Cast! And eating Mac & Cheese off the ground

Avery got her hard cast on Friday. She had been saying she wanted a purple one but when she was shown the colors she loved the pink and quickly decided she wanted that color 😊. It matched her outfit perfectly! She was very brave but of course getting her temporary cast cut off was a little scary and her poor little arm was shaking and she said it hurt 😢. Poor sweet girl. The nurses were good and got the new cast on pretty quickly. I held Avery the whole time and helped her feel better. As we walked out and started again saying "the doctors help-a-me!" which is what she has been saying through this whole ordeal. She's such a sweetheart.

Since we were downtown at Primary Children's hospital we stopped at daddy's work and he came down to the road to say hi to us and to see Avery's cast. After that she was worried about where Asher was (she doesn't like to be without him for long and gets worried about him) so we hurried back to grandma Lori's house to see him and show him her cast 😀. Here she is on the way home.



Lately when Avery gets hurt or worried and Asher isn't around she says "I worried about Dashy" or "Sashy" (she calls him both). They aren't apart very often but since she has hurt her arm this is the third time she has had to go to the hospital without him and she is always concerned about him. I think it's so cute and it's usually when she gets sad that she says she's worried about him and that he might be sad too, and I always reassure her that he's ok and that we will see him soon 👫💗💙.

This was the day before, but it was so funny. They had been eating Mac and Cheese for lunch and Asher accidentally spilled his bowl, but it was no big deal. They just started eating it off the floor! Haha! I about stopped them but then thought, oh why not. The floors are pretty clean 😉.

Riverton Days parade

Tonight we went to the Riverton Days parade! It was hot but luckily we got a shaded spot.
Luke and Halle had fun collecting candy and were nice to share the candy with the twins. I think they had a lot of fun running around and driving for taffy :).
Asher loved playing in the dirt on the corner we were standing by. He would play in the dirt and then if something came by he was interested in he would run over (motorcycles, firetruck, train, horses) watch with us for a minute, and then run right back to the dirt.
Avery was very interested in the horses that came by and the princesses (Riverton City royalty). She also loves the bus and the train.





I love nights like these where we get to spend time together! Although we were hot and sweaty and had dust and dirt all over us from Asher playing in it we had a great time! Love this sweet family of mine ❤️❤️❤️.

Aquarium!

Luke and Halle are still in California with Grandma and Grandpa so today we went to the aquarium for a morning activity and it was fun to spend a little time with just the twins! We missed having big brother and sister but it's fun for mommy to have a little time to pay close attention to these little cuties.
They love the aquarium and get so excited to see all the fishies! They run to each new tank and point out each fish to me and to each other. I have so much fun taking them places! They are at the cutest age where everything is so interesting and exciting. And they were so well behaved today, even when it was time to go they were good about it and I put their little backpack leashes on with no complaints and we walked out to the parking lot (I don't dare take them into big parking lots without them in case one of the babies decides to run!).
Such little loves! So grateful for them! 💗💙👫

Ice cream!

A cold, windy summer day yesterday called for some McDonalds play place time, happy meals, and of course ice cream cones!

Summer shenanigans!

Asher bonked his head and was sad so my kids came up with idea of drawing a face on the watermelon and making him a "watermelon guy" to cheer Asher up 😂. It worked! Asher wouldn't look at the camera but his tears were gone. Loving these lazy summer mornings and having my older two home. They play so cute with the twins! 😊

Slide slide!

Asher loves playgrounds, especially slides, and could slide all day! Yesterday we went to the park and after we were there for about an hour, at about noon, it got really hot. All the kids were ready to leave, but not Asher! He was red faced and so hot but he did not want to leave that slide! I pulled the car over to the playground (we were at the one at the school) and got all the kids loaded in, but Asher was not going to leave that playground! I had to carry him off the slide crying and sad, poor guy. He loves it and will say "sli-sli-sli" over and over when he wants to slide. He is such a easy going guy 90% of the time but sometimes he gets something in his head and that's all he wants! Love this cute guy 💙.

Grandma Lori

Today is Mother's Day, and of course it gives me an opportunity to reflect on my mom.
"All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my mother." -Abraham Lincoln.
This could not be more of a true statement when I think of my mom. She is the best in every way and we are so lucky to have her!
