all about Stockton

Stockton's cousins introduced him to Dude Perfect videos on YouTube this summer and he has been hooked.  They do silly tricks and yell really loud.  I think it's annoying but it's fun for him.  He is constantly trying to copy their trick moves, specifically the bottle flipping.  That also is making me a little crazy so I finally told him he had to do it outside only.  He also likes Zach King magic videos and Aaron's Animals on YouTube.  He gets a serious case of giggles when he watches those.  He watches these and other things on a very loud volume.

Stockton is reserved in public and even with extended family, with one exception: Grant Broadbent.  Those two are so silly and downright crazy when they get together.  Grant is the same as Stockton so we figure they must save up all their crazy energy for when they get together.  Stockton can be silly within our family, for sure, but outside of our family, Grant is who he is most comfortable with.  This even happened this summer when we did a cousin swap and Stockton spent one night with the extended Broadbent family at their cabin and Ali said he was just as silly which surprised me since he didn't know 95% of the people there.  He has other friends that he has a lot of fun with and enjoys being with, but there is no one like Grant to really bring out a side of him that is rarely seen.

Stockton has a glass of chocolate milk every single morning for breakfast.  He is a big breakfast eater and usually has several helpings.

He prefers to take a bath over a shower but I try to make him shower whenever I can.

He has read the first 5 Harry Potter's.  Not sure when he is going to do 6 and 7...maybe when school starts.  He has seen all the movies several times and knows lots and lots of Harry Potter trivia.  Before he discovered Dude Perfect, he would ask to get on the computer to do Harry Potter trivia and games.  He wants to be Mad-Eye Moody for Halloween this year.  (Added: we have started book 6 together.  I told him I'd read half of it to him at night before moving on to Molly.  We'll see if he'll finish it on his own after I get him started or if he waits for it to come around and be his turn again.)

At his well-check he weighed 58 (12%) pounds and was 53 (27%) inches.  He is skinny and short but healthy!

Stockton genuinely enjoys school.  He likes science and history (at least Utah history, we'll see about US History this year).  He also likes math, unlike his older sister.

Stockton packs a lunch every day for school rather than eating the lunch offered by the school.  It is usually a peanut butter and jelly or a peanut butter and honey.

Stockton still likes to play when he can.  He has not grown out of it.  He makes friends easily and will play with whoever is around, as long as he knows them somewhat (he probably wouldn't be so chummy with a stranger).  He has always had a harder time entertaining himself so he will take what he can get!  He likes to make up games with Brynn (and even Ivy when Brynn is gone), Corbin Anderson, or Kelton Webb.  He even had a lot of fun playing cars with Spencer when the Moyes's came to visit-and Spencer is only 7!  I love to see him do some good, old-fashioned playing and hope this trait sticks around a little longer (I've heard boys don't grow out of playing as quick as girls do).

He loves to listen to Imagine Dragon songs.

He prefers vegetables over fruit.  He packs either carrots, celery, or cucumbers in his lunch every day.

 When dealing with conflict, he prefers to wait until it blows over and everything goes back to normal.  He is not a talker and keeps things close.

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...
