Keat’s Photo

We had a wet, rainy day of soccer games yesterday. During Jonas’s game a full rainbow came out. Keat has a back for photography & took some beautiful pics.

Thad Flag Football

Thad a blast this year doing flag football! He was a natural who averaged 1 to 2 touchdowns most games! He even won Most Valuable Player! 

Fun story, he was sitting out for a play & was watching the other game next to us. His buddy, Beck, scores & Thad was so excited he ran & congratulated him! I got this text from Beck’s mon, “Did you see Thad come and congratulate beck on his touchdown?! I thought that was the cutest thing ever:) what a sweetie. Big win right there-cheering in others! That & killing it on the field. MVP for sure!

Nighttime Routine

Our nighttime routine consists of prayer, scripture study (if it wasn’t five in the am), potty, brush/floss teeth. If it’s early enough, we read to the you get 3. We just finished Charlie & the Greaf Glass Elevator. 

If the boys have any say in our routine (especially Keat) some type of wrestling/boxing occurs😜 He’s always pushing Jason to a battle. It drives me bonkers. Today, I came downstairs to check on all 4 boys who were suppose to be getting ready for bed. It’s an adorable pic-all 4 boys arm wrestling. I showed Jason & said, “one day I will cry about this pic.” Good memory. 

Jude’s first haircut

Jude officially turned 5 this week AND got his first haircut!!

Sweet Thad, the Big Brother

Jude has been asking for a kite for a while now. Thad came home from school one day & handed Jude a brand new Batman Kite! He had earned a price over the last few weeks for good behavior. He chose the kite specifically for his little brother💓Jude was so excited!

Today, I was jumping out of the shower & Jude insisted we fly the kite now because it was windy. We got out just in time to gear the first sound of thunder😳 Jason joined us & we tried for a few min u til we deemed it no longer safe. Wanted to capture this memory-the sweet kindness of a brother & the childlike excitement of the youngest.

Soccer

We’re full fledge in soccer season again 🙌😅 Jas & I sat down one Sun night to see how crazy our schedules would be. It’s Thad’s first comp season & Jas is coaching his team. Lots of crazy Saturdays. This is from Strikers Cup in Aug. Thad’s first tourney. His first game, he s it’s a hat trick! Sure love being a soccer mom!

Just Because

My little man Jude turns 5 in 3 days. This pic makes me smile. Enjoying his gift from J & K

First Day of School 2019

Keaton is in 8th, Jonas in 6th, Thad in 2nd & Jude in prekinder. I can’t even believe how fast they’ve grown! 

Weber river expedition

We had the most sketchy adventure on the river yesterday!  Me and Jude on our standup paddle board T-boned a bridge pillar on our stand up paddle board in the rapids and got rolled. Both of us were under the board holding our breath until I threw the board off of us and plopped Jude out of the water back on the board!  Wish I could say that was the only sketchy event with my 4 year old in the rapids!  This whole adventure was a blast and a bit sketchy for sure with Thad navigating his own kayak through class III rapids. He tipped a few times too!  Jonas came off of his Kayak on Taggert falls. Keat tried to ride the rapids standing, which backfired as he plunged his knees into the rocks. Jenn chilled down the river on a big tube, occasionally getting pushed into the trees and shrubs. Such a great memory!
