These are all out of order and its so late I am just going to try not to care. The first few weeks of autumn as defined by "kids in school" not cool weather, since its blazing hot every day out here.
Twinners started prek soccer today!!
"We are the green geckos!" say the boys. Both excelled at running around with the ball and show natural Dowling-sports genes!
We went to a baptism today and it was probably the first time I noticed what a good attentive listener Lo is. He really truly listens to what people tell him and that is probably why he is so smart, I am sure he also retains a lot of what he hears. something that I am sure will bless his life immensely. I loved hearing the talk about baptism and seeing Lo responding by nodding or verbally acknowledging what was being said. Smartie pants! Little D did a great job keeping him occupied and playing with him when he did get bored.
We went to the BYU football game tonight with our neighbors while another set of neighbors watched the kids.... we are VERY lucky!
Lo has been collecting weeds on our walks and so he cheesed it up for me and requested a pic. Also they are replacing sidewalks all over our neighborhood so walks are a lot more difficult.
Lan: "TAKE PICTURES OF ME AND MY LEGOS!"
^^ this needs the hashtag #alldayerrday^^
and the beautiful keely was the reason we were in SLC for a baptism for her little guy... I love her so much and love how our kids have basically grown up together the last 8 years. And us the last 14!
the first of the month I took these lovely young ladies to the temple to do some
family history work. It was early but these ladies had a great attitude
It was a beautiful morning when we finished,
so I felt like we needed to treat ourselves to some Kneaders! First time I have had that chunky french toast in a really long time (this was inbetween whole30s). and to be honest? Not really as good as I was hoping.
Pandas and Frogs for this little one last week on behalf of her brothers per her request...
I hiked the Y by myself earlier this week, walked with a few sprints, and then ran the whole way down (not a great idea I will be repeating anytime soon but I hate going downhill and it was faster that way)
Little A and I discovered BOB books (she loves being able to read to the boys herself!)
^^THIS from the coolest big kid I know^^
Going hard with playing and prek (without set naps, but still waking up before 7am) means a lot of crashing on the couch in the afternoon!
^^from the baptism this morning...Keely has the most lovely backyard for entertaining! SO many trees and lots of beautiful plants!
and Lan has been taking lots of pics on my phone....
The kids helping me clean the chairs after the first day of school...
How our living room currently looks: ....we just got that chair, and it is the most coveted spot in the house.
ergo, Kevs hops in there any chance he gets!!!
Moana hair for school last week
and some fun pics from our last picnic at the Draper temple (close to Drew's former work)
and... I have finally made progress on our bedroom!!! I found a painting I am in love with, and I finally put our mattress off the floor. Now to figure out a headboard so I can put up my painting and "finish" the Master!
