End of May!

Zack playing with Nate!

 Silly Girl


 It has been raining so much our grass is muddy! We let the kids go crazy one night and they got sooooo muddy and dirty!



 Levi's Vulture project at school. He was so proud of it and he would tell all the parents as they walked by, "Vultures throw up on their enemies!" Followed by a, "The babies eat throw up!" That's my boy!
 Doing Bumpa's hair on Memorial Day weekend!
 Miss Nora thinks I am crazy....she might be right!
 We switched the kids beds around to make room for Nate. The boys occasionally get separated to allow them to go to bed at a reasonable hour while school is still going! They are still adjusting to sharing a double bed! So one night I walked in to check on Zack in my bed and couldn't find him. As I walked closer I found him jammed at the bottom of the bed under all the covers. Goof ball!
 Getting SOOO chubby and cute!
 Testing out the massage chairs at RC Willey!

 We got an above ground pool and the kids are so excited to swim everyday this summer! We almost have it up, but need to call for the cover they missed!!!!

Memorial Day Weekend

Since our plans for hiking got cancelled due to rainy weather, we headed down south to honor our promise to the kids for swimming! We spent the night at Grandma and Grandpa's on Friday night. Mom and Dad went to a movie when the kids were in bed! On Saturday the girls hit up a few stores after the dads went golfing. Then we met for lunch followed by some swimming. The kids LOVED it! It took some bribery to get the boys to try the slide and Makayla FREAKED when she first got in. But, shortly after they were all little fish loving everything! We have many more fun swimming adventures in out future. 
After swimming we headed back for some yummy BBQ before heading home. After church on Sunday we headed over to the Stevenson's house. Bada made us a delicious dinner. The kids ran around outside playing hard! Makayla was in heaven chasing their dog and cat all over. Monday, we worked and played. In the afternoon after a morning of cleaning and basement work we had a babysitter over to play with the kids. They love Karlee and mom and dad and Nate went out for a couple of hours. We decided to hit up a few places to look at carpet for the basement, and grab some food and groceries WITHOUT the kiddos. It was fantastic! We came home and played for the rest of the night before bed! It was a nice weekend and we are READY for school to be out!

Preschool Graduation

Zack graduated from Preschool today. It has been a fun year with him and he had a really great teacher! I am sad it is her last year, but at least she can still be our ward grandma! I enjoyed serving in the primary with her in the past and we sit by them every week at church, so the kids (especially Makayla) love her! He has had a fun group of boys to play with and especially the 2 in our ward have become his buddies. They are the 3 amigos! He has had a lot of fun having something of his own and he has done so well. He is very excited and ready for Kindergarten! They did a cute little program highlighting what they had learned that year, and the teacher gave them a really cute scrapbook with pictures from throughout the year and projects they did. It is too cute! He will love looking at that! Congrats to our handsome little Preschool Graduate! I can't believe that he is starting school in a few months! AHHHHH!

Doctor, Doctor, and Doctor again! 2 year and 2 month checkups

This is not really about Levi going to the doctor, but I thought the picture was appropriate!

1st Makayla had an abrasion on her eye
2nd Levi smacked his head on a bed frame after he fell with his entire upper body shoved in a pillow case.
3rd Zack hurt his elbow falling down our garage steps and he couldn't straighten or bend it all the way for a few days.
4th Nate and nursing problems and 2 month checkup
5th Makayla's 2 year checkup
Hopefully we will have a break from the doctors office and the pharmacy for awhile...

We only went to the doctor for Makayla's eye. I took Nate in to eliminate tongue tie since he has a little latch problem that has still not let up after 2 months. However, that was not the case, so she just did his 2 month checkup a week early. Here were our healthy little mans stats:

13.49 lbs 92%
23.62 in 82%
15.9 Head 70%
In another week I am sure he would be right up there where his brothers were at about 14 lbs.

The next day I met with a lactation specialist to see if we could solve some of the problems. Looks like I am dealing with a little bit of a few things including Vasospasms and Raynauds. Poor little guy can't keep up with the milk flow.

Makayla had her 2 year old checkup that day too. I brought Dan along because I was worried she would be super hard since she is not a huge fan of the doctors. However, she was much better than when we brought Nate in. She loves the show Doc McStuffins and kept singing the song. She just did everything they told her to a little shyly but just fine. She even only cried for a second till I mentioned a sucker after her shot! She was fine by the time I got her dressed again! Here are my little ladies stats:

26.24lbs 42%
32.01 in 8%
Head 19.4in 90%

She is a little all over the place:) We sure love our spunky little lady who is obsessed with singing lately and has an amazing ability to memorize songs quickly!

Lately...


They play outside almost everyday that it is not raining! This is called a sister sandwich!
 We headed down south a couple weekends ago. The kids had fun sleeping at Grandma's. We got to go to Kellie's house, Jeni's house, Grandma's house, and sort of Krista's new house all in one day! The kids played at the park and Dad took the boys golfing while I took Makayla and Nate to IKEA. We had a fun filled day or two with family!
 Mom date with Nate of course to the mall. We had to stop to play for a few minutes:)
 The kids got in to dress ups lately and are often found in interesting outfits!
 Nate is such a smiley little guy and is so stinking cute! He is so used to all the crazy stuff around him and when anyone looks at him he lights up!
 We updated our kid wall to add some Nate!
 We took a walk to the duck pond a few times this last week to see the baby ducks!

 She didn't get a nap the day of Nate's blessing and this was the result...
 My tummy guy. He LOVES to be on his tummy!
 My 2 year old mischief maker. She is constantly finding something to get in to. Within one morning she unloaded the floss, dumped out an entire box of cereal, and I caught her starting to drink Nate's gas drops. She likes to keep us on our toes!
