I'm here. I really am. Just haven't taken the time to post anything lately. But here goes.
This handsome guy just finished the 7th grade. He continues to stay busy with soccer, piano, organ and hanging out with his friends.
He also likes to make grocery lists for me on the white board. How nice of him.
Ben Ben spends his time taking self-portraits of himself on my phone. When he's not busy with that he tries to stay on top of his social schedule. I need to get him his own calendar so he can keep track of all of his play dates. They are non-stop!
He loves the "Vordak the Incomprehensible" book series and I often find him reading in his bed.
Owen decided to take on whittling for two days. Inside the house. With no thought of using the trash can that was right next to him.
He is also quite the soccer player and prides himself on running down all the competition on the field. And he does. Do you like the soccer jersey he made for himself? He wanted to look like Lionel Messi. Don't know who that is? Well, you obviously don't have an older brother that idolizes him.
My birthday was somewhere in there. 37 I believe.
Chasey just finished pre-school. Wow. Can't believe I'm done with preschool age kiddos.
He also likes to spend his time adding to his collection of rocks and sticks that he keeps in the corner of the house by the back door.
Scott and I took Taylor and Bennett to see "The Piano Guys" at Abravanel Hall. They put on a great show!
The big news is that Scott turned the big 4-0. He opted for a low-key celebration with just the family and instead...
took us down to Colorado so he could ride a 50 mile straight up the side of the mountain bike race with his biking buddy. We cheered him on for the 2.8 seconds we saw him whizzing by. And that was it.
After the bike race, we drove a little further up the road and ended up at Mesa Verde National Park. Pretty cool place for adults and kids.
I mean what kid wouldn't like climbing a 30 foot ladder...
climbing up a trail with a huge drop-off on one side....
and squeezing through a tight tunnel.
Mine certainly did.
