September 2017

While playing a trivia game as a family Gabe had to spell the word cappuchino . . . we got a good laugh out of his version : )

Q leading the music during General Conference : )

No wonder the tub was draining slow.  We just pulled a VW Bug out of the drain!  And the master bath remodel has officially begun!

The reason the sun roof was invented . . . 

We took the kids to the Choctaw Homecoming Parade.  They all came home with a grocery bag full of candy. While exercising my right to a mommy tax I found something furry in one of the bags of candy.  Not wanting to touch it, I made Porter go grab a pair of pliers and we pulled a squirrel's foot out of the candy bag!  Not only did they pick candy up at the parade, they picked up roadkill!!!!

The tree house is complete!

 

 

 

I think Q was pretending to be a battle tank : )

Jim and Jan sent the kids Star Wars drones!  Can you tell they love them?

 

The boys are going through a phase of thinking it hilarious to put things in my drink.  Last month I found a frozen chicken nugget in my Diet Coke.  And guess what, I didn't find the chicken nugget until I had finished my drink.  So when I found it it was all soggy and mushy and gross!  The latest was a plastic roach in my water. 

I got back at the little prankster by painting his finger nails pink while he was asleep!  He's showing me that he chewed all the nail polish off his fingernails!

Regular size chicken egg, large egg, and a double yolker!

We find lizards in the backyard all the time, but this baby one was the cutest ever!

And that's all our crazy this month!

August 2017

John: I'm calling to let you know my kids won't be in school today.

School: Oh no, are they sick?

John: No, they are experiencing totality.  

Seriously, best school excuse ever!!!

We drove to Missouri to experience the solar eclipse in totality.  The eclipse was cool, but totality was AMAZING!  I still get goose bumps when I think about the moment it happened and everyone started cheering, the street lights coming on, the drop in temperature, the 360 degree sunset, and being able to look at the sun's corona without our glasses.  I've never experienced anything like it and can't wait for the next one in seven years! 

What does Batman do without Robin?

I'm going to miss this girl and the stupid faces she makes me make for selfies!

Playing Bananagrams with an eight year old boy😂😂😂

Sneaking in a few more trips to the amusement park before school starts.

Back to school shopping and lunch date with this almost kindergartener!

Lovin' us some backyard s'mores!

Things got a little wild at the Natural History Museum

Dallas!

We toured the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in Fort Worth, Texas.  Check your bank notes, if there's an FW printed on it, it was printed in Texas!

Touring the Devon Tower (the tallest building in OKC).

The boys learn how to change a bike tire...

The End.
