Easter 2016

We have had the same Easter routine for years.  Party at the Moyes's the afternoon before, hunting for baskets and eggs at home in the morning, new church clothes, church, and dinner at the Goodrich's after church.  I like routine.  It was fun watching Ivy this year since she was too little last year to really participate in anything.

Moyes Party-
Brynn and Harper
Pin the Tail on the Bunny
Justin and Molly-relay races
carrot toss
Brynn and Seth climbing on the pile of dirt behind Jeff and Ali's construction site
Abby and Stockton-they had to race to an egg and then the person who got there first would try to make it back to the beginning without being tagged by their opponent.  This game was a hit for the kids and they kept playing it with all different cousin combos.
Brynn and Harper
Getting instructions from Grandma for the egg hunt.  They each got a bag with another cousin's eggs that they had to hide.  This was also fun for them to get to hide each other's eggs.
Grant and Stockton got nerf dart boards from Grandma.  (Brynn got a Barbie Corvette and Molly got a fairy garden.)
Abby, Molly, and Chloe in their new clothes from grandma
Easter morning at home-
I made them watch Bible videos while they waited for Ivy to wake up
Ivy got a Noah and the Ark book in her basket
Stockton got some Sunday videos in his basket
Brynn got a CTR bumblebee necklace in her basket
Hunting for chocolate eggs.  Mom and Dad are not allowed to help (unless they find an egg that is too high for them to reach).  There is still currently one egg that has not been found.
Molly got a CD of instrumental primary songs
New church clothes-
Stockton loves matching with Justin
She is mad because I took a chocolate egg away from her so it didn't ruin her new dress.
Molly wanted her hair in a complicated double braided messy bun.  It made us late for 1:00 church which is something that never happens.  But she looks beautiful.
 
This was taken after church per Stockton's request.  He knew exactly where he wanted a picture.  We were in a rush to get changed and to the next party but I am glad we took the time for this.  I love these guys.  Also, I'm the only one not wearing yellow.
Dinner and hunt at Goodrich's-
Brynn and Evie
 
I love the relationship my kids have with Gene.  They love to sit on his lap and be read to.

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...
