4th of JULY
This little boy is a cowboy want to be and spent almost the whole time in the front in between some randon strangers, glued to the action.
My mom got us some great seats, we couldn't be luckier!
We went to seven peaks water park and amusement park many times this summer and it was so much fun. The kids finally love the rides, and Tess and Bodee went on some pretty big water slides by themselves. Lexi went on a really steep water slide and had a blast. These kids really do get to be so much fun the older they get. Maverik surprises me all the time and doesn't seem to be scared of just about anything which is scary at times, but it makes it so much fun.
Many cousin sleepovers were also had this summer. I feel as though I should get aunt of the year award!
They ended the night with all the boys going to a Bee's game.
Mountain bike rides continued in Draper.
On our next trip to Kingston we went to see some hieroglyphs and do some rabbit hunting.
July 11, 2017
Really,
again. How am I always so far behind on my journal! Well recap. Kina and I have
been doing kickboxing 2 times a week and its been awesome. It sure is hard to
go at 5:30 AM though. She’s amazing and keeps at it. Me not so much! Jesse went
to Montana with his brothers and dad in April and had a great time. They froze
to death about though. I know my kids are sure looking forward to going with
him one day. He apparently did very well and got lots and lots of fish. Easter
was awesome. We had church at 9 which always makes easter a little difficult,
but the kids still managed to find their baskets, eat lots of candy and look
cute enough for pictures. We had a family easter party the day before and
attempted to drop eggs via quad copter. It was pretty funny and pretty much
crashed and burned but we still had an awesome party. Lexi was the only kid in
my family who didn’t come apart in tears when they saw the Easter Bunny (aka
Brandi). Always love to be reminded of
the savior this time of the year and teach the kids about the meaning of
Easter. Bodee started up tball in April and it was the FUNNIEST thing ever. The
first game he ended up throwing his glove up repeatedly and trying to catch it.
At one time he was playing tag with another boy across the field, they played
duck duck goose one game. It was hilarious, but all that being said he did very
well. He hit well and has an awesome throw. He just doesn’t understand the
running of the bases! We were able to go to Rocky Mountain Raceway and watch
some races and the kids absolutely loved it. We also went to the Lantern Fest
in Grantsville and had a blast. It is a spectacular site and we were so lucky
to be part of it. It’s a must do for us every year. Except we got stuck in the
parking lot for 2 hours! I went on a field trip with lexi and her class to
wheeler farm. She went with 2 other boys who were very nice. She seems to have
a little bit of a hard time keeping girl friends and it breaks my heart. She
loves adults and always tends to levitate towards them and I think it hurts the
relationship she has with the kids. That is one of the reasons we had her
tested at brain balance for a brain imbalance and they found that her left
hemisphere is weaker then the right and can cause some issues. She has really
struggled with reading and math this year in school and im afraid its hurting
her self confidence. So, we are on this REALLY expensive program for 3 months
and cant have gluten, sugar or dairy in our diet. Saying it is difficult is an
understatement. There is literally nothing to eat after you’ve eliminated those
things and its so expensive. But I’m pretty sure she has no allergies to these
things so at least we are lucky to not have to do it forever. Tess and Bode are
in swim lessons and doing very well. Tess is swimming on her own but still gets
nervous and panicks, but she is doing considerable better. We have gone camping
three times in 1 month. First trip was current creek, second was fish lake and
third was puffer lake. We got a pop up trailer and drift boat and have enjoyed
them very much. Uncle Zack came home from his mission and it was so fun to
greet him at the airport. He has really changed and become a great example for
my kids. My mom got us tickets for the west Jordan rodeo for the 4th
of july. Maverick loved the sheep and scram “sheep” all the time. Bodee had his
cowboy hat and boots on and was engulfed in the rodeo it was so cute to see him
love it that much. Anyways this is the shortened version of the last 3.5
months. These kids keep my busy busy and work and trying to be a good wife, but
all in all, I love my life and am
thankful heavenly father has entrusted me with such fabulous children and
family. We just turned our house plans into the architect and are excited to
get started building our house next year.
