Momma Was in Charge

Last week Jason had a work conference in Provo for a couple of days so it was just me and the boys! Monday we all went about our business with school and wrestling practice the day went great and we were all happy. Then Tuesday came I got the big boys ready for school got them out the door Cole was complaining off and on of not feeling too well so there was a lot of snuggling and Netflix. I got up for about 10 minutes to do some laundry came upstairs and I am not joking you. There was dog throw up what seemed like ALL over! I have no clue what happened but I am about 99.9% sure it had something to do with Halloween being last week and the extra candy. Our poor Maisy. I spent literally a couple of hours mopping and shampooing carpets... All I have to say is it is a darn good thing she is cute!!  I ran and picked up the big boys and Owen was complaining of a headache and tummy ache... of course since dad was gone!
I got the boys all ready for bed and I'll just say there was not much sleeping with my little sickies, so the next morning I had them all stay home from school. I am not going to lie, I probably enjoyed it a bit too much. I love having them home.

I was upstairs getting some of my stuff done and they all ran up and were so proud that they had built this awesome fort down in the basement! I am not going to lie... It was pretty cool with the tunnel going into it!!
After they got done with that they wanted to work on Perler beads! Those things will keep these boys busy forever, we spent a lot of the summer making different creations with them so it was fun to pull them back out!!

I seriously love the concentration that goes on when they do this!

There must have just been a little 24 hour thing going around because they were totally fine the next morning and were able to go back to their normal routine! I loved my day with them but was glad they were able to go back to their regular routine!

Jason got back later on Tuesday and the boys and myself were so glad to have him back!

On Thursday night we rented Inside Out and had a little family night watching that and having a "picnic" on the family room floor. The boys wanted Pizza so that was what we went with!

 

 It is so fun to watch how the boys love these thing that to us aren't big things but to them they just love it and soak it all in. They are such sweet little things and make my heart so happy!! The weekend flew right by us on Saturday Jason took Owen to Logan to his wrestling meet. He did so well and wrestled his little heart out. I had to miss this one, Jettsen had basketball practice at the same time so Cole and I took him to that. It is so fun to watch the boys learn new things and pick up new skills and hobbies! While they had all the little kids in the circle doing their stretches Cole was on the side lines copying them doing his own little stretches! This little boy is ready for this spring when he finally able to start up doing soccer! and I can't watch him too! I am so grateful for my life and can't wait to add another little to our family!

                                                                                      



Wrestling Our Way Through Halloween

Halloween started off bright and early for us, Owen had a wrestling match at Mountain Crest High School at 8:30. So we got everyone up and ready and headed there. Owen was pumped and ready to show us what he was working so hard on.... I was nervous and praying he didn't get hurt (I am still not used to this wrestling stuff). They called all the cute little first and second graders down to be weighed and matched with and opponent Owen is just a small dude weighing 44 pounds but this does not stop him. He was a total animal, I couldn't believe that was my child, he was an animal and did so darn well and never gave up! He rocked his first match and it made my heart so happy watching him do something he loves and having so much fun doing it!!

This picture cracks me up, Owen is looking to Jason for advise and Jason has never wrestled and knows nothing about it (we are learning) so Jason says "I didn't know what to do so I just started to yell what all the other guys were yelling".

After the match Grandma and Papa took us to McDonalds for breakfast per the boys request. It was fun to be with them and Owen really appreciated their support!! When we got back home from there the boys were lucky enough to get to help to rake the leaves!! haha they sure didn't feel lucky but were fine with it when they got to put on their Halloween costumes and get ready to go Trick-or-Treating! Josh and Heather came over we got our candy out for the neighborhood kids and we were off!

 

We made our rounds the boys had a blast and then they got super tired and were ready to go home and get some sleep, well at least Cole was the two bigger boys and Jason went for another hour! All in all I would call it a successful Halloween! Now Bring on Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!!!!
