The weather is fantastic in September. I was heavy into St.George Marathon training, so it was great to have some beautiful views like these on my long runs.

| Gavin came home with this picture from school. He said it was him and Daysha, a girl in his class. I asked him why he looked so mad. He said, "She has a crush on me and eeevvverrrryyyy boy in the class. It's so weird Mom." It cracked me up. I was talking to the boys later about it and as Gavin was telling Jaylen and I about Daysha chasing him around and having a "crush" on him, Jaylen was dry heaving and ran to the bathroom to throw up because it was grossing him out so much. Jaylen said, "I feel like we're going through puberty!" I busted up. I asked Jaylen what puberty meant and he just giggled and said he didn't know. Oh, these boys. Here we go! |
 |
| Gavin loves doing his homework dressed in his angry bird blanket, eating something. |
 |
| Our YM/YW did a car wash and food drive for activities. It was fun to drive through and see Aaron in his element with the youth. They're so lucky to have him (and vice versa!). He loves them and it shows. |
I'm the Wolf den leader and we've had quite the adventures with the boys. We have 6 of them now and man are they crazy all together. I called up a local auto recycling place and the owner graciously agreed to take us on a tour. The boys LOVED IT! Oh man, they kept finding "treasures" on the ground and loved explored the smashed cars and seeing all the smashed cars piled up on each other. They collected a few pieces to take home and turn into a recycled robot.
Look who is 11 months old!! He just took his first unaided steps the day before these pictures. He babbles, loves food, sleeps through the night (most nights), loves watching his brothers, chews on everything, loves going into our shower and playing with the metal part of the shower drain (it's seriously an obsession for him). I'm still nursing him and he's such a sweet, easy going baby!

| Gavin's monster he made from the auto recycling scraps. |
 |
| Jaylen is playing flag football on the rec league. He's funny to watch. He's not aggressive at all and doesn't have much talent here, but he plays and has fun, so that's what matters, right?!? |
We went to Jaylen's friend and neighbor Henry's baptism. Jaylen was the only friend there and we were proud of him that he wanted to go and never complained about going. Here's the sweet card he made for him.
 |
| Gavin wasn't as into the baptism... haha |
 |
| Jaylen will come in early and snuggle me. Every blue moon he'll fall back asleep. It's some of my most favorite moments! |
 |
| Gavin will hide under the laundry when I'm pouring it on the floor to fold. I couldn't find Gavin and after a bit I realized he had fallen asleep under the clothes, waiting for me to dump more. |
 |
| This boy lights up the room! |
 |
| How Gavin likes to read books |
 |
| Jaylen doing his reading in the warmth of the sun |
 |
| Any opportunity to tease Aaron about cats, I'll take. The boys and I found this $.50 cat decal at the store and I woke up extra early to surprise Aaron with his new gift. Aaron was "thrilled." |
 |
| Sweet Gavin |
 |
| Jaylen was so proud of his new trick! |
Miles loves real food! He is SO messy. Holy smokes. Since he's been taking steps and eating our house is always a disaster area it feels like. Food all around his high chair, drawers open with Miles dragging everything out. Good thing he's so adorable!
 |
| Jaylen was up at 4:30 am this day and zonked out within 5 minutes of lying on our bed. |
My client Tiffany got a new puppy! We went over to visit her pup and she is pretty crazy into Pokemon GO, so she gave us a lesson on how to play. The boys were in HEAVEN! (We're a little Pokemon GO crazy over here)
I came home from work to see Aaron laughing over Miles asleep in his high chair. So sweet. It's pretty funny to see the work it takes him to use two teeth to eat an apple.
 |
| Jaylen brought this home from school. It's about him! |
 |
| I really liked this. Oh the excuses I hear ALL THE TIME. |
 |
| OH THAT CHUBBY FACE IS THE BEST! |
 |
| Anytime Miles hears the bath running or shower on he goes crawling in (full clothed usually). He loves being in the water! |
 |
| Gavin's primary teacher sent me this- they had a lesson on talents and her daughter let Gavin try her cello. |
 |
| Aaron took this of Miles falling asleep |
 |
| The sky was so amazing this night!! |
