July 2024

This girl loves to sing and dance!

This is what the boys have been up to...good thing they didn't burn down not only our house but the neighbors as well. "Mom, it's fine we are making fires in the rocks! It's contained! We make sure to stomp it out!"

Neighborhood 4th of July bike parade

We were so far behind everyone and Eden eventually gave up and I had to walk her bike home.

Beau all decked out for the 4th!

We went over to the Rowberry's for dessert and fireworks.

Olivia and Blair

Blakely, Amelia, and Maddy

Olivia, Blair, and Easton

Eden, Austin, and Dyer

KK and Penny

Don't mind the mess in the background...We had a flood in the boys room so all their stuff was brought into the playroom.

Easton informed us at 11 pm that his carpet was wet! "By the way I noticed it earlier this morning but no one was around to tell."  Hello, have you heard of a phone?!? Next time call or text us!

Apparently one of the main water pipes that runs from inside to outside wasn't sealed correctly (the builders used spray foam and it didn't seal all the way) so when we were using the sprinklers right next to the house all the extra water ran right into the wall of the boys room and onto their carpet!  It was a mess! A man came and cemented around the water pipe so hopefully it won't happen again.  We also sealed off that sprinkler just in case!

Nathan went to girls camp again this year!

Blakely taking pictures of Beau...her model!

She lost the other 2 teeth so now she is missing 4 front teeth! Her gums seem a little swollen like teeth are about to come in but they definitely haven't broken through yet!

Rock climbing followed by swimming at Dierkes Lake.

We tried reenacting an old photo from when Eden was a baby but Blair refused to be on the bottom!

Same sweet girls just in a different order!

I'm loving that Eden's hair is getting long enough that I'm finally able to do cute hair styles again!

Not sure why Eden's upset...maybe she didn't get to push the button?

Eden: I have a boo boo and the only thing that will make it better is yogurt.

Me laughing at her.

Eden: I'm not joking!

Me laughing even harder.

Eden: I'm still not joking!

Eden: That poop was amazing!

Me: Did that really just come from your mouth?!?

Eden with a confused/ are you really that stupid? look on her face: No, from my butt!

June 2024 Birthdays and Family Reunions

We took Valerie up to Gpa and Gma's cabin

The girls have a ton of fun with Gma Karla

Side by side ride

KK pretending to sleep

Valerie and Dyer

Nathan driving

Trying to build dams with Dyer

Of course Eden got sick!  I wonder if she gets altitude sickness? She's gotten sick both years we've gone up there. The day after we went into town and she was fine but then she got sick again the following day...so weird!

Checking out the Sacajawea trail.

Making fairy houses with Gma

Celebrating Blair's birthday a day early.  

We were traveling home and cleaning Gpa and Gma Stockton's house on her actual birthday.

Celebrating again the day after her birthday.

The girls showing Gpa and Gma Earnest their art at the art show.

Afterwards we took them to Dairy Queen to see Easton at work! I should have snapped a picture of Easton at work...

We took the whole family to Olive Garden for my birthday.  I made it very clear that I didn't want anyone to tell them it was by birthday because I didn't want them to sing to me...Well, Valerie never listens.  Luckily the restaurant wasn't super busy at the time we were there. I guess Valerie can be forgiven since she went behind our backs and paid for the whole meal. Thanks Valerie!

Cake for breakfast?!? Heck yes!!!!

Dyer's Golden birthday! 13 on the 13th!

Can you tell how much he loves getting his picture taken?

Blair playing the piano and singing

Blakely and KK at CSI basketball camp.

KK got upset and started to cry. Blakely was such a great big sister and comforted her by letting her sit in her lap! I love moments like this!

Blakely's in the white shirt (center of court) and KK is in the red shirt.

Princess camp!

To this day she still talks about how she is a Princess because she went to Princess camp! 

Eden put her doll in cool down and was full on giving her doll a talkin to. HAHA!

KK gymnastics

Family reunion at Gpa and Gma Earnest's (most of the cousins-missing Aaron and Emery)

Jac and Mommy (bend and snap!)

There's a roundabout in town that has an eagle statue and waterfall.  I swear I drove around that thing 15+ times before my sister, Jacqui, finally got a picture of it!

Zoo trip

Still cracks me up that Adisyn is 2 years older than Blakely

Sisters

Siblings with Mom

I usually feel super short when I'm around most people but when I hang out with my family I feel tall!  

Haha Jana! Obviously we are not entertaining enough for her....that or she is getting old...

Scavenger hunt!

Boys vs. Girls

KK with Auntie Jana

Winners posing with Gpa and Gma!

Losers!

All the winners got $10!

Swim day!

Blakely attended a basketball clinic and all the girls got giant otter pops!

Eden gymnastics

KK climbing the rope

Still gummy in the front after almost 6 months of them coming out! She lost one at the end of December and the other at the beginning of January. At this rate she might be singing "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth" in December! There is no sign of any teeth coming in and her two teeth on either side are now loose! Crazy!
