My little helpers this morning!


Ronnie and I are in the middle of a getaway made possible by my amazing mother-in-law. Four days to ourselves has been so great. I wouldn't want to be with anyone else. And I think a Hoover Dam tour is a pretty great way to spend Valentine's Day. (Now to love on my five little valentines when we get home tomorrow)

Kendree Rae, our energetic, loving, most helpful baby girl turned EIGHT today! She chose to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was baptized by her daddy. It was a wonderful day with many family members and dear friends in attendance to celebrate with her. Kendree is the best and her mama's best helper at 8. She is a wonderful example to her sisters and a friend to all. We love our Kendree!!!





We're officially back to reality, so I suppose it's time to document our trip. Ronnie and I had a wonderful four days in Vegas. We hit lots of highlights: In N Out, Hash House a GoGo, Tournament of Kings, Cirque, the temple, family, Hoover Dam, the strip, Bellagio water show and sleeping in every morning. It was a wonderful trip in every way!










28 weeks with baby 6 and I'm feeling really good. I love feeling baby's movements all day long. I'm sleeping great on my new purple mattress and that has been a game changer for this pregnancy. I just started having some hip/leg pain but the chiropractor fixed that right up! I need to get moving on my baby preparations as I haven't done a thing yet. Also, naming humans is hard.


Catching up on the last of the pictures from Kendree's Baptism. Kendree had wonderful support from family and friends. Here we have pictures of the Lindstrom side, the Lopez side, grandparents, Aunt Sandy and our family. It was a great day!!!






Why is KaLee posting a picture of a bowl lined with aluminum foil? Because it's my latest #happyhint ! If you can't find a container or can to drain the fat from your meat into, then line any bowl with foil and drain into that. Then, after it hardens, close it up and chuck it! So easy and no mess!

My amazingly talented friend made these cake pops for my mother-in-law for Valentine's day - then Karen forgot to take them home, so I got to eat them!  Win-win for me!

A little grandma-Brynlee story time.

There is nothing better than sleeping baby pictures.  

Chelsea and I did a little crafting and our watermelons turned out pretty dang cute (if I do say so myself).

See? Sleeping babies - so cute.  Even when they are ten.

Brynlee loves nothing more than to be a mother to her babies. 


Hallee loves her blankie but sometimes you need both hands, so on the head it goes!

Random Pictures from January 2018

Devynee's sleep adventures continue.  The frozen pillow is where her head should be...

 Inside a mermaid tail blanket, legs through the rails.

Brynlee just couldn't make it through the family movie night.

Brynlee's favorite hiding spot (under any hanging clothes in our house).

Aunt Katie gave the girls a "make your own Build-A-Bear set for Christmas.  They all loved it!



My mom had a "countdown to Christmas" that looked similar to this.  You move a bead from one side to the other.  Chelsea and I made our own version of it.  I love it.

Cheesing Hallee.

Easton played city league basketball and was on the Lakers.  He loved it! He is number 12.




Easton also entered a city-wide free throw contest.  He didn't do too bad, but you could tell there were kids in there that had spent significant time in front of a basket.  It just fueled Ronnie's desire to get a pole barn with basketball court built pronto. Also, Easton likes to dress in all one team when at all possible. I love it.

A little 4pm nap for these two today. NOOOO! How I hate the late afternoon nap.

So....
May as well continue on our streak,
Baby GIRL Lopez arriving in May!
.
Easton is doing fine. His reaction to the news was, and I quote, "Dang it. Did you decide what to name her?"

All three older girls got haircuts this week. They are loving them nd Mom is loving the lack of fights over combing out snarls!



After trying valiantly to help me vacuum, I went and got the play vacuum for her. She really wasn't anymore successful, but she was much happier!

Poor neglected #baby6 is already seeing less screen time and she's not even here. This is me at 23 weeks. I'm feeling great. I love the 2nd trimester. Baby is moving like crazy and I have lots of energy still. Good thing because Hallee caught Hand Foot and Mouth disease and is SO clingy. We're on the downhill slope though!

She got the right "eye liner" just the way she wanted it, but had to try about five times before she was happy with the left side.

Easton had his last Pinewood Derby last night! He designed his car and wanted a simple wedge shape. This year he went with a Wyoming theme. Much to his delight, he car was a fast one. he ended up as the grand champion of the evening and will compete at district!
