First day of school video - better late than never!

Boys

My (local) nieces and nephews... they're all getting so old!

Asher, Adam & Josh

Josh and Asher watching Scooby Doo on Netflix... a fav thing to do

Playing video games... all they ever REALLY want to do!

Josh & his cousin Adam are great friends! This is at Adam's ordination... can't believe he's 14!

My cheesehead Max, playing computer and saying, "Cheeeeese!"

He loves this laptop soooo much.

Noah, Adam & Josh playing gameboy

Noah loves to play with Max & make him laugh

Just a Sunday afernoon

Asher, my mom, Josh

Max

Pillow Pets

My mother-in-law LOVES to spoil my children, and she has done it again. Asher has apparently been begging for a Pillow Pet for months now (I had never even heard of them, I guess the commercial is on Qubo, which he watches at her house), and Michele loves to get them what they want! She had them sent to our house, one for each of them, and they haven't stopped playing with them since.

Watch the commercial:




When Josh opened his, he said, "Mom! The commercial says, 'One hug and you're in love!'"

I said, "Well, are you in love?"

He said, "Well... for me, it took two."

You'll Always Be "the Bubble" in Our Hearts

Yesterday we went to the rec center (which was called "The Bubble" as long as I can remember, till they tore out the part that looked like a bubble and replaced it with some lame square building) at Elizabeth's request, because she's going home tomorrow. :( We will miss them so much!!!

Max fell asleep on the towels, so cute!

Haha, my nephew Alex cracks me up.

My nephew Avery

Joshua

Aunt Dani and Asher

Asher spent the day in a t-shirt because he already had a little bit of a sunburn from the water party we had in the backyard this week. He definitely inherited my fair skin!

Natalie, Jenny, Avery & Max, Grandpa

Noah playing basketball in the pool - he has a hard time seeing, so he's pretty squinty lately!

Max and Avery spent most of the time on a towel in the grass. They are not fans of swimming yet!

Josh and Alex about to get in the pool

Josh and Steve's sister Danielle

Asher was mostly just hungry the whole time! This is me & Asher (with his mustard-covered pretzel).

Jenny is taking that whole living in Farmington thing pretty seriously, lol!

Elizabeth after the pool


And some random pictures of the day before and after the pool:

My cute crawling baby!

Jon bought 3D puzzles for the kids to do... turns out they're too hard for just the kids, so the grown-ups ended up building them.

Josh and Steve

Josh and I built a spider (try to ignore my just-out-of-the-shower look - ew)

Jon and Elizabeth built an elephant

Steve and Asher built a frog

Madi, Elizabeth, Josh and Asher built a castle out of blocks

I'm going to miss this little Miss Madi so much!

Asher's castle :)

Random Videos

I just found this video from Josh's birthday party. Haha I love how my family can't sing at ALL, and how I say "I can't put this on my blog now." So, just for that... it's going on the blog.



Remember the day Asher needed a lunchbox like his brother? This is that same day. :)



I love this kid!
