oh the things you’ll survive

so…”the boss”  has been taking his mid-day naps on the sofa…yesterday his dream may have involved chasing one of his siblings..or running to a candy machine..or throwing himself into one of his grandparents loving arms..whatever his dream may have been, the harsh awakening was the hardwood floor slamming into his face with not even a moments awareness to awaken his arms to  action..the result a BIG FAT LIP…GNARLY…it’s always a miracle when a two year old is able to see (or move with out paralysis for that matter )his 3rd birthday

****8****

my oldest went and turned 8 on me

i’m so proud of this guy

he is a great example to his younger siblings

he is waiting patiently for his baptism in Utah Oct.16

he tells me he can’t wait

>>>>>>>>>>>>

i am a very blessed mom to have this guy as my first child

1st Day of SCHOOL

 

Jaxson started the Second grade & Liam is in a 1st/2nd split

talks under a shade tree....the boss' has skills

Fire pit Friday

I sent the kids out to build a fire pit in the back yard...they needed
to get OUT if you know what I mean..later I peaked out at the progress
to see the second son helmeted whilst still pajama clad surveying his
work....Awesome

Memory, chicken nuggets, and a frosty

Today was Liam’s monthly parent date

he chose me ***grin…grin***

he took me to Wendy’s where the toy in his kids meal turned out to be our activity for the evening

after 2 games of where’s waldo memory

Liam emerged triumphant…he’d won both

and declared he needn’t win anymore this evening and it was time for a

chocolate frosty & to head home

the boss gets royal

Princess Emme brought the boss down thus attired

hole ridden sock and all……..she said he was her Prince

when we asked if he was a Pirate Prince…

she got offended..pouted…cried…then

tried the mess on herself
