April Recap

April

It is June and I am just finding some time to post about April.

I had to post this for my mom; I know Andrew takes after her.

And this other little cutie loves to watch his siblings playing outside. He is so ready to be out there with them. He is always ready to give his mama a big smile though.

The Blue Whales.

This season is going by so fast. Unfortunately with an unpredictable weather I haven’t been able to bring my camera with me as often. Julia has really grown a lot in the past year. She is now a bit more aggressive although she is still too nice to try and steal the ball from another player. She is great at defense but would rather be up on front scoring the goals.

On this game she actually scored three goals. One of them from middle field and one that made it to net so hard it unhooked it from one corner. It was so amazing to see her reaction after that last goal. She was so surprised that she had really done that all by herself.

 

Every time that Julia tries her best at soccer she gets to pick something fun to do later on the day after we are done with our chores. Well this day chores were done in 20 minutes instead of the normal 3 hours that takes them between complaining and wandering around.

She picked to go to the castle park in Layton. The brothers were so happy for the choice. They all love that park.

Daniel got his first swing of the season and as you can see he enjoyed it A LOT

Daniel attempting to crawl
I can believe how fast my little man is growing. I want him to stay little but he insists on doing the opposite. These were his first attempts at crawling. His chunky legs know what to do but his little arms just don’t want to cooperate much. As a result he was stuck on that same place until he gave up and decided it was much easier to roll around instead.

Daniel

I can’t say how in love I am with my little man. He is always so happy and content with life. Every time he sees me I get a huge smile from him. He loves to snuggle and when mommy is not around he would snuggle himself.  It was a busy morning and had left him on his highchair with some cheerios while I worked around the house. I walked by and saw this sweet little face; he was rubbing his own head.  And that was the end of my chores for the day, because he and I went to snuggle together for a while.

Josh’s Kindergarten round-up
I cannot believe this little guy is starting kindergarten soon. How fast time goes by. He got to meet the kindergarten teachers and visit the k rooms. They had the current kindergarteners come over, to the gym where we were, and partner each other with one of the little kids. Josh was a little timid at first and asked me to take him to the group. After a second I heard him talking to this little boy.

He introduced himself to the little guy and then his “interrogation” started. Hey what’s your name, hey how old are you? Oh, I am 4 but my birthday is coming up. Hey where are we going? Do you know this playground? My sister knows it. And he kept talking to that little boy until they went inside the classrooms for an activity. He was so excited to come out with a little stick puppet and told me all about the games they had played and how he couldn’t wait to start kindergarten.

Andrew

Today I couldn’t stop smiling at Andrew on seeing how sweet and loving he was. Sometimes I find it so hard to find time on my crazy list of to- do’s to stop and just enjoy my kids. I am glad this was not one of those days; otherwise I would have missed watching my son’s kind spirit on action.
I had forgotten to feed the cat so he was meowing. I came back to the kitchen and saw Andrew sitting on the floor telling the kitty that everything was ok, patting him and asking him if he was hungry; next I saw him give him some food all on his own.

Later that night, as I was trying to get kids ready for bed, Daniel started crying. Andrew ran to where he was and helped him feel better. He grabbed some toys and started telling him: “oh, buddy is ok, mommy is right there, don’t cry”. It was the sweetest thing to see these two together. I know they will be good friends when they grow up.

Orthodontist Field Trip

Josh had been learning about dental hygiene at joy school and it was only fitting for us to visit a dental hygiene office.  Coleman’s Orthodontics is such a great place. They learned a lot and they were even able to make a mold of their finger. At the end they got balloons and a treat bag filled with toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss. My kids love mint floss and that’s what they got.
