will you....

6 months

Lil Squishy isn't so little anymore :( His 6 month stats:
20lbs 13oz 91%
27 inches 54 %

I have a feeling he is going to be short like his parents lol.
He has had a few little flu bugs the last few months but you would never know it, he is such an easy baby, always happy. He loves to scoot by arching his back and pushing his head forward and then teetering back and forth. He loves toys, puts everything and anything in his mouth, loves food, can sit up for a second but prefers to lay down still. I wish he could stay this little forever.

Silly Sophie

My house is a disaster, well it always is but since the sickness I really can't keep up. I carry around a can of Lysol everywhere I go, we have gone through one already this week lol. TJ is sweet enough to clean up the clutter, he knows I hate it and vacuumed the living room once since Miss Sophie had dumped a box of fruit loops and bag of chips all over and did I even care, nope! Some funny things she has done this week

I am collecting laundry and put Callaway on the floor in the living room with some toys, thank heavens he loves to play with toys! Sophie comes running into the room, of course she has taken off her 3rd outfit and its only 11am, she is in just her underwear.
"Mommy! Cowway lits my teets!"
I hear Callaway likes my teets, I tell her to go show me thinking this could be interesting. She lays next to him and smiles a big toothy grin and Callaway giggles uncontrollably.
"Seee Mooommy!! He lits my teets!"
Guess Callaway has a thing for TEETH!

Sophie loves to copy her sisters dance moves, she is always telling people "WATCH THIS!!" and spins around sometimes you will get an airabesque too. Her favorite thing to do with Brielle is dance while dressed up with make up on.


She loves to play on my Ipad, so I tell her she can only play it if she sits on the couch. She has learned so much with all the fun interactive games, our favorite apps are by duck duck Moose. They are so fun and she has learned so much, plus it keeps her entertain while at the Drs office too lol. She also steals Callaways binkie a millions times a day, no I am not exaggerating. She is houdini with making the binkie dissapear and placed in her mouth. She doesn't have naps anymore but she still has "quiet" time, she usually reads or plays on the ipad once in awhile she will fall asleep but then she doesn't go to bed easily.

Hunter has been obsessed with watching all 4 of the Jaws movies, who knew there were 4! Well now Sophie will say "Shhhh, SHARKS coming!" its so sweet, sometimes she will even sing duh duh, duh duh, duh duh DA! Its hilarious!
She does a mean fish face :)



We sure love lil Miss Sophie even if she draws on walls, cuts her hair, makes the biggest messes within seconds, she keeps us on our toes!

sickness

We have NEVER been this sick for this long. Usually we get sick and it last a day or two about once a year, this year it has lasted all month long! Brielle got the flu and was out for a week, Sophie and Callaway have gotten a little bit of everything but thankfully haven't been too sick, TJ wierdly enough hasn't been sick and he is always sick! As for me and Hunter....



Adenovirus/pinkeye!!

I would rather have the flu!!! Adenovirus is like the flu but with awful pinkeye! Luckily Hunter didn't get it as bad and only in one eye. I wasn't as lucky, both eyes awful awful AwFuL!!! I am thankful for such good friends/neighbors who have brought my family dinner, dropped off treats, and called or wrote to say they were thinking of my contaminated house!! I am one lucky girl! Now hopefully it will go away!! My eyelids are not as swollen and its day #5 here is hoping of a quicker recovery.

Blue and Gold Banquet

Hunter had his first blue and gold banquet and received his bobcat badge! He had so much fun and we are so proud of him!

Callaway was asleep and he was the only one representing the luau theme lol

Sophie the hairdresser

I had a Mommy meltdown, yelling, screaming, hysterical crying all because of my Sophie girl.
I was helping Brielle with her homework, she missed a week of school because of the flu, at her school they move so fast if you miss a week, you end up with 20 pages of homework. We were working away when Sophie comes up and sits by us and I see hair falling onto the table I look up and she had given herself a hack job. I was so upset, I called my neighbor/friend who does my hair and asked if she could come over and fix it. Looking at her now it could have been much worse, once again she looks like a hillbilly.

Birthday and Basketball fun

This weekend was full of basketball and birthday fun with my family!
Hunter got a cool new Jazz jersey and went to the Dixie State Girls Basketball game, he got some pointers from my Dads friends daughter Rachel, who is on the team! He was in heaven!






Go Dixie and GO Rachel!!!


Since my Dad won't be down for his birthday we took him to Pizza Factory for his number pizza!

Basketball season

Hunter played in his first basketball game and it was so fun to watch. He had two games and scored the only 3 point! The first game he was getting a feel of what it was like to play against another team and by the 2nd game figured it out! We can't wait to see how much he will learn this season! TJ and his cousin Brock are coaching the same boys again, I love how all these boys play all the different sports together, they are so much fun to watch play and grow. Hunter had quite the turn out of fans, thanks to all our family who came to support his new sport adventure! Go Celtics!

Scouts

Hunter is growing up, it's so fun watching him do fun new things but so sad because he isn't a Little boy anymore, Cub Scouts here comes Hunter!

Ms Lambert birthday

I brought a cake for Hunter's class so they could celebrate Ms Lamberts birthday! They loved it!

Mad Scientist Party

Welcome to Hunter's Mad Scientist lab


I am addicted, I admit it I love parties, I love planning them and surfing the web for fun ideas and then coming up with my own version. I love looking around for cheap things I can use, when Hunter said he wanted a Mad Scientist party I thought it would be impossible but I think I pulled it off with great success! You can't go out and buy things so I made almost everything. On the plus side I had most of the supplies needed and got a ton of things on sale after Halloween. Yes my kids know what kind of party they want months in advance and the rule is once they tell me they can't change their minds.
Starting with the table
I didn't have time to have them build marshmallows towers or make their own cupcakes but the table had tons of glass jars filled with candy, colored water, frozen skull, frozen brain then we added dry ice to make the water bubble and smoke. It sounded just like a lab, made me happy and the boys thought it was cool.




Also on the table I had Radioactive glow in the dark sticks and drinking straws, mad scientist glasses, crazy straws, and jello filled petri-dish for them to take home in their Biohazard bags



We had Pizza and breadtwists and Toxic waste, I was going to do sludge and had clear plastic cups marked with ML measurements to look like bleakers but last minute found the 6 pack of Orange soda in bottles for $2!!

And the cake idea was from family fun, it's suppose to be a flask but well, let's just say I suck at making cakes lol. I always find cute ones but they don't turn out at all how they are suppose to ;) I used a pvc pipe with an end cap, put it in the middle of two bunt cakes and frosted it, then we added dry ice and warm water to produce the smoke


Then the thank you notes, I filled plastic test tubes with green pop rocks and the note said "Thanks you rock!"
For the experiment's we did:

Slime, bouncy balls, balloon blow up, C02 sandwiches, lava lamps, Rocket launchers, and the big finale... Diet Coke Geysers. I also had the 2 liter bottles to do tornados but we didnt have time. I printed and laminated all the instructions for each experiment for the boys to take home.



Here are some pictures of the boys during the party.
