Levi's events

This has been a clingy month for you my sweet boy, but as I practice patience, I am able to give my love freely back to you when you need it. (Reading my scriptures daily has really helped me find that spirit of endurance when working with toddlers!) You need naps, but often don't take them..which causes meltdowns in the afternoon or under the couch. How about this pic of you boys in the bathroom...Wes snapped it during sac meeting. yikes! You love "the brothers" and talk about them being at school, and when they come home sharing Oreos' with them (which you do so well with Ruby). You continue to love sports whenever we can practice, run to preschool on the sidewalk with your friends, go for walks in the wagon or scooter, waking up at 6am yelling "mom where are you!" and snuggling with me in bed. You like to hide your face with your hands when you don't want to talk, thinking I can't see you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Isaac's events

Just looking at this picture I can see what a happy, silly, loving and tender boy you are. Taking such great care of your "roommate" Ruby, playing tag with her around the crib, reading to her, sharing breakfast, helping her go up and downstairs at home or the park, and carrying her to me in the early morning hours. You love to play with Austin, calling him your best friend (I love that)...to campout, play banker, or dress up as cowboys. I also give when you want a date with mom (yogurtini!) So grateful to have your peace making heart in our family. (And oh how you love for me to chase your naked cheeks into the shower trying to squeeze them!) We watched The Man from Snowy River and there was a funny "eye" part of the movie with a horse, which is now a family joke! You were sick for a few days, but mom helped you puke in the middle of the night and you had a "sick day" where you and Wes both enjoyed some movies.

 

 

Austin's events

You are so disciplined! Up by 5:30am on your own, (slamming the cabinet doors as you do dishes), ready to go to cycle 6am class whenever you can, doing all your homework in one day, making your bed and keeping a clean room always. I even had you crawl into bed with me before sunrise to read scriptures! Such an early bird, and hard working.

 Spirit week was fun as you dressed up in your threads (suspenders were great) and wanted to be a "math teacher" with the pencils in your pocket. You continue to be creative (with a sofa-box), lemonade stand with your buddy Tyler Hoyler next door (you earned $8!), enjoying your siblings with walks/books/baseball/playing banker, etc. You were sick for a few days, but on the last day I think you just wanted a day with mom, "I love mom" was super sweet with your soup. I surprised you on a fieldtrip to the Music Instrument Museum, showing up at the park with Ruby. You were happy to show off your sister and run around with your friends. You also love BMX races with Tyler, which usually are all day (and you do your Saturday chores in a jiffy to be able to go!)
