School Started

Fridays come so fast! Here we are again!  

Living the good life ... brother fun!

I love to watch Colt concentrate—shoot I’d even suffer through watching soccer if he wanted to sign up for it. (And really I got to where I could handle watching Soccer back when I was the announcer...ha-that was a funny memory.) 

These little Monkeys! And about that Sethy scooching wherever he wants, as the weeks gone on he’s figured out this arms more and more but still not enough to keep his head from dragging. 



How bout this fun sign?! They put them in the yards of ALL the new kindergarten students, I was pretty impressed. It was really fun!!

Oh better throw this one in there—a little bike ride Seth’s not so sure Tanners doing his best to convince him. Next weekend is a combined ward activity that’s a super mini triathlon...Isaac thought dusting off the bike would be a good idea, it was but the trailer tire popped before we even got 1/2 mile. 

We got to meet all the teachers, Cann and Tanner Tuesday Colt Wednesday. 



Oh Tuesday night ward bowling activity—we’re going to have to make a habit of this when it gets cold! 

 
Oh we got our family pics back. Ug everyone was super happy with them...but I don’t love them. I hate what I wore I wish I would have curled my hair, there was one where the wind blew my hair so it didn’t look so slicked down and hippy-ish but Isaac isn’t smiling in it. Ug. He’s awesome at smiling for pics so no way would I settle for one where he’s not. 

I liked this one ok-Seth’s pulling Cannons hair, Tanner is so unimpressed. But I thought Isaac and I had genuine smiles...

I like this one SOOO much better Seth’s in front of my ugly ratty white shirt, boys have smiles...and Isaacs heads cut off. Ug! 

But look at these cute boys. I mostly just love the people in our family pics!  

The boys have put in a lot of tree house time with Cohen this week! 

Isaac started a caulking project. A project  (ahhh it really never ends and will probably never be done) 

After I dropped Tann off at school Thurs Isaac and I got to go on a little lunch date!!!

That was awesome! Hopefully we can make a habit of it! 

Here’s the first day pics: 3rd K and Pre-K

I got this from Colts teacher day one. We love her. She is Cannons kindergarten teachers sister and its perfect the brothers got sisters we are very happy!! He’s wearing the sharing hat in this pic

Tonight we had the Pettit’s and the Vorkink‘s over. It was super super fun, we have been wanting to have them over for a long time! Like since the Vorkink’s came and helped us paint! We bbq’d chicken and zip lined and slip’n slided and the boys “worked” in the tree house—it was a good time.

There is a ton more I could say. But it’s getting late! And I am tired! 

Recovery week

The title of this post says it all. 

Saturday we slept. I dunno what else. Isaac drove all But about 200 miles of the drive (and that really best because he doesn’t really like how I drive) but I’m telling you what-give that guy a book to listen to and you’re golden.

Oh and Sethy did awesome...until the last 3 hours he screamed his head off. He would occasionally wear himself out and sleep a little but only if he was holding my hand. It was rough-and kinda sweet too.

Sunday while I thought we were 15 minutes early for church we were in fact 45 minutes late!! What? True!! Neither my phone nor my watch-which syncs to my phone- switched from Utah time. Whoops! Good thing it was me and not Isaac!!!

Seth wasn’t real impressed with Isaacs popsicle. And sometimes he pillowfights with himself. Ha! 

It was a week of a lot of friends. The Jacobs came, they invited us to the park but the boys begged to have them at park Ison. They had a blast with a dead raccoon...so gross! Jason no thanks on the older boy tricks—I’ve got it bad enough! I loved getting to chat with Sarah though, I’m so glad they moved back. Tuesday Dax came. Wednesday William, then Thursday all the Baker kids. Yeah recovery week has been pretty busy! 

Wednesday Isaac threw together a beach night. So we had a late night. We had a swimming pool in the van when the water cooler he packed tipped. Whoops! 



Thursday he threw together the ice cream social (ok this one was planned before but let’s be loosed on the word “planned” maybe scheduled would be better?) Started at 6:30, at 6:20 there was no Isaac no ice cream oh and nobody was supposed to be in the bldg because the carpets had been cleaned. I just started boss’s people around. I felt bad but...something needed to happen. I took my shoes off and went socken foot and had people shuttle chairs out to the grass and Isaac showed up at 6:24 (before leaving again to go pick people up) with ice cream. And all in all it was a success—go figure. My boys loved watching Jared make liquid nitrogen ice cream!!

And now it’s Friday! Sigh! Isaac worked on the door downstairs for me—that was awesome! I took Colt and we did some school shopping, we had fun. Tonight we played a little baseball, I was happy the younger boys wanted a turn. I guess that’s it.

Maybe a few more random pics..












And wait!!! That is not it... this little toad can MOVE!!!!

It’s not really scooting but it’s definitely not staying where you set him down either!!!

They grow too fast! That’s for sure!! 

Tons more fun

Saturday Seth-a-roo turned 5 months!! And mom might not have been in on it but he and dad celebrated with a piece of watermelon.

🤷‍♀️

Saturday was also the big family picture. Hopefully we get some good ones back. 

Sunday we switched from Ison fun to Frei fun. 




Monday we made it over to see Great Grandma Cottam. Isaac had gone riding motorcycles with Ethan so he ran him home after and brought Ann and Elsie back down with him.




We went swimming and that night over to the temple visitors center. 

Tuesday Grampa took the day off and spoiled us by taking us up to the ranch. 

Wednesday we got Cannon in for an eye exam—the guy said he probably doesn’t wear his glasses because they wouldn’t help him see anyway. Whoops! Hopefully the new ones will help! Then we met up with the Nielson’s. Blake and Isaac are Soooo similar that it’s always really fun to visit with Annie. We have have a lot in common 🤣. It was great to see them though! Such great friends! 

Then that night Isaac and Grampa tended and Grama Sethy and I  just went shopping—it was soooo fun. I needed that! 
Thursday morning we hit the temple again, this time we saw Aunt Sherrie and her sister in our session! It was wild to think that is the last time we will be in the celestial room when it is like it was when we were married—we stepped up into the sealing room we were married in too. It’s a special place!! (The mockups of the remodel are awesome too!) 

That afternoon Grama headed to work at the temple and we packed up had a root beer float with Grampa and headed for Huntington. 

Oh I almost forgot— early birthday spank’n! Afterward Colt said “Grama gives away pennies nickles and quarters but Grampa gives away dollars!!!” 🤣 it was funny! 

Today we slipped up to forks of Huntington and explored the left fork. 

And now we’re on the road! With lots of hours still to go!
