It was too late for me to stop him so I just grabbed the camera and laughed.
Oh my Mikey... Sometimes I think he would forget his own head if it weren't attached to his neck. His shirt was on completely backwards and he was ready to walk out the door. I have another picture somewhere of him getting out of the van at school with is pants on backwards. I stopped him before he went in, but he didn't mind one bit!
Not long after school started I got a call from Mikeys teacher saying she thought he had something stuck in his ear. He was complaining that it hurt and she said she could see something black far down in his ear. Well, Chad went through a VERY similar situation when he was a kid so thankfully I learned from Linda's experience and took care of it. I just put a little super glue on the end of a pencil eraser and put it in his ear. Sure enough, out came a huge piece of rubber from the play ground. He said he was rolling in the rubber and felt a piece go in his ear. When he went to go feel it, he ended up pushing it in farther. Thank goodness it wasn't more serious.
Gracie helping me with peaches
We talked Russ and Traci into spending the night so the kids could play. We sure love cousin time!
Max and Owen. Oh these boys. I love watching them together. They are beginning to be such good friends.
Gracie Bell turned nine on September 22. I always say it, but time is speeding up. I can't believe she is nine! You can never go back to having your first baby. There is always another sibling to take up room in your heart. I love the time I got to spend with this girl alone for two whole years. She is such a fun loving spunky little girl. I love her so much and I am so proud of the young woman she is growing up to be.
Her class sang to her.... in spanish of course...
More cousin time!! We love visitors!
Alone time with Grace. We have made it a tradition to go to the women's conference every year. I find myself looking forward to it. I love being able to talk to Grace and connect with her without the boys. It is such a special time for us. And much needed.
Our kids LOVE Studio C. Think Saturday Night Live for mormons. They were having a viewing party at a park in Provo so I decided to take them. Chad was out of town and I knew it would be a bit much trying to get our dinner from a food truck, but we had so much fun and the kids helped out so much.
