Millie turned 4 at the beginning of September! This doggy follows me everywhere and more so this summer since her and I have spent lots of time together on our 2 run/walks a day. She is such a sweet doggy! We may have forgot it was her birthday, but she easily forgave us when we remembered and showered her with treats!
I looked at Nate's foot and was like wha???? I think it was a mosquito, but still not sure what the mystery foot inflammation was!
School pictures 2019. No retakes! Hip hip hooray!!!
The kids hoped the fence and played in the school's sprinklers while mom and dad worked on our sprinklers!
She may not have a back bone! Yikes she is flexible!
She may be either purely determine and then the next minute extremely distracted, but she had to be 15 like her brothers and she rocks it! She loves the outfits I think even more than soccer:)
Graham tucked me in! Ha!
Moved officially to the big boy bed. He was just hoping out of his crib so we figured it was time. It was just hard to take that down! I don't know if we have ever not had a kid in the crib!!!
Stubborn boy insisted on "help myself" to putting his own pants on. He almost got it
After lunch with some ward ladies I took the boys to get a treat!
These silly boys have so much fun together during the day. I am glad they have each other!
This look is Graham right here. He is such a little mischievous boy, growing up way too fast, but gives the best hugs and kisses and just loves his siblings and daddy!
Topsoil and grading done!
Dot day. Boys didn't have any so Makayla wore all the dots!
With Levi taking his glasses off most of the time at home after school, we took him in to get contacts. He was beyond excited and has done so well with them!
I get to brag for a minute! But, I am lucky enough to have some pretty awesome kids! We had the first Parent Teacher Conference for the year. Makayla struggled the first few weeks going all day and learning the expectations at school. Her little social body liked to chat and wiggle. After learning to not send jewelry with her, the teacher helping with some positive reinforcement at school, and us regurgitating the expectations and rewarding her for good reports at home, she has had no struggles since. Her teacher said she is doing great with that, great in math and in reading, and she is a social butterfly and friends with everyone. She is such a sweet and tender hearted little thing and she has grown so much this year. She is so tiny and I have a hard time seeing her grow up so fast!!! Zackary got good reports as well. His teacher said his state tests showed him highly proficient in all areas. He is the math wizard that he even has him helping other kids with their assignments with him. He weirdly can do division faster than multiplication at times, and already does them both faster than they hope for at the end of the year. He wants to push himself in reading and has done so in the last few months finishing up several of the Percy Jackson books, even with a high SRI score. When Zack wants to do something, he does it! Levi got similar remarks from his teacher with state testing, and math. She told us to be sure to sign him up for honors classes next year. He will be pushed into 7th grade math here before Christmas and is reading well beyond his grade level. For being a July birthday, I was always worried about sending him. He sure has made me feel good about that decision with how well he does! These kids work their tails off and we decided to celebrate with a stop at the book fair and some snow cones!!!
Steel edging in. That was a lot of hammering!!!
It was raining when we got our sod. With some help from some family and ward members jumping in just when we were waring down, we got our sod in pretty fast!
Halloween costume shopping for the little 3 at least!
Kids built a fort and slept in it last weekend
Billy, Bob, and Joe as they call themselves:)
Zack has come home with a few assignments and he has written a lot about Levi. It is super sweet! They are such close and fun friends.
Graham had a random 3 days of fevers. He was just so tired!!! No idea what the cause was, but happy that is done!
These boys like to change my phone wallpaper, I'm learning to keep better track of my phone!
