    No Comments

    For the end of April, 27-30th, Tracie and John, Cedar, Bren, and Hadley came and stayed with us. The kids keep us busy since their 3 and our youngest 3 are the same ages.

    We loved playing with little baby Hadley. Tiago is so big next to her. Packer got his birthday present from Grandma and Grandpa Robertson!

    On Thursday we all drove to Springville and picked up Aunt Diane and Aunt Susan and went to lunch at Del Taco! It was fun to see them and catch up since they moved out here from Oroville. The kids got to play and we got to chat. Sean and Kelsey met us there and we brought Gus.

    More chill time: Laser tag, playing with babies,

    And then playing Code Names when we finally get the kids in bed 🙂 I think the boys won this round.

    On Friday I watched the Hancock kids and Tracie and John visited some friends. Then Saturday they packed up while we ran between soccer games. They came to one of the games and loaded up a bunch of Brady’s things from the basement. We went out for Kong Kones and said our goodbyes around 2:00.

    Ben and I played in a soccer game at 3:00 and then Ryan and Mary and kids came over! W played a few games and ate dinner and taught Kelsey how to play Puerto Rico and then Joel and Megan called to tell us that the party was at their house! We headed over there at 9:30 and they had leftover birthday party treats unlimited! We ate pizza and soda and churros and cookies and cake and donuts and… I don’t even know what they ate but they were happy. We played a round of fibbage and came home a little after 11:00pm.

    And that was our week/weekend! non stop fun. In the meantime Brady finished his first week at the Academy! and a few pics I stole from Tracie…

    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.

    IMG_20160420_112029 IMG_20160420_112306
    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.

    Movie Grille Date Night

    No Comments

    We have been planning a night on the town in Ogden and it finally happened. On March 19th we picked up Joel and Megan and Kelsey and drove to Ogden. We dropped our 7 kids off with Taylee and Kylee and Ryan and Mary’s other 5 kids! We grabbed Ryan and Mary and met Shannon at the Movie grille. The movie Grille was fun because you order and then eat during the movie and we played a little Pool afterwards! I had a lot of fun out on the town with these guys!

    The kids did great without us 🙂 Tiago slept most of the time 🙂 and we had time to play a couple of games before heading home!

    Our Niece Shaelyn is home from her mission! She’s been home for 3 weeks actually. We haven’t seen her yet BUT we’ve chatted and are hoping to see her in May. I loved reading her weekly email. Shae was such a great missionary and her emails were always enlightening and uplifting. I am so grateful for such good examples for my kids. Welcome Home Sister Eggers.

    Sunday Funday

    No Comments

    We get to have some of my family over on Sundays! We all look forward to it. My kids ask every weekend who is going to come this time 🙂

    This Sunday was another fun one. Joel, Megan, Gus, Sean, Jana, Kelsey. And Brady showed up at the end.

    Millie and Jana played hide and go Seek:

    The kids smothered their aunts and uncles. Gus entertained all of us with his walking and spasms and cuteness.

    IMG_20160313_191631 IMG_20160313_194559

    We ate roast and played Fibbage and chatted a lot and had treats.

    Good Times.

    Provo City Center Temple

    We spent Saturday at the New Provo Temple!!

    IMG_20160227_112421 IMG_20160227_112433

    The Wait was an hour with tickets- kind of long BUT at least we had a heads up that it would be crowded. Kelsey and Brady and C-way helped entertain the kids. And we happened to be by an old hometown friend (Chris Howarth) in line so we got to catch up with him a little.

    IMG_20160227_123903

    The Temple is BEAUTIFUL. It was great to be there with Ben and all of our kids and try to show them how neat this really is and get a sense for the beauty and peace of the temples. We loved the stain glass and the murals, and the colors and the wood work and the pretend bench chairs. It was Amazing. Also neat to think that Ben and I went to some of our first stake Conferences in that building.

    IMG_20160227_124158 IMG_20160227_124207

    After the tour we needed food so we braved the provo mall and Red Robin with all the kids (and aunt and uncle to help). We didn’t get home until dinner time and none of the chores got done but It was a great way to spend our day.

    IMG_20160227_151052

    That evening we left the kids with Brady and met Ben’s family at the Timpanogos Temple. We all went together and had a great time and topped it off with Culver’s Custard. We missed Emily, Schy, Rick, Jen and Amanda but We’re all determined to do that more often.

    this may be the only time ever so I have to gloat 🙂 I beat Ben’s score and we both beat the previous owner!

    Now it’s the 10th. First third of the month was a SUCCESS. We are all getting colds. Kelsey and Brady kept me up too late playing Nertz and Tiago just wants to be held all day so I’m off to rescue the baby and rest for a few minutes.
