    boys night

    No Comments

    the boys missed the ward Father and Sons camp out so they had their own outing. First they went to the movie Grille where they were the only ones in the theater at 5:00. They watched Jungle Book and ordered Dinner!

    After the movie they headed to Flynns Retro arcade! They spent the rest of the night playing old video games until the place closed at 11pm.

    Benji got the high score on Mario Bros.!! He got a free drink! (and that’s why we have arcades in our living room)

    They went to a Hotel for the night. Then hit Kneaders french Toast for breakfast on their way home.

    Not a typical Father and Son outing, but definitely one they will remember!

    Millie is thinking she is ready to be a big girl and use the toilet!!! Of course she chose the dirtiest grossest bathroom for her first success. And then she tried to make our already long car rides extra long by insisting on using the toilet (grrr) Now for mom to be ready…

    Brady and Millie are buddies! He’s lived here most of her life and she loves him! Brady is too nice to ever tell her no, so… they have lots of little routines and time together. Here are a few of them:

    Millie will wait for him to come home from work so she can follow him into the basement, “Bady home?”. He gets his shower stuff ready while she tries on his cologne or eats his candy or gum, or cough drops. She always comes up from the basement with a treat or smelling pretty.

    Then Brady will let her Exercise with him. They hang from the rafters. And do push ups. Brady does pull ups with her on his legs. Then they switch and she does the pull up with him on her legs :).

    Then Brady needs to shower and Millie is still wanting his attention so Millie waits outside the bathroom while he showers. Then Millie goes in to help with hair and teeth.

    The rest of the kids love Brady too:

    He lets them Hang from doorways and he plays Take a Seat. He throws them in the air and does Flippies. He lets them hang out in the Party Bus. Sometimes they go get Kong Cones, or visit the Puppy Barn. And they all love when Brady babysits because they get to Sleep in the loft cause Brady is too nice to put them to bed! Brady was a fun Live-in. I love getting to know my siblings better through these experiences. We will miss him. He left 4/20/16  for a job in CA. I think he moved in 9/ 1/14.

    At 5pm we invited a bunch of cousins over for his party! We played Star Wars Obstacle Course War and had arcade challenges and watched Transylvania 2. Ray’s cake had the dark side and the Light side inside the cake.

    Raymond is a good kid. He has learned to be pretty independent this year. No more help in the bathroom or getting dressed. He can do most things that Rosie pushes him to do. He spends his time keeping up with her, learning from her, and just playing hard. Ray is Silly and Adventurous. He still sucks his thumb whenever he is tired or sad. We love this handsome little man!

    Rose cannot get enough of this snow! She is living in her snow clothes. Even if no one else wants to go out with her!

    On Friday January 8th her older cousin Payton was here during a school day so she and Ray went out in the snow with him for a few hours:

    It’s been a cold winter but Rose is making the most of it.
