Another piano recital in the books! Devynee, Kendree and Easton did fantastic! Always so great to hear them perform the songs they have been working so hard on.
24 weeks! I'm going to pretend you can't see that pile of Halloween costumes I need to put away, mmmmkay? I'm feeling good and can't believe we are approaching the third trimester. Baby7 moves like crazy, and is active enough that sometimes I am startled by the movements. The kids are so excited for Baby7 to arrive. Hallee is the only one who is adamantly certain she wants a girl. The rest are team boy. Only time will tell.
Easton had a great first band concert of the year. He is loving the trumpet!
Happy 8th Birthday Devynee! Dev doesn't like cake, so a giant cookie is more her style. Devynee is the best. She loves her family and friends and plays with all of her siblings. One day it is Kendree and the next it is Sydnee. Devynee loves to read and burns through books. We loved celebrating her with family and friends.
Devynee was baptized and confirmed a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints on her birthday! It was a wonderful service with friends and family there to support her. We love Devynee and are so proud of her following her Savior's example.
Today was a snow day! The kids did chores, relaxed and even went outside for a whole 20 minutes.
Hallee has been very into being a superhero lately. She fights the bad guys and (usually daddy is the designated bad guy) with her blanket cape and mask and revolver and couldn't be cuter doing it.
Easton's dreams came true with the help of his Uncle Adam and Grandpa Lindstrom and he was able to go to the freezing cold Border War on 11/22. He loved every minute and the Pokes got the W!
Someone enjoyed the ice cream part of the birthday celebrations this week!
On 11/25, Brynlee was recognized as the Student of the Month in her Pre-K class. We got to enjoy cake with her and she was excited that Grandma was in town to see her get her award. Brynlee is everyone's friend and a great girl.
We had a parenting first the evening of 11/26. Our first kid to need stitches! Brynlee was so brave! She didn't cry at all for the entire process. The other kids were so concerned, it warmed my mama heart. Prayers were said over her and she was the first thing anyone asked about when they awoke today. (She was messing around after brushing her teeth and fell off the stool and hit her chin on the countertop).
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends and I learned once again that documenting it during all the fun is not a strength of mine. So grateful for all I have. Love this time of year when we are reminded to reflect on our blessings.
I neglected to post about Karen's birthday! Devynee loves sharing her birthday with Grandma. We enjoyed some yummy Mexican food and had brownies and ice cream. Then we set off fireworks to end our evening!
