Well, we made it through the first week back after
break. Jon stayed home sick with a head
cold Wednesday- Friday, but other than that we all survived. It’s nice to be back on a schedule.
Tyler had a wrestling meet this past weekend. Our team did
pretty good, but not quite well enough to make the finals. 3 of our guys lost matches where they would
have medaled had they won.
Over the break we moved Ryder into Taylor and Jon’s room and
Levi in with Max. We painted the older
boy’s room and cleaned out Max’s walk-in closet and put all the toys in
there. We’ve been going through and
getting rid of lots of stuff as we go.
It feels good to de-junk a little bit.
One thing I can’t decide on is whether or not to get rid of the
bassinet, bumbo seat, and baby bouncer. Not sure if we’re done having babies yet, or
if we’re going to try one more time for a little girl.
Taylor is in Band this quarter at school. He brought home a trumpet from California and
has been practicing a little. He said
there is some kind of contraption that you can attach to the trumpet where it
mutes the sound of the horn, but there’s earphones and the person playing can
still hear it. Does anyone know what it’s
called? I’m pretty sure we’re going to want to invest in one of them J
Jon is enjoying 5th grade and 11 yr. old
scouts. He has a really good scout
leader who helps the boys get a good start on all of the requirements. Over the break we found a treadmill on
Craigslist for a decent price and implemented a new rule. The boys have to earn their electronic time-
they earn ½ hr. of electronic time for every ½ hr. on the treadmill or the
trampoline. So far, Jon’s the only one who’s opted to use the treadmill and he
said it wasn’t too bad. We’re trying to help them be active and hope this
works. Tyler and I made goals to get fit
too.
Max is glad to be back to preschool and is getting good at
recognizing letters and numbers-especially on the computer keyboard and the
Netflix menu. He loves to play Roblox
and jump on the trampoline. He thinks it’s
pretty fun to run on the treadmill too, but only lasts a few minutes.
Levi is a Sunbeam now!
He seems much too little not to be in Nursery anymore, but he has a
great teacher and seems to be liking sharing time and class. He is at such a fun age where he’s learning a
lot and just recently he’s been enunciating how he talks and pronouncing each
syllable very clearly. Each morning
when he wakes up, he tells everyone “good morning” and when he says “I lub you”
and then you say “I lub you too”, he says “Me too.” So sweet J
Ryder is growing up way too fast! He’s walking around furniture like a pro and
is even standing by himself for a few seconds at a time. He finally figured out the crawling thing,
but only likes to crawl on the rug in the front room and the carpet in mom and
dad’s room. I don’t blame him- It probably hurts to crawl on tile. He will be
10 months old this week! The latest thing he’s been doing is sticking his arms
up above his head and waving his hands with a big grin on his face. Cutest. Thing. Ever!
Well, that’s our update for now. Oh- did I mention how much we LOVE 9:00 Church!! It’s so nice to have the whole afternoon to
relax and spend time with family. 7:30
Ward Council on the other hand- not liking that so much.
I guess there’s always a trade-off.
Hope everyone has a great week!
