Easter

Easter highlights from 2025:

-We got to sit down to breakfast together. We had whole wheat buttermilk pancakes, buttermilk syrup, strawberries and bananas, whipped cream, bacon, scrambled eggs, and chocolate milk

-The kids hunted and found their Easter bags, which were filled with all the traditional Easter candy

-They each had a wrapped gift from Justin and me. Molly: really nice shampoo and hair oil, Stockton: hockey stick, Brynn: mini bluetooth speaker, Ivy: new rollerblades

-Kids even had time to find the chocolate eggs that were hidden all over the house. They did an excellent job this year, I haven't come across any that they didn't find, although there was one from last year that was still hiding in my piano books that they had never found. To be fair, it had fallen behind the books so I was the only one who ever saw it there. I showed them but can't remember who I actually gave it to.

-Going to church together but we didn't have time to get a picture at home before we left so we had Dale Whimpey take a picture of us in Justin's office after sacrament meeting.

I told the kids I would buy them three items for their spring/summer wardrobe. Ivy's the only one who picked a new Easter dress and she looked beautiful!
-I did some pictures of the kids outside after church. I didn't notice that Stockton was being a goofball in every picture.
-I had this old photo of Molly and Stockton pop up on my phone that day so the two of them tried to recreate it.

-Justin came home with us too!
-We drove up to Plain City for my mom's Easter party where we played games, ate dinner, and had the much-loved kid and adult egg hunts.

Happy Easter, Happy Spring!

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...
