I feel like ever since I made that last post I've been reborn, had a change of heart, or something. I just feel much better. I did have a blessing last night too, so I should give Heavenly Father the credit :). But I feel much better. I feel like a dork for whining too. I apologize to all of you who have so much more to deal with right now..... I really had no room to complain.
Today was a nice day! I love Mondays and having Nate home all day. The girls made breakfast again and then spent the rest of the day cleaning their room (and really, it was at least 5 hours of "clean your room", "is your room clean?", "how's your room coming along?"..... not my favorite, but they finally got it to an acceptable state. (I'm totally decluttering it tomorrow... they have way too much crap in that room) They were able to play in the pool for a little while before the shade and cold water ruined their fun.
The boys learned how to fold clothes (Bradley did amazing, should have taught him a long time ago, he was very helpful and happy to help too!! Luke on the other hand.... I think I might have to wait before I consider what he does helpful) Then they played in the pool the rest of the afternoon. Nate and I got a lot done around the house, had a fun water fight with the boys outside and felt very productive. The huge stack of laundry that has been plaguing my mind is now gone! (I'm not crazy though, I know it will be back, I'm just pumped to do it right away, and not let it sit there forever!) I got a sunburn on my legs with a really unattractive tan line to go with it. Now I really have some lines to show off when we finally go swimming :) (as if wearing a swimsuit isn't embarrassing enough). Then for FHE we went to the park for pizza and sand castles. Nate and I had this plan to go to the float preview thing at the South Towne Expo Center tonight, and when we told the kids about it they said, "can't we just go to the park?" Well, duh. Of course we can!! You mean instead of driving all the way to Sandy and hauling all you kids around through aisles and aisles of parade floats, just go to the park? Yeah, Nate and I were happy that that was all they wanted :) We had a good time.
I know these pictures are somewhat redundant with how many I take and that I've already taken many at this park, making sandcastles, but that's what we do :) And we have fun doing it, so I document!
Nate's so fun to get in and get all muddy with the girls making their "special-est castle in the universe!!!"
Luke was so proud of his star :)
As soon as Brad saw me with the camera he was all over the showing me his "coolest tricks ever!" I think he was trying to show off to this kid that was there. He kept saying stuff like, "pretty cool huh mom!" and "does that look pretty scary?", "this one is REAWWY scary!"..... it was fun to humor him :) And he was very much looking forward to "putting them on the computer to look at them after" :) So there are lots :)
I have no idea where Lukey found this little green gem that is on his face, but I find it so humorous that he will put things on his face and leave them there! And I like this picture of him :)
making another star....
another "pretty cool trick"
okay, does this not gross you out? Pizza and sand.... ew
Noah is very big on going UP the slide.... till he wipes out that is.
"Look Mom! No hands!" HA!
This is Noah's impression of me watching Bradley.
And this one just makes me laugh!!! I seriously keep cracking up everytime one of these pics of Noah pops up :) He has the funniest little faces!! He just kept saying "eeeeese" for me when I would say his name- he knows the drill.... he makes me laugh.
WHOA.... COOOOOOOOL!!!!!! :)
LOL
awww..... that's my cutie!
and I really love this one of Kelly. She's so pretty!
what do you think? wedding video worthy? just teasing, charity!!
Now this one I love! .... so grown up!!! And beautiful!
I LOVE this one.... the straight back posture, cheesy grin, double chin.... LOL!!!
Here's the castle AFTER Luke so gracefully fell on it..... lol..... he was climbing up the bar next to it and totally just slipped and fell back, flat on the castle. He immediately jumped up saying, "sorry daddy, sorry daddy" like over and over. Didn't cry, didn't even answer us when we asked if he was okay. I think he just realized how devastated someone might be.... He was SO FUNNY. I laughed SO HARD!! Obviously I hadn't been very attached to the castle.......
here's Luke saying sorry to Kelly (on his own, I might add, he was very remorseful considering the fact that it was a total accident)..... Kelly was so sad. :(
again, I just love this kid..... and the cute Daddy he's sitting with :) I have the best husband.
so cute.
on the swings going "super duper high!" (according to Lukey) Noah laughed so hard :) And Luke was being a fun little kid too.... almost made it worth the scorching heat and blinding sun in my eyes :)
I KNOW I have a million pictures of my kids eating ice cream..... we do it a lot, but THIS one was funny because Noah had his own cone, he was eating it so fast, and kept moaning with pleasure, and pulling it away and doing the "AHHH" sound. He was really going at it with the ice cream cone. Then in the middle of all that, his cute little double chin was jiggling with each bump in the road..... I was laughing..... I laughed a lot tonight :)..... how this kid stays in the 5th percentile for his weight and manages to pull off a double chin as jiggly as his, is beyond me :) But it sure is funny :) Good times.....
