On January 26th we (foolishly) took our boys with us to see our babies gender (20wk) sonogram. They weren't super impressed and I somehow had forgotten how long those 20 week ultrasounds take. It was a small room with a lot of little boys in it. But look how handsome they are in the pictures! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Justin and I were pretty dang shocked we are having a boy, AGAIN. But I guess we would have been shocked if they had said we were having a girl.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Looks like we are an all boy family over here.</div>

Looking at these pictures makes me happy. I surprised Justin with a trip to San Diego for his birthday. It was SO nice, SO fun, and SO relaxing. We would do it again for sure. It was a nice quick trip and we were able to squeeze in a lot of things even though we weren't trying to "go, go, go" constantly. It was just a good time.</div>

One of the great things is that we were in a hotel RIGHT on the beach. The location was phenomenal. So many places to eat within very short walking distance. And we LOVE food, so the good food on this trip was definently a contributing factor to our high enjoyment level.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is Justins most favorite burger he ever has eaten. It was some kind of bison burger. They also homemade salt and vinegar chips that were AMAZING. We sat outside right by the beach at sunset. It was amazing--and right across the street from our hotel!</div>

THIS was so fun! We rented a TANDUM bike for a couple hours and road on the boardwalk and around the town. We were laughing SO hard, especially in the beginning while we were trying to get the hang of it!! It was more challenging then I thought, And we are coordinated people! A lot of the problem was Justins back handle bars were loose, so every time he put pressure on them, (like is necessary when you are just to start peddling and you need to balance), the handle bars would twist and throw him and I off balance. It's a miracle I didn't pee my pants. </div>

Treats treats and more treats, all the time! The only thing that wasn't good in our trip was my Tarro Boba Tea, it was the REAL Tarro root tea. Apparently I always get the fake stuff, (and I LOVE it!..But I didn't know it was a fake mix...) This was NOT fake and I did not ask for any added sweetener, (because I never needed it with my yummy fake stuff). Anyway, way to real for me, like drinking bark and leaves--and I'm a tea drinker! Well, maybe not as much as I thought...Anyway, everything else the rest of the trip was YUMMY though! The ice cream we are eating had shaved ice in the middle!</div>

The second day was "Beach Day." The water was so pretty, no seaweed and pretty darn clear. We rented wet suites and boogie boards, it wasn't very warm and neither was the water. YIKES! I was a really good sport and played with Justin probably farther out into the ocean water then I have ever been in my life. I think I was in a constant state of fight or flight as we tried to ride the waves in and I watched for sharks or other live things while I also tried not to freeze to death. I lasted a hour. Then I just watched Justin play while I tried to warm up on the beach. It didn't work. I was freezing. But I had such a nice view.</div>

The last day we rented ELECTRIC bikes. It was SUPER cool. They had "Santa Ana winds" that day, very powerful warm wind that made palms frons fall all over causing accidents and such. Anyway, we were able to just speed up hill and into the wind like it was nothing. Those bikes were REALLY fun. We covered a lot of ground.</div>

We went up to see the seals and walked/road around this darling ritzy little town nearby before flying back home. We passed people struggling on normal bikes and felt a little guilty, but just ended up passing them at abnormal speeds. It was pretty cool. :)</div>

This is a cute picture of Jax at the ward party. He is dressed up like a Jerusalem person back in the day. He is playing this weird roman "Game" with some other kids, (Rod is in the brown). I was very surprised it was holding their attention, it was cute so I wanted a picture.</div>

Just to document; Jaxton is a closet avid reader. He LOVES to read, but has a war internally because he LOVES video games more. One of the requirements for him to play video games is to read for 20 minutes a day, he always sets a timer because he knows if he doesn't he will read waay more then 20 minutes. Sometimes he will read without a timer--those are the times he reads the most. I love it. I think he loves it to...</div>

Calvin loves to cook with me ("cook wis' you?") Most especially he likes to make cookies. It might be for access to the chocolate chips and cookie dough, but either way, I can usually count on him to "help" me. Taking turns with making the dough balls is the longest, hardest part for his mom...But he looks really cute when he helps.</div>

Rods front teeth had to be cut out of the gums, (the gums had hardened because he had been missing his front teeth so long, they kind of callous.) He also had to get a filling in one of his 6 year molars he JUST got because his enamel is so poor. The process was facinating and I took a lot of pictures. I only included 3. One of the beginning, middle and end.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The "middle" picture is the one on the left. He had laughing gas and could not support his limbs. I was laughing so hard. The end one is him holding the "tiger" the gal made him out of a balloon. He loved that tiger.</div>

Rod LOVED his smart watch. Jax loved it too. Spoiler alert, we ended up taking back the karaoke machine we got Jax and got him one of these watches instead. The watch didn't come till a week after Christmas, but it seemed to be worth the wait for Jax. Apparently Karaoke isn't his thing...:)</div>

We gave great-grandma Gause a cheese slicer my dad made out of wood from her tree that split almost right down the center, in a storm! It was extra significant because it was the exact day that Charles (Justin's uncle and Grama's son) died. We happened to be AT her house when the tree broke and took some of the wood to my dad who treated it and dried it out and was able to make the handles for the slicer with it. Kind of a crazy story. </div>

We have a lot of changes going on in our house right now, and many more to come! We are trying to make more space for one more human in this tiny house. One of the things we did to save space was to get rid of the fireplace. This enabled us to get a sectional and move the TV to the center wall with a floating entertainment center. Preston helped us with the hook ups for the entertainment center and with that huge sectional. Good thing too because it was a little challenging. Thank you Preston! </div>

The boys begged us to go to the "skate park" by our house. So we made their day and took them. They had such a great time even though it was FREEZING. Mom and dad watched them from the car...!</div>

Beautiful Natasha had her birthday, I tried really hard to make the best Carrot cake ever. It was beautiful but didn't taste quite as good as it looked. Maybe next year... The elusive carrot cake gets me every time.</div>

Jax loves Natasha. All my kids love Natasha. Like SOOO MUCH.</div>

We finally got the Christmas tree up! It was a feat. We had lighting complications and it was really hard to finally get it all put together and lit. We love it though. We got some new ornaments and love the colors. The kids were so "helpful" with the decorating. I love them.</div>

Jaxton and Rod had their piano recitals!! They did SUCH a good job. I love listening to them play. I loved their pleased faces when they finish. It all makes me very happy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next time though I'm going to request to Terry, (their piano teacher) that everyone only does 1 song. We want to try and avoid the 2 hour children's recitals if we can. :)</div>

My mom bought tickets for all of us to go to a play (A Year with Frog and Toad) at UVU. After a long struggle involving a lot of unfortunate things we ended up being about 6 minutes late and they wouldn't let us into the play. Luckily they transfered our tickets to a day later in the week; but we were still pretty bummed. Since we had already paid for parking, we decided to explore UVU with all the kids. It was pretty darn fun. Here are the kids mesmerized by the giant pendulum that swings somehow in accordance with the earths rotation. It knocks over wooden pegs and the kids (and I) all squeal! </div>

Because Justin has "free time", we get to workout together a little bit here and there. It's super fun, he is the best. Also because of said "free time" I never have to find a baby sitter. Its AMAZING. I love it. And he is such a GOOD babysitter. I'm sure he will find a job soon and all my beautiful, free, perfect babysitter will be gone. You win some you loose some. :)</div>

So later in the week we went to that play my mom got us tickets for. The kids loved it and Calvin went up afterwards (no fear!!) and just started chatting with the character "Frog". I wish these pictures could accurately portray how cute it was. I was floored, and wanted to tell "Frog" how cute my kid was.</div>

We had our 11 year anniversary on the 17th. My mom generously took my kids for the night and the majority of the next day. We had a really good time, saw some movies and ate some good food and did some fun shopping.</div>

We love each other.</div>

Clear back on November 4th we celebrated Eli's 3rd birthday by going with the Gause's to a cute ice cream shop called Eli's. We got Team G shirts for the occasion, (Eli shirts). It was a fitting and cute way to remember Eli.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are some pictures Brooke sent me of the boys at Eli's funeral 3 years ago, they have grown so much!</div>

Calvin does not take naps anymore, and that has been so for quite a while. But the sleep depravation (because he certainly still NEEDS a nap) builds up and sometimes you catch him passed out on the ground. Or in the car. And it always effects his bedtime, sadly. I don't understand why, because he SO needs the sleep, but we can't seem to win with him and bedtime/naps. He is almost always in a constant state of sleep depravation. This and his general unwillingness to eat food generally lead to a very moody, whinny, cry-y Calvin. That has been the scene as of late...still just as cute as ever though. </div>

Sometimes, on beautiful rare occasions, I snuggle with ALL my kids on the couch. It's the best. Jaxton IS snuggling, he just <i>looks</i> a little distracted, mostly he is just stoked to be snuggling with me. :)</div>

Calvin wrote with pen on almost every inch of this couch. It's hard to tell from the pictures, but it's there!! He used a black pen, Justin and I were both shocked. It's not like Calvin to be so naughty, and he is 3 years old! So that was an unfortunate incident, but it was AMAZING how he got almost the hole couch in it's entirety. Very thorough. </div>

Our mortgage guy pays for all of us to go to Jakers and get pumpkins every year. It's always fun. It was extra fun to have Justin with us this year. :) I love watching what the kids do in this dried corn. I swear I could take pictures all day. It's so funny! :)</div>

I can't remember the exact day, but our neighbors little boy who is Calvin's age took off his training wheels and rode his 2-wheeler. When Calvin saw this, he asked us to get out his 2-wheeler and he wanted to show everyone that he could do it to. So he did. And then he had us put it away and hasn't wanted to do it since. Haha! I don't think he likes how edgy and dangerous it makes him feel. He wanted people to know he COULD do it if he wanted to. But he does not WANT to.</div>

Luckily, BECAUSE OF SAID NEIGHBORS, (TONS of perks from these neighbors!) my kids are no longer terrified of dogs! Jax has always been one that has tried to like dogs, always wanting to like dogs, but has had some sad confrontations with them. However, he warmed up to the neighbors dog, Tris, very quickly. Rod though, it has taken about 2 years. He has always been absolutly terrified of dogs. And then there is this monumental picture of him touching Tris!! Thank goodness for good neighbors! Calvin also doesn't not run screaming anymore when he sees Tris. So i'm a happy Mom. I don't like passing my fears onto my kids.</div>

We had an impromptu Halloween Party at my moms because Clarissa was down her with here boys for a day! It was so fun to get together, (as ALWAYS) and the kids in their costumes was a huge plus. There was so much sugar at this party. Jaxton had taken his money to Walmart with me and wanted to buy all the candy in the store for his cousins. I got him to narrow it down to sugar cookies, fruit snacks, and a big bag of taffy. It was SO sweet of him, he just wanted his cousins to have everything, but at the same time, lots of sugar!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also had brought cupcakes to decorate, so the kids were in heaven. </div>

Rodrik was set on being Robin, so he could have a big R on his chest and muscles; but when we couldn't find a good one he was a good sport and went with Batman, which was his second choice. He was the perfect Batman. It was so funny because when I saw him walking in the parade he was like throwing his arms up in a "what the heck" kind of manner, one side then the other side, then adding kicks and just fun aggressive body movements!! It was the best. I finally got his attention and he posed with his muscles. And then moved along do the same aggressive dance movements. And what I thought in my head was, "This kid has a lot of self confidence." And i'm glad.</div>

I got the picture below from a friend who was with Justin that night; apparently he was racing the boys from house to house. I also received a video of him sprinting across the street, as shown below, and then when he went to put the stroller back up on the sidewalk, (still at a brisk pace) he missed the right front wheel and totally dumped Calvin on the ground. It's the MOST hilarious video ever.</div>

I was able to get some of my medical insurance sorted out in such a way that I was able to go and get an ultrasound!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I've been wanting one (they don't do one until 12 weeks now??) to make sure everything is okay, and that the way I'm feeling is normal. Cause I HAVEN'T been feeling normal!! So I manipulated what I could and was able to get one! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are normal! What a relief. As far as we can tell. And everything looks good! As far as we can tell. So that is absolutly fantastic!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am just feeling very pregnant in many aspects of the word, and am only 8 weeks along. WHAT??? help... I think, perhaps, because this was so unexpected I don't remember things as well. Like I sealed off that part of my brain and now I'm suddenly back but that stuff is locked away. I haven't prepped my physique or my mind for the physical and emotional strain that is pregnancy. It's like everything is catching me off guard. And I tell people, and they say, "ya, cause you are PREGNANT." Oh...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
May the force be with me for the next 32 weeks....</div>

It's been a stressful couple weeks. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Among other big things, sweet Grama Wing is dealing with her cancer and we are trying to help when there just isn't much you can do. It's so hard to watch something like this. We were all unprepared, and so happy when she has good days.<br />
Justin lost his job a week ago. It's a good thing, he should have gotten out of there long ago. He didn't because he is too responsible, and too nervous to take risks when he is supporting a family. I'm relieved he is done with his old position and truly see this as a great opportunity for him to find something he enjoys with people who build him up, not tear him down. Because of his severance package, we have 8 weeks before we even feel any slight dent financially. We will be totally fine.<br />
HUGE NEWS: To my absolute shock, (like the shock of a lifetime.) I found out I was pregnant a couple days after Justin lost his job. We are just really shocked. And extremely stressed. But it's getting SO much better. The initial 3 days were pretty heavy, but I am in a way better place now. I'm very excited for this new life growing inside me. Even as I write it I'm shocked. It's like the shock never goes away. It just keeps coming in waves. But the feelings are a lot sweeter and less desperate and out of control. Mostly. This is just SUCH a big deal. SUCH a big deal. And it's happening. Right now, in my body, without my permission. But, like I said, it's really a sweet feeling that I feel sometimes, so it's very exciting; among other words. I could go on and on, saying the same things over and over about this that I say in my head ALL DAY LONG; but I think I'll stop now. Life is something.<br />
And BOTTOM LINE: babies are absolutly the most beautiful, special things, EVER. It's beyond incredible I can just be growing a precious little someone! It just really blows the mind.<br />
Anyway, BEFORE most of that went down. I got my hair done, and I love it. It makes me so happy. I love the color and I love the cut. </div>

On Monday night I was able to run over with my little fam and see Natasha and her kids before she left for St. George. Hurray!! Sweetie boy Shane uncharacteristically fell asleep in Natasha's arms. It was absolutly darling. And was preceded by some DARLING awake interactions as well!! </div>

Luckily we JUST moved Calvin to a big boy bed, (twin) on Tuesday. We knew to KEEP the crib at that point, unlike every other baby thing we gave away a year ago! Haha! Life is funny!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look how cute he is in that big bed!! I think it has helped him sleep a little longer in the morning...so that is a huge positive. </div>

We toyed with the idea of going somewhere (we wanted to go to Elko and visit the cousins!) for Fall break, but I couldn't get work off so we decided to stay home. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We have been having a really good time over fall break, doing a lot of fun stuff. It makes us feel like awesome parents, which is something we need right now, so you could say that is timely. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thursday we went to the Provo Rec with the Gause cousins, it was so much fun!! The kids love swimming so so so much. I always forget just how much they love it, because I don't. hehe! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Look at these cute pictures!!</div>

We went and saw Grama Wing yesterday (I didn't get pictures with her!! I have issues...) Anyway, it was so good to see her, she had a smile on her face and seemed to be in good spirits. She was watching a football game with Bob, so that probably had something to do with it. :) The kids loved trying to find apples in her tree.</div>

Continuing our "Fun Fall Break" weekend we went to Classic Skating with our neighbor friend, Kai, and it was a blast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And there was a situation there that intailed a child having severe diarrhea, like ALL OVER THE FLOOR. literally feet from where we were standing. GAG. And then we had to go in and play like nothing happened. Shutter. AND THEN I saw that SAME kid in playing on the bounce houses 15 minutes later! I swiftly tattle-taled to management that diareaha boy was on the loose (with his mother watching and not caring!!? Of course he had different pants on.. what the heck??) and I saved the immune health of the 50ish kids at the play place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You are welcome world.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Needless to say I wanted to dunk all the kids in Lysol when we left. The whole thing gives me the willies.</div>

At dinner Kai got all of us playing a singing game where we grade each other on our "real singing". I'll just say a lot of that "real singing" was filmed, it was darling. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kai likes Hawaiian pizza and dessert pizza.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jax likes to get cheese bread and pepperoni pizza, canned peaches, dessert pizza, and cheese bread again. (The only time in his LIFE he has been the one eating the most variety!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rod likes the noodles with balsamic vinegar, pepperoni pizza and frosted pizza cookies.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Calvin likes Cheese pizza only.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Justin likes the pizza with jalapeños on it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I like to complain to the manager about how they need to "supply pizza when they are a pizza buffet" and get 5 free meals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This next week might slow down..???</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Probably not. :)<br />I am 6 weeks pregnant.</div>

My mom and dad are SAINTS and took my oldest 2 boys camping at Capital Reef with the Haights!! I had to work so I couldn't go; and I think my boys had about 90% MORE fun because of my absence. They were (so I'm told) living off sugar, soda, and chips; and were able to eat and wear whatever they wanted, whether it was outing/weather appropriate or not. Rod played in a sand castle with white fleece footy pajamas. They had an AMAZING time.</div>

Cal and I also spent some quality time at the river. It was really fun until some ducks thought we might have food, and started to waddle pretty menacing in our direction! Calvin KNEW they were going to "get him"! It was really funny, but at the same time, I was kind of nervous; there was like 12 of them coming together, following us without any flinching. Calvin almost lost it, and we had to hurry to get away from them!</div>

This is so cute, These are pictures below are of Jaxton getting all emotional when he was telling me about his amazing camping weekend. All teary he said, "When I think about camping and about Max, I feel like I want to cry." It was SOOO cute!! I've never seen him do anything like that before--he must have had a REALLY good time. Props to the Haights! And my parents!! And Max!! :)</div>

We knew we needed to go see all the beautiful colors in the mountains, they are only like that for a short time in the fall. We got with our favorite neighbors and made the trek up to Big Springs Park. It was SO fun and SO pretty!!<br />
I have sooo many pictures because I went with Ashleigh who takes a billion pictures of everything and everyone all the time. I've got to admit, it's great to have so many pretty pictures to document our little hike!</div>

The two pictures above are cute!! Justin had just fell a dead tree, and Rod was being a lion. So was Calvin in the pictures above! It was this beautiful clearing and it had all this perfect "lion pretending" grass. Lot's of fun to be had in the mountains!</div>

Also, Jaxton plays the piano beautifully. His song for his recital is Clair de Lune, It's SO pretty. It's one of my favorite songs and I love to hear him play it.</div>

We got some yummy Thai food at this place that we thought looked really dodgy. I love that you can see Louisa's chipmunk cheek in the background. </div>

ALWAYS when Louisa eats she is AGGRESSIVE, and stores the bite immediately in her cheeks to be quickly chewed and swallowed. Or chewed and spit out. Usually she swallowed. :)</div>

My mom and I had SUCH a fun time at the HUGE, MASSIVE farmers market!! It had ALL the people with ALL the things, not just food! Everything.

We had this girl take a picture of us all in front of the most beautiful library, she didn't get any of the library, and a lot of the sidewalk. So Carter, with the help of Arianne took a much better one. :)</div>

Everyone was so brave. I didn't get in until we had already been there for a hour, un-cholorinated water isn't really my jam. But I finally did get in because they were all having so much fun and the kids were being so cute! :) I had to. :)</div>

These babies were so sweet. We loved all the snuggles they would give us. The best way to get snuggles is to give Louisa a phone. Preferably with Moana or Frozen songs playing, but that isn't a requirement; she will find them even if you don't have them going...! :)</div>

There were such cool store there!! I love to shop and Arianne obliged, she she did such a good job of taking us to such fun places! The shopping was really amazing, such variety of things at so many cool places, I loved it!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Other crazy thing--there are barely any kids there! We went to this "Cafe and Play" we were literally one of 3 families that showed up in an hour. In the entire huge FUN facility!! We had it all to ourselves! That's the way it was for most kids things! It couldn't be more different then Utah in that way.</div>

Jax started refusing to go on rides, we knew it would be a long sad night if he didn't start going on more. So we did "that thing." I had Justin drag him, and force him, kicking and screaming onto the ride, (blue ride pictured below) I'm sure people thought we were the worst. Or they just thought, "yep, that's what you do." Anyway, turns out, that was his favorite ride of the night. He did it again immediately after and from that point on was a LOT braver and had a lot of fun on a lot of rides. It was one of our few parenting wins...</div>

He is in the red shirt with Justin in the second to last car.</div>

Though Rod was brave and did a few scary rides, he didn't really like them. I feel like he must be more like me, I never have liked those butterfly in the stomach kind of rides. So he and Cal quickly became small ride buddies. This is Calvins favorite ride. The "Whale ride," Rod is giving him a big hug, contrary to what it looks like! :)</div>

Debbie and I were with the little boys and doing little rides when we happened upon a ferris wheel type ride that appeared to be going very slow. I got Calvin to go on it and we were both enjoying it very much. There was a nice lookout from the top --it went pretty high-- and we liked looking. I took these pictures with him because we were having such a good time. THEN, suddenly, we start MOVING, FAST. Calvin immediately starts screaming and so do I, I HATE rides like this. We are moving SO fast around and around this HUGE wheel, It was AWFUL. I was holding to Calvin so tightly and trying to reassure him through the zipping wind in our faces that "I am SO SORRY!!" Mommy's right here!" "the ride WILL stop! soon...!" I NEVER would even go on this ride by myself, much less with a terrified 3 year old. It was, seriously, the worst. I think Calvin was skeptical of EVERY ride we went on after that, unless it was obviously a baby ride. He wouldn't go on anything. And I wanted to go home. So that ride sucked. But here is some cute pictures of poor, ignorant us.</div>

Over Labor Day Justin took Jax and Rod to Moab with his Brother and his two oldest boys to go Razor riding. Our Razor broke down 1 minute into their first ride, so that was really sad. Luckily, their was a pool and other fun things back at the cabin! The boys loved it. Jason had to go home early because he was sick, so he left the razor that worked with Justin, so the boys and Justin got to go on a big ol' razor ride that last day. </div>

Meanwhile, I was at home with Calvin. I had to work all weekend. I wasn't expecting to have SUCH a great time. It really felt magical. Calvin and I had a great time. He had to come to my OTF meeting and this is what he did the whole time. How cute is he??? I was just wanting to wrap him up and kiss him!!</div>

And then we went to Costa Vida, (because I'm by myself--no need to cook!--and it sounded amazing! The things you can do without all your kids!? The mind reels!) and he actually went down the slide!! This is a breakthrough for him, he is usually terrified. The way he figured out he could actually go down, was to climb UP the slide first! Then he realized, if he could climb up, maybe coming down wouldn't be so bad. So my hesitant and careful boy now slides down slides!</div>

The second night I ate dinner and hung out with my family, it was so fun!! My Mom, Dad, Gabe, Jerica, and Isaac. We all just chatted and there was a lot of Calvin hand-holding. I LOVE watching that kind of thing from the back. It's so cute and endearing to me.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We ate a mediocure dinner at Gurus, went to the Latino Fair and had AMAZING Roll-up ice cream after. It was seriously such a great time. Aw, the thoughts make me smile. :)</div>

The third night I went over to my moms and we invited Hermana Eldridge over, from Chanels mission!! It was SO fun to hear stories about Chanel, and just all the things she is doing, or says, or EVERYTHING. It was so fun and we loved having her. We made Paplova in honor of Chanel. :)</div>

Below is one of my favorite pictures of Calvin brand new. It blows my mind. I probably could find the original picture but it would take too long. I just love this shot so much, his perfect skinny body is my favorite. I could stare at it all day. One of the big reason's I love it, is that the hands holding Calvin, (trying to comfort him) are Chanel's!! I love it so much, she is holding him so gently. Just like I would do if it was me. It's like I can see the love generating from her hands, she knows he is so, so special. I feel so much when I look at this picture. </div>

And then I henna'd my hair. Apparently henna doesn't work on the Judkins women. I didn't know that kind of thing was genetic. I treated it 3 times in 24 hours, it didn't go any darker then this:</div>

You can see the color chart on the left. The one at the end says "bleached hair," like it's supposed to got that gorgeous red color. NOPE. Oh, and once you put henna on your hair proffestional hair dye doesn't work as it should, so salons are very hesitant to work on it. I had to really beg to get them to do a hair consult, Luckily she said she might be able to get it to take some more color. So she tried, and got it to this copper red color, which I like a LOT better. And she cut my hair SO cute!! I should have taken a picture of the back.</div>

With the older two back in school, Cal and I get a lot of one on one time! And I'm super boring; luckily Natasha is NOT, and she invites us to come hang sometimes! This Raspberry patch was one of those times. They boys are SOOOO CUTE!! They LOVED this. Ollie actually ended up with a very full little bucket, used restraint to not eat the berries in his bucket so he could take them home. Calvin had 0 raspberries in his bucket and a bunch of raspberry smears, he used zero restraint and ate all berries in sight!! :)</div>

In other news, CAL IS POTTY TRAINED!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It took about a month of trying, including pull-ups every night; but I am confident enough that I would take him anywhere in underwear now!! My other two only took like 3 days to be potty trained, Cal took like a whole month. I never used pull-ups for them either, first time for everything--they were a life saver for Cal. I'm just stoked he is finally potty trained!! YAY CALVIN!!</div>

Sadly, I will never (personally) eat there again because I got food poisoning that woke me up that night at midnight!! It was awful! And I had to work that morning, yuck. That was a bad memory...</div>

I made tarts for Jerica's birthday! They were so cute!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wasn't able to taste them because of my food bug from the nasty Chuck place!! I couldn't eat a darn thing! The horror!! :) I had to wait till the next day--and, luckily, it turned out really good! It is so satisfying when I make something delicious that actually works out and look pretty! </div>

Rod and Calvin got a bee in their bonnet about dressing up. They thought they look amazing. Which they do, but PLEASE note how small that power ranger costume is on Rod!! I was dying, trying not to laugh, it was so funny!!</div>

His poor crotch area was an issue. But he didn't even care!! He wanted me to take the picture of him from the side, that was his request!! :) I couldn't even deal with the cuteness!! :)</div>

We did an end of summer campout with the Gause family! We went up to the area right by Bear River Lodge. I have to say, I was not very excited; I do NOT enjoy camping. But I decided to suck it up for all my boys, because they LOVE camping.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And honestly, it was probably the very best camping experience that we have ever had since having children. There was a lot of factors at play here making it great. Among these are that my youngest was almost 3! The campground was really fantastic, minimal bugs, and there was a little tiny creek that ran through the camp right by our tent. The ambient noise of the stream was amazing at night; the kids slept really well. Happy camping is in high correlation to sleep amounts. Whatever the reasons, it was a great trip. The kids can't wait to go back next year.</div>

How cute are all these cousins!! They had a blast together!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The first night and first day it was just us and Jason and his oldest 3 kids. The kids all got whistles curtesy of Brooke and they LOVED them. They ran around with them and held them in the air yelling, "I HAVE THE POWER OF DISIRE!!" or "DO YOU HAVE THE POWER OF DISERE??" or "GET THE POWER OF DISIRE!!" It was as hilarious as it sounds. I was dyeing, and they were dead serious.<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ah55u6XRnY/WZ4MsDSs2fI/AAAAAAAAL1A/N4rzDnOwJ20qxVkR8nqjr1ysuR9py7NiQCEwYBhgL/s1600/IMG_7036.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-9ah55u6XRnY/WZ4MsDSs2fI/AAAAAAAAL1A/N4rzDnOwJ20qxVkR8nqjr1ysuR9py7NiQCEwYBhgL/s640/IMG_7036.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>

Jaxton had 2 main focuses while camping. The ax, and the fire. Here he is with the ax. The axe was such a hot item for all the kids, Jax took it to another level. He couldn't stop. Unless there was fire. Then he couldn't stop throwing things in the fire. Ever. He is a cutie.</div>

And then, our our ride, we got to this spot were there were SO MANY dead trees! As far as you could see! We wondered if it was a disease or beetles that had wiped them all out. It was super sad and look CRAZY. But you could see these little baby trees coming up out of the ground. So that was cute.</div>

After we picked up camp we went on our final Razor/4-wheeling ride; this time with two extra adults and their 4-wheelers. The kids loved taking turns with all the different vehicles and adults. Except Jax, who only wanted to be with Grampa Gause. Apparently there was a little supervised underage driving going on; Jax LOVED it. 4-wheeling with Grampa was his favorite part of the trip. :)</div>

In this beautiful spot there were MORE ROCKS! And water!! We stayed here to eat lunch and then kids went immediately to the water and started throwing rocks. We had "skipping" contests. Jax, Jason, and Jusin seemed to be the clear winners, and not just because their names all begin with "J". If I remember right they were up in the 20's for rocks skipping on the water!! It was nuts!!</div>

This is my last picture from the trip. It was at the summit of one of the mountains or hills, I can't remember--but it was pretty high. It was super beautiful and pretty chilly. It was nice of Debbie to snap a picture of us, here is my proof I was there! After this I swapped the razor for a 4-wheeler. That was an interesting switch. And Calvin rode back with Debbie in the Razor and had a great time.</div>

We packed up and were driving home; we had gone 10 feet, and Jaxton said, "I want to do that again!!" Like the whole camping, 4-wheeling, all of it... So I think it was a success. :)</div>

There was a bubble station that was also a lot of fun for the kids. They liked to chase and they liked to blow. Blowing was probably the favorite though.</div>

This was MY favorite part. They had a green screen and, after a small agument, the boys chose the land of the dinosaurs! They had little props you could use for fun. After the picture Rod said, "I just knew this red cowboy hat would come in handy!" :)</div>

Natasha and Steve went to Hawaii with Jerica and Gabe!! We were all so glad for them!! If there is anyone that needed a vacation, it's Natasha. My amazing mom watched her kids while they were gone. Our original plan of just having the kids play together the whole time their parents were gone, flopped, because my kids started school so early, the tuesday after the Sunday Tash left! AND we had a Gause camp-out that got planned that Thursday-Saturday.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But we WERE able to get them together that first full Monday, We went to the pool at Grama Judkins. Isaac had just gotten back from selling in Des Moines, Iowa, so he and Sami came with us!! It really made it so much more fun!! And so much easier for me and my mom! Calvin LOVED Sami holding him.</div>

This is how it was a lot, (most everyone on one side) because it's a deep pool...the closest 4 feet is the shallowest, so it was the hang out for most of the littles. :)</div>

I'm excited for my kids to start school!! I love them SOOO much but it was definitely time! This has been a long crazy summer! This mom had had it with the fighting, whining and not listening!! Summer was pretty hard for me! I'm glad we were able to do so many fun things though. I think we have some really good memories. But golly, these cute kids give me a run for my money! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love their school and they have such good teachers, we are so lucky. Jax is in his 3rd year of Portuguese immersion, and Rod is just starting his 1st year. I am so pleased that they have that opportunity!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lucky little American boys. :)</div>

The dentist is always fun, Jaxton and Calvins teeth are always perfect. Poor Rod has some issues with a very small mouth, huge teeth, and for some reason, (the dentist thinks is possible it's from all the ear infections he had as a child,) a portion of his permanent teeth are growing in without strong enamel. They are varying dull orange and yellow colors depending on the severity. Apparently when those particular teeth were forming they didn't have all they needed to form right. :( So they will be more brittle and have problems, and be yellow. So we got some $20 tooth paste and are hoping for the best as his two huge front teeth come in...we are hoping neither of those two have been affected.</div>

The Judkins family reunion was a pleasure. We LOVE spending time with family, it was a darn shame that we were missing 3 siblings, we sure felt their absence, but managed to have a really great time anyway. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There was a community pool close to the house, and though it was usually windy and NOT hot, we spent the majority of our time here. The kids didn't really care that they froze to death.</div>

Calvin played with whoever would hold him, Steve was really nice and in the freezing pool, let Cal jump to him a billion times, splashing water right in his face every time. He was Cal's hero. Zach also did this quite a bit. I think everyone got a turn... :)</div>

Here are some pictures of the house, for my siblings that weren't here and are curious. It was a beautiful house. Very rich people own it and have furnished it with very high quality, beautiful things. It was a little nerve wracking to have all the kids in there...!</div>

We all partook of AMAZING food. I love when everyone is in charge of a meal, then you get a little peak inside their food soul. There is such good food in their soul...! :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite part of the entire reunion would probably be the times the adults were all together, after we put the kids in bed, and we just sat and talked and told stories and laughed our heads off. It was so good to catch-up in that way, normally we have kids around or someone is on a phone or not everyone is present. Just so many variables in life--we don't get those moments often. That was definitely the funnest times for me... Also the food... And the cute cousin time...!</div>

We can't wait to do this next year! I am excited for the very real possibility of at least 2 more siblings being able to be in attendance!</div>

The second full day we were at Three Rivers my awesome dad went out early and scouted a place in that crazy beautiful river that had little pools where the current wasn't very swift at all! It's like he just knew there was a place, somewhere, amongst all this river, that we could swim in in the 100 degree heat. It was like the river was taunting us, luckily, my dad saved the day and we had an absolute BLAST playing in this river!! The water was crystal clear, but not freezing, there weren't any bugs or nasty moss or spiders, the rocks were smooth except where there was sand, it was SO great!! It was about 4 feet deep in some areas and the kids loved to jump in, it was really the best! I even loved it, and I never love swimming in nature. My boys were in HEAVEN. Except Cal, he was NOT happy 80% of the time, he was terrified, but mystified. He wanted to get in, but he didn't. In the same breath.</div>

We found a current that ran down the edge of one of the pools, the boys loved to "slide" down it. The amount of excited squeals, laughter, and smiling was paramount.</div>

Sadly Justin didn't think he was going to want to get in the river so he didn't bring his swim shorts with him, and he didn't want to get the ones he was wearing wet. But that made it so we got some fantastic pictures!</div>

I told Jaxton to "pose" for a picture, I don't know what he is doing, but it is so darling. Rod found this big rock, that was the final game (as it seems to always be) at the river--who could throw in the biggest rock. Grampa won. </div>

Later that morning we left to go to the closest public pool, it was about 30 minutes away, on a freeway! So much better then windy switch-backs for 50 minutes!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pool was actually a High School Pool that they opened from noon to 3pm for public use. And boy did they have rules. It was INSANE. I was walking in there with Calvin, my 2 yr old and some puddle jumpers (floaties). They quickly told me that puddle jumpers, nor any floatation device of any kind is allowed in their pool. I was appalled saying I had a 2 year old that couldn't reach in the 3 1/2 ft! (3 1/2ft is were their pool started, and it quickly moved to 5 feet and then to 18 feet at the other side of the pool with the diving boards. So it was a deep pool.) Anyway, they said the floaties were "dangerous" because kids get accustomed to wearing them and then drown when they don't have them. hm.. I see your point, but he is 2, in my opinion it's dangerous to NOT have floaties at this point in his life.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Those life gaurds blew their whistles more than any other pool I have ever been to, "DON'T RUN!!" "WALK" "DON'T TOUCH THAT" "GET HIM OFF YOUR BACK!!"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
That last one was yelled repeatedly while crazed whistling was occurring at my trouble making MOTHER (53yrs old) when she had Calvin on her back. "He will choke you!" What??? "Or he will fall off and drown without you knowing!" Seriously?? We could only hold Calvin a certain way, in front of us, for all of us to not die in that pool. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They had to ask Justin (32yrs old) to stop holding his breath for such long periods of time, (he was timing himself to see how long he could go) because it "looked like he might be passing out under the water". Okay...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The pool was still so refreshing and just what we needed in that blistering heat, despite the crazed lifeguards and management. Jaxton had an absolute blast going off the diving board almost the whole entire time. AND Rod swam a FULL lap in the pool without ANY help and without ANY swim lesson's ever!!! I was so proud of the self taught super-boy!! So that is another huge positive!! That is 2 boys down, 1 to go. And Calvin has a LONG way to go...! He is not as into the water as my other two. He was more then happy to be held, front ways, by adults the entire swim session.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the way home we stopped by this amazing Mexican/Spanish ice cream place. The dude made all his own ice-cream!! It was delish and definitely a highlight. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mom made amazing sphegetti that night and we watched the British Baking show. That was all super wonderful. We were all charged up to make the long awful journey back to the Sequoias the next day for our final assent.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We got $18 tickets (PER PERSON) to go to Crystal Caves. Unbeknownst to us, this adds another 30 minutes of switch backs AFTER the first set. We had an exact time we had to be there and we somehow made it. It took about an hour and a half. Yuck. We listened to "My Dad is Fat" in the car and that helped.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here are some pictures from the expensive cave at the cost of an hour of extra switch-backs. Woot!</div>

It was amazingly cool in tempurature in that cave. That was a really neat aspect. It was a cool cave. But it wasn't THAT cool. I would never do it again. Even so, it is so popular, that park must be making BANK off all these crazy tourists ready to pay top dollar to see a cave.</div>

After about 50 minutes we came out of the cave and were able to hang out at the waterfall that was nearby. That was VERY pretty. And free, and I didn't have to drive any switchbacks. Awesome.</div>

I LOVE these pictures of Cal and my dad. It was such a cute sequence. Cal wanted an picture with my dad specifically, and so my dad obliged. I told them to smile and Cal just smiles at my dad, my dad finally realizes and then smiles at Cal, then Cal turns to the camera while my dad is still smiling at him, and then they both finally get both eyes forward. They are pretty cute together.</div>

We drove the 30 min. of switchbacks BACK to the place where we can park our car and look at the Sequioas. Today we were going to go on the Big Trees Trail. That trail did NOT disappoint!! You will be able to see from the pictures how amazing everything is, but you really can't know, it's so much grander in person--the pictures do not do justice at all. But they are still cool and my kids are darn cute. So are my parents...! :)</div>

There are quite a few fallen trees around, and sometimes there is a fallen redwood. And THAT is fun. Because then you can climb all over it's HUGE, TALL trunk! That is what we are doing in these pictures. It was awesome.</div>

You might need to zoom on these pictures to see everyone in the different pictures. This was a giant boulder, (rocks, BIG rocks, were EVERYWHERE in this part of the world!) The boulder had fallen into the huge Sequoia, but the sequoia is just growing around it, unfazed. You will see how big it is when the people get on top of the boulder. Zoom in, every picture has people in it.</div>

We left Three Rivers the next day, but not before eating extremely over-priced, very mediocre food at a place called Ol' Buckaroo. I wish that didn't happen. ANYWAY, we decided to stay in St. George with my parents instead of driving all the way through. I'm so glad we did. We ate amazing food at Viva Chicken got the kids pizza and we played in the heated pools until bedtime!! And then we did it again in the morning! A win for everyone!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, how good looking are my parents?? I made them take this picture because I wanted them to see how amazing they look at 53 & 56. Seriously?!</div>

The Vacation:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think everyone had a pretty good time.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Because I planned the whole thing and had some preconceived notions in my head with certain expectations I was somewhat disappointed with the whole trip, but I think we managed to make it all work out. It wasn't a bad trip at all, it just was different then what I had thought it would be, and that's okay. We made some really good memories and saw some really amazing things. Also, I only have pictures of the good things, so that might be all anyone remembers.</div>

Clear back on the 16th of July we did a little family party for my birthday and though we were small in numbers, I felt the LOVE!! :) Mairee made me a darling card, she drew me as a mermaid with long hair and a pink tira! Hazel scoured her house for some pretty amazing gifts. Natasha gave me some amazing cocoa and heaven sent oil for my brittle, dry, hair and skin. I only have pictures with Hazel, the darling sweetie...!!</div>

While Zach and Clarissa where in EUROPE !!!(SO WERE GABE AND JERICA!!) My Mom watched their kids off and on. It was fun to get the boys together to play! I have TONS of pictures of the boys, shirtless, because they all looked so cute together and they have such different personalities and different cute body types. Picture overload!! </div>

Grandma and Grandpa Judkins invited all of us to go to their pool while my mom had Porter and Eli. That was a treat! It was a deep pool but with floaties on everyone we were able to make it work and all the kids had a really fun time; especially the older ones! Porter LOVED the water. Calvin did NOT. Porter wanted to drown half the time, he didn't even care, he WANTED his face to go under the water. Calvin did NOT. It was a funny contrast.</div>

I was finally the day to go on our family vacation to the Sequoias!! The kids were beyond excited. We gave them all an entire bag of chips for the occasion, i think that is what they were most excited about...!! :) Jaxton ate his entire bag before we got to Las Vegas. And he is never worse for wear! He feels fine, and probably would have eaten more if the bag was bigger! Rod is the self control king, he would eat a few and then save the rest for another hour, then eat a few. They are so different! </div>

We took the kids to get icee creams at Kilo's to cool off. They were a little rowdy (almost knocking over tables and flicking ice cream) and they didn't love the icee creams like Justin and I did. But I got a picture of everyone on their best behavior.</div>

The 2nd stop of our trip was our Hotel in Las Vegas. It was great, the greatest thing about it was the POOL! My kids swam off 6 hours of being in the car, it was perfect. They LOVE swimming, and Calvin is getting there...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
AND swimming with Dad is the BEST.</div>

We made it to our lovely house in Three Rivers, (one of the more ugly places I've ever been to) the next day and there was this gigantic pine cone--a precursor for what was coming the following day at the Sequoia State Park! I thought it was a sequoia pine cone, because it was huge, but turns out sequoia pine cones are tiny! This huge pine cone belonged to the normal (but still big) pine trees.</div>

Soon after we arrived we discovered that Justin and I had absolutely no reception on our phones. Like we couldn't even send a text message. We talked to some locals and apparently you need At&t or Verizon. Darn. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While we were waiting for my mom and dad to arrive, we went to the SMALL local store and the kids found a rock that reminded them of "Alex the Lion" from Madagascar. So they thought it was hilarious to pretend to be him. I loved it. </div>

The next morning began as every morning on this vacation would. The boys playing video games in bed. It was so happy for them, and we were on vacation, so we let it happen. My mom and Dad usually beat us in waking up and were so helpful with the boys.</div>

We got all ready and decided to go up and check out the Sequoias! We were only 5 windy miles away from the entrance to the Park. What we didn't realize was that it was an extra 50 minutes up an awfully windy road to even lay your eyes on a sequoia tree! Until then, the same ugly landscaping as the valley! Geeze, I wish we had known that earlier. Also, it was $30 to just get IN to the park! So on our LONG way up that darn mountain road of car-sickness we made a couple stops to break it up. Our first stop was at one of the rivers, there are 3 rivers (the town's name sake) and I guess they merge and flow their own ways, but are VERY dangerous. They are beautiful and very tempting to get in and close to because they have rock all around them and they are just so clean and smooth. However I guess they flow faster, and are deeper then they look. They had warnings everywhere:</div>

It made you nervous to be there with your kids. So that was kind of a bummer because my kids love rivers and throwing rocks in rivers, but these were rivers you couldn't play by. We went down to look but very cautiously. Jax and Rod were very nervous. So was I, but it was so pretty. The landscape was so ugly, but the rivers--just beautiful.</div>

Another stop we made was to look at the huge rock mountain. People were actually on the top of it!! We saw them through my dad binoculars! There was a railing, but there were definently people on there! It was a hike they had busses help you get to, Mom and Justin wanted to go, but I was against the idea, because I wanted what was left of my sanity to stay...!</div>

We FINALLY made it up to the parking lot of the Big Trees! Geeze. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are a lot of large rocks in the landscape there and everyone loved to climb them! This one was in the parking lot.</div>

In these pictures below we are pointing to the General Sherman Tree in the distance. It is HUGE. But honestly, all the sequoias are huge. Click and zoom on the picture to see the actual people that are standing right below it. that will help with understanding the scale.</div>

So the next day, instead of going back to the park as we planned originally, we did some extra fun stuff, it was more of a swimming day; but we had to get creative. Also of note was the AMAZING meal we got at "Sierra Salads and Subs" that night! I will dream about the salad I got for years to come, also the greek quesadilla, and the sandwiches...Dear me, we should have eaten every meal there. Sadly, no pictures of the amazing food. But, more pictures to come!</div>

Earlier that morning Debbie was so kind (as she is so often!) to come and watch our kids in the morning while I was at work so that Justin could go to some "men" church meetings. This is what my kids do when a show is on. They notice nothing else except the TV. Debbie said she was even saying their names...!! Haha!!</div>

The next day, Monday, was the first day of "Sampler Sports Camp" at the Rec Center. We drop the boys off (9:30am-noon) Monday-Friday and they learn to play different sports. Ashleigh dropped the boys off for their first day and this is the picture she sent me! Haha!! Those boys, she said it seemed like Rod was on some sort of sugar high or something... :)</div>

On Wednesday we went to Lehi Fun Center; and boy was it hot. Luckily it was slightly overcast, but seriously, it was muggy and hot. The kids had an absolute blast though; only good memories for them! My main memory is the heat, getting shockingly soaked on the boat ride, and screaming kids when we left...! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is some happy pictures of none of that.</div>

Rod riding the Go-Carts was the best. He waited and waited, and FINALLY was able to go! It was a dream come true for him and he loved every second! He was able to go 3 times and it was his favorite. He was amazingly in control and very aggressive, I was very impressed by his 6 yr. old driving abilities!!</div>

And then my sweet Justin took me to SLC Friday to Saturday! We ate out, we went shopping, we hot tubbed, we did the Little America Breakfast (GEEZE, I LOVE that one) and we saw the new Spider Man movie, it was SUCH a GOOD TIME!!! I have zero pictures. :( I DO have pictures of the Kouign Amann pastry we got...because I HAD to show Chanel, those LAYERS!! It blows the mind. It made me really happy.</div>

Before we went to Steel Days we rushed over to my mom's for a Judkins family party! Sharee was in town from Arizona so it was extra special! And again, I didn't get pictures!! Dang it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then we rushed over to Steel days with Debbie and Preston. We have a LOT of pictures of this, the kids had a BLAST, so many fun things for them to do!!</div>

Also, pictures of my boys as they wait in line are so funny! They cannot keep their hands off each other! There was no crying involved but a lot of rough physical contact. These boys need each other...most of the time... :)</div>

The Saturday after the 4th Justin finished the amazing pergola!! It is one of the highlights of the summer to have that thing done!! Having some shade in the backyard is such a gift, Justin is the best. It was SUCH a hot day when he was doing this, and the boards were burning his knees and he was just dripping. But he would NOT take a break. He wanted it the heck done. Luckily he was safe and it all worked, and Justin was just dehydrated the rest of the day...! :) </div>

And we are at the night of the 4th of July! We did sparklers and small fireworks at Natasha's house, the kids had a blast!! Her neighbor had spent like a $grand$ on fireworks so we were able to just sit back and watch their firework show, it was so great!! Best of both worlds!!</div>

Earlier that day we went with my parents and Natasha's family to Cars 3; that was really a fun movie and a really timely, fun thing to do on the 4th in an air-conditioned space.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before the movie we were hanging out with Grama Wing for a little family lunch at her house. It was extra special because we had ALL Grama Wing's grandkids there at one time! That hasn't happened in like 4 years or more! So we had to get a photo. It is SO hard to get all the darn kids looking and smiling at the same time!! But they are cute pictures none the less.</div>

And here we are at the morning of the 4th! We rode our bikes to the parade, (always the best idea!) And then got our usual spot thanks to Debbie and Grama Wing!! It is always fun to go to the parade and the kids just love it!! I love how festive it is and I love being with family. Also, the bag-pipes are way cool. :)</div>

It was fun because we left on our bikes in the morning and then my parents caught up to us halfway down 800 N. So it was fun to ride with them. Poor Roddy took a pretty nasty spill when he ran right into a garbage can on the way to the parade! It was nice to have a couple extra adults to ride with him.</div>

We also went to the circus with my parents and the Rogers. It was a strange, sad, and amazing kind of thing. Emphasis on strange. And boy, did they want your money!! The prices of things were astronomical!! Cotten candy was $12! To ride the elephant was $80! They had the most bizarre music playing the whole time, like pretty creepy. And those poor workers, and the animals... They seemed to treat them really well, but it just left me with a lot of questions, and i'm pretty sure I don't ever need to go to another one. People are super talented though, that was definitely one of the take-aways.</div>

This summer has been the hardest summer to date as far as the kids, their behavior, and their listening skills. They all suddenly love to fight all the time, and are not super nice to each other super often. I''m hoping the Vacation we go on at the end of this month will help put a positive spin on summer and endear the kids to each other a little more. Or not. Parenting is hard.</div>

For Max's birthday we all went to Lowe's Extreme Sports. It was really fun for everyone except Rod. He couldn't get over not being able to go in the "big kid section". But there were plenty of fun things to do for the little kids! As shown below in these cute picts of the whinny kid. :)</div>

Max had a birthday too!! It was so fun to celebrate with him! We played an epic basketball game. It was a blast. I think I continully shock people at how awful I am at basketball. I think people assume because I'm athletic that I can play basketball. That is a VERY poor assumption...! :) I was definitely the weak link!</div>

There was a lot of awfulness with Seven Peaks and so we went to the brand new Bluff dale splash pad one day instead. It was a MAD HOUSE. It was really a cool, </div>
fun place but WAY to crowded--like 300 people crowded!!<br />

I was looking at Calvin as he was sitting, eating an apple (totally against the rules, btw, he never gets to eat in the living room!) and he just looked SO CUTE to me. I loved his posture, the way he was eating. His messy hair, his huge head, and his skin. His shorts. I was just taken back and had to get some pictures. Per their normal, the pictures just don't do it justice...He is so beautiful to me.</div>

We also went to Seven Peaks with Natasha's family and my mom! It was GREAT! As always. Calvin though seems to be getting more and more afraid each time we go... THAT is not great. He is perfectly happy to sit on the chairs and watch. It's kinda sad because I know he would love it if he just let loose a little. We are going to keep going and I hope more exposure will help him feel more comfortable. The wave pool is what he is most scared of. TERRIFIED of.</div>

As promised, the work Justin has done on our impending BEAUTIFUL pergola!! We are so excited! The wood is going to be stained that light white color. He has already attached the first big board that everything else is going to stem off of! It was a big job!</div>

Here is our garden that Justin planted and I picked out the plants. You can't see all of them.. we scaled it down from our earlier years because the plants always get huge and unmanageable. </div>

Jaxton has been WAITING and WAITING to be able to mow my mom's lawn. We think he is finally big enough. She will sweetly pay $20 to whichever grandson does, and this kid loves money almost as much as he loves spending it! He was so proud, and it was hard work!! I loved watching him work hard and finish. He quickly found his $20 on the magnet board and then decided to do Rod's $5 job of water her plants as well. Rod was not interested after he realized it was "Hot out there!" </div>

My other friend, Eve, had a birthday so a bunch of us went to GetOut Games. It was pretty darn fun. But, sadly, Justin and I were on a team together and our team lost...! The people on the left were all on a team agains the people on the right. But we got delicious ice cream after. So, all was forgotten. :)</div>

These cute kids! Rod is holding a rainbow fidget spinner, (he made me take this picture and send it to my niece Katelyn because she babysat the night before and he wasn't able to show her then. He just KNEW she was wanting to see it!) and Jax made a "human" out of their Kinex. :)</div>

Isaac came down for the weekend! So, we all got together on Sunday evening at a nice little park in Springville Canyon. The kids had so much fun at the little river! The adults played spike ball and watched said kids. It's always so nice to get together with everyone! Such a special treat when we get to hang with any of my family that isn't local! Also, local family is AWESOME!! :)</div>

School is finishing!! Jax brought home a bunch of projects. This one is a cute one so I took a picture. He also has some "books" he has been working on. They are called "Privacy's at school and ...." He finishes it with whatever the book is about. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The most complete one, and the one he has spent the most time on is called "Privacy's at School and Changing the Snack Board." The two main characters change the lunch board menu to "Boogers" instead of "Burgers". That happens early on, (the first page.) Next, the boys use a magical spray bottle (called "Pick your nose spray and pants a little bit down") on their Principle. You can guess what happens next. The story continues as the boys give a poop sandwich to a kid at lunch, he throws up very graphically after he eats it. The kid is rightly upset and chases them. He runs into a pole and gets knocked out. Then something happens where two frowny face guys are chasing the main characters, so the main characters again procure a magical spray. This time it is "Naked Sprae" So as you might imagine, when they spray the kids, the kids turn naked. Again, very graphically. Then they go around and spray a lot more people at school. The spray has the same effect on all of them. After school they "Cant believe we did that!" And they went to buy MORE spray at the store. It's 15 pages long. Anyway, Jax is pretty proud.</div>

Rod rode Jaxton's bike because his broke; we realized he is the right size for a bigger bike, and since his broke we thought it was the perfect last minute birthday gift. Here is a picture of Rod on Jaxton's bike.</div>

Rod was SO excited for his cake. I think I blew his mind. It felt wonderful. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Though he was very opinionated about his cake and his ice cream, he had none at his party! He even disappeared for like an hour playing inside with Ollie while everyone was outside! But he was SO SWEET and SO PLEASANT and POLITE, so it didn't really matter. :)</div>

Rod LOVED, ALL his presents. He was so excited and happy about everything! He said "I always wanted ....!!" About everything he opened. And he genuinely meant it. It was so much fun for me to watch!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I LOVE how supportive my family and Justin's family is. Rod definitely feels VERY secure and very loved. What more can you ask for?? I love it.</div>

Jaxton had his Portuguese program on Thursday night. It was something, he enjoyed hiding behind the people in front of him and playing with the friend next to him, this made it really hard to see him 80% of the time. But I got this cute picture!!</div>

Jaxton had one part in the show. Holding this weird laminated paper during a song. 97% of the song his face was just like the picture on the right, somehow my friend, Ashleigh, caught the one time he smiled on camera, the picture on the left!! yay! But his eyes are closed, he still looks darling--though he never sang. Not going to lie, it was a very confusing 3 minutes. All the other kids had dancing parts except these boys that held this paper during this song--I think it must have been all the kids that didn't volunteer for anything else. It was so weird. Though it was a weird program, I LOVE having my kids in Portuguese at school--it's the best!! I have loved my kids school and their teachers.</div>

Jaxton has finally gotten over the initial scare with his drone. He LOVES playing with it now and does it as often as he can. I love his smiles in these pictures. It's fun to watch him fly it! Drones are so cool!</div>

Calvin had a checkup! Our doctor is so nice; she gives the kids books every time they have a checkup. Rod was so sweetly reading Calvins book--which Calvin promptly took when he noticed--she gave Rod a book too. Rod is a GREAT reader. I LOVE watching him read, he makes me so proud. He is SO CUTE.</div>

Calvin is 95% for height and 86% for weight! He is so tall--but his weight surprised me! He is so weird about food; we are taking him in to a specialist to get him tested for food aversion next week. We will see if anything comes of that--if nothing else maybe they can give us some good tips on how to deal with his food oddities. </div>

Rodrik was asking me questions and wanting me to literally "guess" the answer. Like "Guess what I'm thinking." And I would say, "what?" and he would say, "guess!" and give me this look. It was SO cute!! I loved the face he kept making. He thought he was so clever!! I love him.</div>

Hazel had a birthday on Saturday!! It was so much fun! I love that girl! She had Sami's dog come over for the party, Hazel LOVES dogs! That dog was definitely the highlight for most of the kids. It was this terrified love that was hilarious to watch! They couldn't stop trying to interact with the dog, but were all so jumpy whenever the dog moved or was too close to them. It was SO CUTE!! They couldn't stop, but they were so scared, but they loved it. It was so funny.</div>

We went to the Gause family dinner on Sunday night! Justin made delicious waffles for dinner for all the mom's as a late mothers day. It was so yummy!! I wish I had gotten pictures!! I'll have to get pictures next we are at the Gause's! I want a picture of Justin with his mom. He made the waffles for her specifically. Love it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I must say the highlight had to be Zane, hands down!! That little guy is SOOO CUTE!! I've SO enjoyed holding and snuggling him. It's just too much cuteness and wonderfulness!! He makes everyone so happy!!</div>

Jaxton's Birthday was on Mothers Day this year; so we celebrated on Saturday. He wanted waffles and whipping cream with berries. I love that too and work Sunday mornings; SO, the amazing Justin made me a Mothers Day breakfast, and Jax a Birthday breakfast all in one! It was so delicious!! I love Justin!!</div>

Jax has been SO excited for his Birthday, and this is one of the HUGE reasons why. He can play games as much as he wants...! So this was him for quite a while on his birthday, just to document. :) </div>

Jax got a drone for his birthday! AND not shown, his other birthday request; a big bag of fiery hot Taki's!! This boy loves them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xTePTnd8B6c/WRiz1O8z7ZI/AAAAAAAAKR8/8r129AMTcvIfGQ3Nd7ra41OJ2G7CFQh6ACLcB/s1600/IMG_3693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-xTePTnd8B6c/WRiz1O8z7ZI/AAAAAAAAKR8/8r129AMTcvIfGQ3Nd7ra41OJ2G7CFQh6ACLcB/s320/IMG_3693.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Crazy story: He tried to fly the drone inside and it just went into the wall; so we had him take it outside. We all go out there in the backyard and he gets it to lift up off the ground, and in about 10 seconds flat it lifts up, higher and higher, and then starts rocketing East, (which was the way the wind was blowing,) farther and farther, Justin and I saying 'Stop, stop! STOP!" But either Jax doesn't know how, or chooses not to. And it flies out of sight about 200 feet into the swamp. And we are just standing on our porch in disbelief. All of us. And Justin says "Well, Happy Birthday Jax." And Rod starts bawling, "Doesn't he have any other presents??" And runs inside to cry and cry. Jax is silent. He doesn't ever show much emotion or say many words, especially if he is uncomfortable, or if he feels bad...We all kind of assumed the drone was gone forever, but I had Justin go look for it anyway. And because Justin is the best, look for it he did. He went tromping through the swamp like a amazing hero and miraculously found the drone!! Inches from water-which would have ruined it! So needless to say we haven't even gotten it back out since then; we are going to need to teach Jax to use it in a more controlled environment before he can use it outside again. It was a super crazy experience.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: center;"> Jax really wanted to go play Laser Tag for his birthday with Natasha's family, so we went to Seven Peaks Fun Center in Lehi! It was fun but freezing, and as usual, a ton of the attractions were shut down; and I only got 2 pictures...Jax was able to play 3 rounds of Laser Tag with his Dad and Cousins! Yay!</span></div>

Per Jaxton's request we had turkey and cheese sandwiches, strawberries, and Doritos for Lunch. And then Little Ceasers Pizza and breadsticks for Dinner. Also Fanta, Root Beer, and Sprite for Dinner and his party, which was later that night. Also, for his party, he also wanted Rainbow Sherbet, and Mint Chocolate Chip ice cream. I probably could have guessed most of his choices. He LOVES soda, sugar, chips, and sugar. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone that could, came over later for his birthday party. I spent a ton of time working on this particular cake Jax wanted. He ended up loving it though it was far simpler then the original he saw online. He was so sweet about it.</div>

Jaxton's main request at his birthday party is that we play kickball! So we DID play!! It was great! Hopefully it fulfilled his dreams. We missed a few family members that were out of town or busy, but it was still a really good time!! </div>

To celebrate Ashleigh, I got some friends together and went to eat and to a comedy show. Crazily, at the comedy show, I had to go on stage and do the weirdest unspecified things ever. It was SO weird, and crazy, and HALRIOUS. It was SO out of my element. I had to come off that adrenaline rush for like 2 hours after. I don't think I will ever do anything like that again! Luckily, all my friends were there and they thought it was the best part of the show. So, glad to be of service. :)</div>

I love the bond between Ollie and Rod. They warm my heart. Rod shared his explorer gear with Ollie and they explored together. They ALWAYS get along so well. Cal always wishes he could be part of their club, but it doesn't work out like that. Ollie and Cal play good together, and Rod and Ollie play good together, but all 3 of them doesn't quite work out as well. Oh well. We love this pair.</div>

Jax had his last game of the season; apparently he scored an amazing goal!! He grew a lot this season, and his last game was his best. I'm bummed because I was only able to watch him a few times as his games where on Tuesday nights, which is when I work. I love that he has so much fun playing sports; so much fun playing anything really! He is a fun kid!</div>

This is one of my favorite pictures; ever. I kind of want to frame it and put it in my house. I love it so much! Thank you Mom for capturing this most darling scene!! When the kids play dress-up, it's one for my favorite things to watch, observe, and photograph. </div>

Rodrik loves (and insists upon) his shorts pulled up to his chest and his socks pulled up to his thighs. I LOVE IT SO MUCH!! He had a good soccer season but I'm excited for him to move up next season so that the fields aren't so darn small! He made a goal as well! He takes soccer pretty seriously, and is so fun to watch.</div>

Isaac is LEAVING for Seattle TODAY!! He will be selling pest control for the summer! We are so, so, SO, sad to have him gone for these next 3 months; but we are hopeful this will be a good move for him. He will be so missed! Cool thing: He is going to be STOPPING BY TO VISIT CHANEL!! ON HER BIRTHDAY!! We are freaking out! We are so happy he gets to see her, and her him! And we might all be a lot bit jealous...!! What an amazing reunion!! Waaaa!! I guess I'm glad I'm not there to ball my head off. ;)</div>

I had the cutest pictures of Shane and Isaac before Isaac left--SO CUTE!! But I had to take them down because we aren't allowed to have pictures of him on a public site...So that's a bummer. We love them!! </div>
