Soccer season has begun!

Millie is playing soccer again this year! Her team is the Tigers, made up of 10 cute kids in our ward. They're all friends and they're having so much fun. 

All ready for her first game!





Put me in, coach!


Saying hi to cousin Wes.



Gigi, Poppy, James, and Wes came to her first game too! 


The kids were so excited to go to Gigi and Poppy's house after the game. They enjoyed playing and a fun bike ride with Poppy.

10 on 10: February 2017

1. Friday tradition: Walk/ride around the lake at the park with friends. I love this little bike gang.


2. Between riding around the lake and playing at the park afterwards, Max was wiped out on our drive home! 10:30am!


3. I love the way they look at each other.


4. Blurry selfie because Max kept tackling us from behind! Boys will be boys.


5. Millie asked to take a picture and this was what she got.


6. Their reaction to asking if they wanted to go to Mod Pizza for dinner!


7. Sometimes I just line the boys up for double diaper changes. I'm pretty excited to be out of the diaper phase. Not the cute babies phase though. Too bad the cute babies come with the diapers!


8. Double swing pushes too. It's always fun to play in Ms. Sharon's backyard!


9. Icing Max's foot after a fall (ice cures everything!) and snuggling.


10. I love this boy and his squishy baby rolls! Never grow up Harvey!


First dentist visit

I took both kids to the dentist recently and they had so much fun. They were both a little nervous but once we got there the cool stuff totally won them over. Pediatric dentistry wasn't really a thing when I was a kid but I'm glad they make it fun now. They keep asking to go back!






Little things

The kids brought me flowers (weeds) from the backyard. Can you guess which were from Millie and which were from Max??



Millie and Max have been very interested in earning money lately. I'm trying to make the most of it! Here they are scrubbing all the doors and handles with disinfecting wipes. 



Harvey was fighting sleep one night and making some pretty funny and adorable faces.


Max wanted to try out Millie's goggles in the tub and it made me so excited for summer! Also, how hair. I can't control it, I can only laugh at it.


Saw this funny sign at Wal-Mart one day. Not sure how that math works.

January wrap-up

Millie offered to read a book to Max. I love it when they're nice to each other!


Max got to borrow our neighbor's/cousin's bike and was super excited to be on a Lightning McQueen bike while wearing Lightning McQueen socks and shoes.


Millie has a little obsession with climbing trees lately, which is really too bad because there are no good climbing trees around here! She makes do with this one by our mailbox.


I've recently started exercising at night. It was just a bit much to try and fit it in the morning routine. I don't really like doing it at night but that's better than not at all I guess! Harvey sometimes makes it difficult by being extra snuggly. I can't seem to put him down when he's like that.


A happy boy and a messy floor.


Not sure who got the dress code memo wrong - the underdressed kid or the overdressed one!


I may have mentioned this before, but Millie moved up a level in swimming recently which moved her to the big pool. Until they can swim the full 25 meters in a stroke they use this little platform as a halfway point. Millie loves it.


I had to document Max's request for breakfast every morning for a couple weeks - an apple with peanut butter. Usually accompanied by some "yogurt wif granola chunks."


I thought this was the cutest picture ever! Until Tyler pointed out a weird shadow or something that makes it look like Harvey has a bump or something on the right side of his forehead. Now it's all I see haha. Still a cute pic.


Having a baby snuggled up to you is one of the best feelings ever!


This is Max "hiding" to surprise Tyler when he came home from work. He obviously buys into the "I can't see you, you can't see me" notion.



Had to stop for a jump on our way home from the park.



The kids and I took a Sunday walk and partway through Max asked me to carry him. He giggled when I put him on my back and said "This is great! This way I won't get tired!" He's got it all figured out.


We hadn't listened to the Standin' Tall CDs in a while but Millie asked to listen to the one on service. Afterwards we talked about it and I told them I would start asking what they've done to serve someone each day at dinner. A few minutes later Millie snuck into Max's room and shut the door. I suspected some naughty behavior so I went in after a minute and found her making Max's bed! Such a sweetheart. I may have cried. Definitely made them pose by the bed so I could remember the sweet moment.


My last Sam's trip was the day before Harvey was born and it was high time we went. I "put on my big girl panties" as my mom says and took all the kids with me. I was exhausted afterward but we all survived!


First time at library story time in a while. Also, documentation of Millie's awesome hair. She rocked a headband AND a necklace around her head. I wish I had her confidence!



I think Harvey has officially begun teething. He sucks on his hands so much, usually audibly too which is so cute. Doesn't seem to bother him too much yet, thank goodness!


That's a wrap on January!
