Lizzy's visit and playing with funnels

We missed the Brown's this summer but were happy that Lizzy was able to come on her own for a few weeks.  Molly really looked forward to her visit.  We saw her a few times when the whole family got together but I think Molly was most excited to have her come down to our house for a sleepover.  We wanted to do something fun while she was here so we went to the splash fountains here in Spanish Fork. Much different that the splash pad in Springville but my kids have every bit as fun.  
  
 
I tried to get a picture of the two of them but they were being super silly and covering their faces with their hands.  I snapped one mid-laugh.  They thought they were so funny and clever!
That night the girls slept downstairs in their sleeping bags and watched Harry Potter.
We were so happy to have Lizzy come visit our house.  After dropping Lizzy off with grandma we were driving home and I peeked back at the kids and saw that Molly was looking out the window with tears silently streaming down her cheeks.  She was a sad little girl thinking that it would probably be a whole year before she would see Lizzy again.  Molly really looks up to her and will call her every couple of weeks to chat.  She looks forward to doing this and I'm glad that Lizzy takes the time to be a good friend, despite the age difference.

I've shared this little trick of mine before but this is something that keeps my little kids occupied while I make dinner.  Funnels!  There is something intriguing to them to pour water from one cup to another.  This seriously keeps Brynn or Stockton pretty entertained for quite a while.

    That was fun to see pics of Lizzy and Molly. What cute girls. I do wish they had the chance to see each other more often. Their personalities just seem to go together so well. Thanks for having her this summer!

Brynn @ 18 months

Yes, you read that right.  Brynn is 18 months old!!  She is so fun to have around the house and I haven't done a post devoted just to her for a while, so I thought it was about time. -She loves books!  She was never really that interested until sometime in the past couple months and now she can't get enough.  Sacrament meeting went from impossible to we can make it through...as long as I pack enough books for her.  This is how I often find her at night or during nap time. -She also loves blankets and towels, although she is not particular about which blanket.  She just wants something soft. She wants to walk around all over with them wrapped around her...they don't stay very well and she gets frustrated.  For that reason, I try to keep her blankets out of sight during the day. They come out when it's time to sleep. -Like my other kids, she loves her warm milk!  Actually, she'll drink it cold too. -She is a quiet one, always has ...

Stockton's 16th birthday

Stockton turned 16 on Wednesday, June 25, 2025. We've always told him he has the best day to have a birthday but I don't think he was convinced this year. He was anxious to turn 16 and get his license...it really felt like it took forever to get here. I told Justin that Stockton had to wait so much longer than Molly to get his license and he said, "actually, it took the exact same amount of time", which is factually true, it just felt a lot longer with Molly getting her license September of her sophomore year and Stockton not getting his until after sophomore year, before junior year. But, it did eventually arrive and we did our best to celebrate. We did the family celebration the Sunday before, since it was Girl's Camp that week and Justin, Molly, and Brynn would all be gone on his actual birthday. We had his requested dinner, meatballs, and he opened his presents. He got his favorite treats (nerd clusters, sour patch watermelon, and cow tails) and a new bat th...

all about Stockton

Stockton has loved having his license. He enjoys his independence immensely and does not take it for granted, probably because he had to wait for so long. He takes care of his truck, inside and out. He is always willing to run errands for me or take/pick up his sisters when I need him to. He tries to take back roads whenever he can-good thing you can get most anywhere in Heber on back roads.   This summer his love for cars has really amped up. He said he's always loved cars but he has just been noticing and talking about them more and more. He will point out a "cool car" whenever we are in the car and has a lot of knowledge about all the different features of the different cars. He has a dream car (can't remember which one) but also knows which color he would get in each of the different kinds of sports cars. He has slowly been buying sports car Lego sets with his birthday money, putting them together, and displaying them in his room. It's fun to see how excited h...
