off by OVER an ounce

PLEASE NOTE: 

our at home scale was off by OVER an ounce πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ™ˆ, but after ripping off a few weights with a knife in the #church kitchen to get us cleared for take off, team #Pikachu pulled through πŸ‘ŠπŸ»πŸŽπŸ˜œ. The "legendary crack" will forever be its name πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ‘πŸ»πŸŽπŸ˜œ. Wildest dream come true for this 8 yr old tonight‼️

hard knock {bobcat}

When you have your first little #baby you don't really feel like#parents πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­, let alone a grownup πŸ˜³. At least you don't when you have your first baby at 25 πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ‘ΆπŸ»πŸ’™. Probably not if you had your first baby at 35 either. Tonight when Brennan was pinning his bobcat onto my shirt, my #mama heart πŸ’• skipped a beat, and I felt little bit more veteraned in this hard knock life of parenthood πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ‘ΆπŸ»πŸ’™#foreverandalways #mybabyyoullbe #scouts #scouting

'twas the very best halloween night yet.

Last year on Halloween I was on DAY 2 of plexus πŸŽƒπŸ‘»πŸ˜œ. At the end of the day I realized I hadn't eaten a single piece of candy 😳🍬🍭. I thought that must be placebo πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­ so I ate a peanut butter cup and hid another on the top shelf of my pantry for the next day. Mama has to hoard and hide y'all πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­. Normally this would have been gone the next day after lunch, but last night while i was digging around for the pumpkin πŸŽƒ carving πŸ—‘ stencils I ran into my old friend and started laughing out loud. My old #candy hoarding tactics πŸ˜‚πŸ˜­πŸ¬πŸ­πŸͺπŸ™ˆ bahahaha!!!! Happy to report it wasn't Placebo, and that my old friend Reese's Peanut Butter Cup was right where I forgot about him. HAPPY HALLOWEEN! πŸŽƒπŸ‘»

'twas the very best halloween night yet.
especially bc i finally remember to not make dinner on halloween.
all hail the hot dog cider doughnut house.

without any rush to get to the next

This year will forever be the year that's engrained in my mind as 
the "year of the little boys." 
It took us two attempts to go walking today 
bc the first time we got caught in a sudden downpour. 
Like hiding under trees bc a flash flood literally appeared out of nowhere 
Also, if you missed the breaking news, there was a tornado in Utah today, 
and I swear to you the skies were swirling all day long across the entire state. 
I have video to prove it. Have you ever seen an entire sky of clouds move in circles??? 
Like FAST circles with an eerie black, grey sky. 
Well Maria and I did today, and it was NUTS! 
So in between our two walks today we sat in the garage 
and went in and out to be in the rain. 
I told chase the wetter he got, the taller he'd grow. Basically I bribed him to brush death with lightening, but let me tell you, it was my favorite part of the entire day. 
I think the best part of being able to do the little years part deux 
is that you know it's not going to last, 
and you know they're going to grow up and get obnoxious, 
so basically anything they do that might have been "naughty" 
when your oldest child did it at the same age just seems sweet and innocent 
with the second pack that comes through. 
Love these little boys, 
and this year where we get to soak it all in 
without any rush to get to the next.
