the piano guys

Stockton's obsession with the Piano Guys is worth mentioning.  And actually, it's not just Stockton.  Brynn and Molly love them as well..and Justin.  Many a night has bedtime been pushed back because they are crowded around the computer.  How can I object?
Some of the things Stockton has said recently:
"For next Halloween, I want to dress up as a piano guy."
"For next Christmas, I want a cello."
"When I grow up, I want to be a piano guy."
"If I had $100, I would buy a cello."
"I found a wishing rock today and wished that the piano guys could come to our house."
"If I could have 100 things, I would have 100 cellos."

It all started a couple of months ago when we stumbled across the Star Wars video that the Piano Guys did.  That piqued his interest and it has blossomed to include a whole lot more.  I am okay with this obsession...right now, Stockton really wants to learn to play the cello.  The cello has always been my absolute favorite instrument so I am completely okay with that ambition.  I told him he could start when he's 8.  I'm hoping he'll still have the desire to learn!  

Here are a list of our favorite videos, with the names the kids call them.  They are worth checking out.  Their talent is really incredible.

-the awesome one...aptly described...it really is awesome!
-cello wars...the one that started it all!
-and Brynn's favorite...the shaky hair guy
-here is one I like...how cool would it be to be one of those kids? or in the audience? and I think it's so touching how emotional he gets.

Their website is worth checking out...the music is amazing and inspiring and the imagery of their videos is really stunning as well.

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...
