finishing up 2014

Justin takes down our tree as soon as he can after Christmas.  He's even done it Christmas night before.  Our front room is just too tiny with a tree and all the new toys that the kids like to leave out for a few days.  With the tree gone, Molly and Stockton set up a little clubhouse area with all the new toys.  
 
My mom and dad came to visit and see all the fun things the kids got for Christmas.  Then they took us bowling.
 
Here is a picture of the scoreboard.  My dad's score is cut off but it wasn't as high as my score of 166.  I have never, ever, in my life had a bowling score that high.  I surprised myself and everyone else!
Molly, if you notice, also made it to the 100 mark.

Brynn took Bitty Baby with us and they both enjoyed the little merry-go-round in the arcade area.
Our New Year's Eve tradition is just to play games at home.  So that's how we rang in the new year.

We also attempted to put together a Harry Potter puzzle that we've had for a while but it has too many pieces so we haven't been too successful.  We'll have to try when the kids are older.

Goodbye 2014!  You were good to us!  Happy 2015!!

    I had to laugh at the tear in your Sequence board. Our board is torn the exact same way from folding it wrong. And I am just like Justin on the tree thing. I would so take it down that night if I wasn't so tired.

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...
