Hatch Week

Since the big girls were going to be gone later during the Hatch's visit, and so that Sarah could use my camera, they stopped by!  We all got to meet Izzy which was really exciting.  This girl is SO CUTE!!!  Look at those chubs!!  I can't get over how much she looks like Brent and Alvin.  In a girly way of course.  But anyway.  It was fun to see Charlie, Alvin and Savannah as well!  We all got a kick out of Charlie and the Rubik's cube!  He's really good!  Noah and I were both a little rusty to be competition.  6-21-18

Wednesday was a lot of fun.  I'm going to affectionately call this day Hatch Day because it was our main day to hang out with the Hatches.  We went really late to playgroup on Wednesday, so we only got to play with friends (or avoid playing with friends, I should say) for a little bit, but then headed off to the Zoo to meet up with Sarah and her kids.  Unfortunately, and embarrassingly, I missed the exit and had to go all the way to 3300 S. because I was buried in the carpool lane, so that was a bummer, we got there like 20 minutes late!  But after that it was smooth sailing.  They even let us in without any trouble.  Pretty cool.  We had a lot of fun looking at the animals and just being with them.  Sarah and I stopped in all the shady spots to catch up, and the kids were back to being best buds right away.  I love how kids do that.  It was a VERY hot day!  97 degrees is pretty hot for the zoo.  Who goes to the zoo in 97 degree temps?  But we all agreed that the drive to Pizza Pie Cafe was almost worse than the zoo!  Even with the AC blasting!  We met up with Grandpa and Steve for pizza.  That was a crazy little trip to PPC, but the kids loved being with their cousins and I got to make Steve laugh when I dumped my Ranch tainted lemon wedges onto his empty plate.  They were all Ranch-y, I couldn't squeeze them into my water after that.  He thought it was really funny for some reason, so I'll take it :).  It's not everyday I get to make him laugh.  Returning the favor.  I had a ginormous salad and thought I was doing so good with the KETO, but when I put it all into my ap, it was like 50 carbs?  I kinda think there was something wrong, or maybe it wasn't NET carbs... not sure.  Anyway.  After pizza, we went up to Grandpa Hatch's house.  The kids went through Grandpa's change collection and adopted all the ones they wanted. HA!  Great way to steal money from someone :).  Then we went and got snowcones together- kind of a tradition with us, Grandpa and the Hatches.  Lots of fun!  We made some pretty memorable messes!  I loved Savannah's "all the girls together!" poses :).  She's adorable.  Even with a red tongue.  Then Noah, Jack and the Hatch kids all slept over at Grandma Hatch's house!  Erika didn't want to leave Molly out, so she decided not to sleepover, so we took advantage of the opportunity to have a "girls night".  We went to Walmart, got some clothes since ours were all dirty (HA!  I wish this could always be the answer to that problem :).  Just kidding)- one more day without a dryer!  Then came home and watched Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken on my bed with my laptop.  Just the three of us :).  It was so much fun!  I loved Molly's little forced toot followed by, "I tooted in you bed" big smile :).  She's hilarious.  She fell asleep before it was over so I took her to bed.  Erika wanted to sleep with me :).  6-27-18
