Molly drew this picture of Joseph Smith in sacrament meeting one day. I like it so much that I think I'll send it to the Friend and see if they will print it in one of their issues. It's worth a shot!
I went to get my haircut and made an appointment for Molly to have her nails done when I was finished. She was really excited, since it's not something we do at home very often (my poor girls did not get a girly mom). She was all ready for Valentine's Day after that!
I am posting this video of Stockton saying "Hulk smash" in his Hulk voice. He does it way better than me. It's right at the very end of the clip.
Molly and Stockton made this Olympic ring art. The Olympics were so fun and exciting, except the kids didn't watch much since most of it was on after they were in bed. Molly did get to stay up a little late to watch some figure skating.
Stockton got hooked on building huts (or "hunts" as he calls them) and for a while wanted to build one every day. I didn't give in that often but we made more than a few-it was hard to turn him down when I remember that being one of my favorite things to do as a kid!
I heart-attacked Molly's lunch box for Valentine's Day.
The kids got a little toy as well. Molly got a Beanie-Boo, named Ellie. She literally takes her everywhere (except school, because I told her she couldn't).
Stockton got a Ninja Turtle.
And Brynn got Belle and the prince to go with her castle.
Playing Headbanz with Stockton and Brynn is hilarious.
We went to the cabin for President's Day which is nothing new but must be mentioned. And shown in pictures.

Grandma, Stockton, Brynn-it was not good snowman snow but they gave it a try anyway!
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 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...
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...
