A few random happenings, first part of September

Brynn discovered a new way to play with the dollhouse.  She's unhappy because I was making her get down.  
Stockton started preschool.  He goes to Rees Elementary Preschool, his teacher is Miss Dixie, and he thought it was pretty cool to go to the same school as Molly.  He was really excited at the beginning but his excitement has waned more recently.  He really likes it when he gets there but he'd rather just stay home, I think.  He's a homebody.  
We love rainstorms, especially when it's warm enough to go outside and get soaking wet!
Brynn, Stockton, Hazel Howard
Stockton claims that he doesn't like cars anymore but will occasionally request to have them all lined up. And he did ask to do extra chores so that he could earn a new car.  Despite his claims, I think he still likes them.  Good thing since he has so many!
My mom, Erin, Erin, and I took a weekend and headed to St. George.  Our main reason was to see Mary Poppins at Tuacahn.  We had never been there and the whole experience was wonderful.  The setting was beautiful and the play was amazing!

We went to the show on Friday night and then spent all day Saturday just shopping and sight-seeing and eating.  We found a church on Sunday to go to sacrament meeting (we chose a good one-it was their primary program) and then we drove home.  So it was a short getaway but so fun and relaxing and the perfect amount of time.  

And here is the neighborhood biker gang.  Haha!  They are just too cute!
Stockton, Rhys and Hazel Howard, and Liam, whose last name I don't know

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...
