Jess moved in with us in September- so awesome. We were so excited to have him!
With him, came his love of lacrosse and he got Max excited for it, so Max signed up to play, and Jess signed on to be his coach!!!!!
How awesome is that!?
Now, for a little boy that doesn't really know anything about this sport, he played his little heart out.
Didn't hurt having a great coach to go with it either.
At the end of the season, kids were running up to Jess asking him if he was going to coach again and when he said yes, they were so excited! It was so cute.
They loved him- and they should- he's great.
Fin hangin with some gear on!
Max and Coach.
One night when Mana was babysitting, she took the kids over to her ward Halloween party. They had a blast. And Max, being the cutest brother he is, told Finley that whatever painting she got, he would get the same. True love people. Best brother ever.
Brent and his buddy BJ have coached Max and this little flag football game for the last few years. They have a blast, and the team knows eachother and they work so well together. They pulled off a championship this year again! It was so fun to watch them!
So happy for my Max
Sometimes I look at this gorgeous little face and get so sad. It is my last baby. It is my last 3 year old. It is my last cuddle bug, mommy loving child and it breaks my heart that she's getting so big! I hate it! I love this girl more than I have words to express and I can't even handle it!
Sometimes at the gym we do stretches in our estretchy pants that look hilarious to the onlookers- this was a good one.
And this little ab work out....sheesh! Soreness!?
Alicia found these amazing pantalones as Kohls and we decided we all needed them. So, for Chelle's bday, we all sported them! Twinning at its finest! Love these girls, and our captain crunch throw up pants :)
Speaking of twinning- thesen's have matching hoodies- they love matching, and I love making them match :) win/win. So, of course I had to take a picture, and of course their sister had to get in on the photog.
Just another moment I had with my sweet baby realizing that this isn't going to last forever. I read a quote recently about how one day, your child will want to hold your hand, the next, they won't, and they never will again.....Growing up is hard, and it hurts my heart parts, but for now, I will hold this hand every minute of every day.
Sawyer had to have a frenectemy. Apparently- that thing in the top of her mouth that you can feel when you move your tongue back and forth- it is connected to the bottom of her gums and is causing her teeth to space out super far. Hence- gaps :) So, she got it lasered off! We love Dr. Pitts. He is soooo great and sweet to the kids, and doesn't want them scared at all- the hygenist helping was the same. Sawyer is not the little passive child that, when told to hold still, will just conform. No, she lets you know when she is scared, she asks all the questions, she lets you get right next to her mouth and then shoots her hand up in your face, and says- wait wait wait, is it going to hurt!?
When all was said and done, she was golden. It didn't hurt one single bit, she didn't even know it had been done when it was all over, and she din't have any pain afterwards! Love it! Plus, she's beautiful!
I ran across this little unicorn one day whilst browsing around Target. I couldn't help myself. I know that we told the girls they were going to be the princesses they chose to be at Disneyland, but what's better than Cinderella? Cinderella on a unicorn!!!!!!!! So, I bought it. And she LOVED it!!!!
I'm an activity days leader, with my girl Summer, and so one day, we ventured out and took the girls to the Bean Museum at BYU. I was surprised that most of them hadn't been there before. So, it was a good time. They're cute girls. They chatted my ears off and had a good time.
Sometimes Sawyer gets in big bad trouble. Then she gets sent to her room. Then she writes me little love notes to let me know that "she'll never leave me"and that she "will always be here." I love it.
Mr. Roberts got himself a suit- a suit made just especially for him- and since he's so darn good looking, he was asked to model for the company! Atta boy Jesster!
FHE by Conli included trying to make a pouch for an egg to make it so it didn't crack when dropped off a table....Max's is on the top, our is on the bottom. We had to use the materials she gave us....we both failed. It was cute.
For our Halloween Party for Activity Days, I got my creative on with Pinterest and we made these little cookie monsters:
Some edible ear wax:
And dirty monster mouths:
And last but not least, Mana took these gals down to the cabin one fine afternoon. Bre was sweet enough to take a darling picture of them in "yellowstone"
